OT Season Ticket Holders... What do you think of....

[Orion Bailey]

The extreme price hike that the Blazers added for next season?

I told my rep blindly I wanted to renew. I finally went in to see what the costs are and see I was bumped up by 50%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I emailed my rep this mornign when I saw that and asked my optiosn on how to cancel my tickets.


I understand playing the market, but this is way out of line in my opinion.

I went from $3150 for my pair to $4790.


OUTRAGEOUS and i'm pissed......I wanted to be a season ticket holder for decades, but not if they are going to fluctuate that much.


So guys like @Lanny @Charcoal Filtered and any other season ticket holders, how do you feel about this?

This shouldn't be OT. That sucks.

Thank you for paying for Dame's super max and Stott's new contract.

You sir are a complete jerk!!!!

No wonder he wants Dame to take less.

HAHAHA For the record, I wanted him to take less prior to finding out about the price hike.

Portland had the sixth lowest ticket cost last year. Deal with it

If I had one, Id give you the middle finger emoticon. LOL


Really though. I dont care about other markets.

This price increase just priced me out of attending games. I'm sure i'm not the only one.

And if you ever came to town, I woulda taken you to a game, but now you will have to deal with not going. (probably a relief for you, lol)

 

[Stevenson]

I agree, it's a significant bump. One thing the Blazers do that make it easier is to give a discount based on the number of years you are a season ticket holder. That made it far more palatable in my case.

 

[Hoopguru]

I bet only ripcitytwo forum friends get that kind of increase.

Right. That 2% discount really offsets that 50% increase....

I consider it robbery.

I have season tickets

I have season tickets

So you travel from Texas to every game?

 

[barfo]

It's your own damn fault. If you would have rooted against the Blazers, they might have been swept by OKC and the ticket prices would not have increased.

Your best option now is to try to convince them to trade Dame, CJ, and Nurk for Ray Felton.

Nice hypothesis, but they actually sold me the tickets to next season before the playoffs started. I only just this morning went into the account details to see what I was being charged .

 

[tiredhunter]

Orion, how many seats/where? From what I saw in Feb, it really depends on location. The zoned out a lot of what had been cheaper areas to sideline 300s front row/behind the basket 200s price tier. So, it seems to create a better margin on more of the seats, and more directly cost out the "good" cheap seats.

Sure, and you think the playoffs aren't completely rigged? I suppose you think the men actually walked on the moon, too.

Of course not. I give them to family, friends, etc.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

First world problems.......I wouldn't buy season tickets to anything that charges me 8 dollars for a bottle of water.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Cool. You can deal with it. lol. I dealt with it. I told my rep to cancel that shit.

Hydrate prior to entering.

They will be getting a lot of nasty calls, I'm sure

We had really good seats about 20 rows in but behind one basket just prior to moving to Vegas, Supercuts was a corporate sponsor back then so we had free parking and seats.

It was fun to go every so often but I still preferred watching on tv. If they were 20 rows in at center court I could see it but that would have to be crazy expensive.

I rarely bought any food, occasionally one beer. I am a cheap mofo on stuff like that.

I'll be your family or friend.

Mine are 300 level, but some of the best 300 level you can get. half court. Handicapped section in front so we have a rai lto hang costs on and stuff.

I really didn't wanna give them up...

Yeah I would dump those tickets. No way would I pay those prices to sit in the 300 level.

ESPECIALLY now that I know I can smooze some off of @Mediocre Man !!!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

They'd have a case if they made it to the finals.

This hike is outrageous.

This thread shows you why the Warriors got rid of their poor fans.

Yeah, that bites, here is a comparison of the sections I was talking about.
