Most places that have done PSLs in N.America have tiered prices, much like the tickets themselves. So PLs would be different from Chrysler Club seats.

And also the common setup here is that PSLs are required to buy seasons tickets. Some places you lose your PSL if you don't buy tickets that year (most people just re-sell PSLs or tickets to avoid that). Basically as the name implies, you need a license for the seat before your can buy seasons.
And ya, all of this is predicated on there being sufficient demand that people would be willing to pay $X for that right. Given we can't sell out the dome, let alone a material increase in cost, its unlikely that'd work unless the price was low enough (which then defeats the purpose of raising a good amount of money).
I'd almost see a European club model (debenture) working better here, because there it is structured more like a legit bond that you'd buy to help support your team and get a financial interest in the team (which has added bonus of increasing engagement, etc). You get annual interest, but more commonly tickets, or savings in in lieu of cash interest, but its a common way of raising cash over there.
