Extra Playoff Tickets For STH

It sounds like mailing them isn't an option, which might be an attempt to make it tough to scalp for those of you grease balls trying to do that!

 

how do you get them then?

 

The only option is to pick them up on game day at Will-Call. I suppose you could deal with the scalpers on site, but it would make it hard to any online transactions.

 

All circuits are busy!!!!!!!

 

Interesting. That would make it very difficult to re-sell them then.

 

Don't give up!

 

What kind of seats did you get?

 

I got the purple sections, but it sounded like only the 200 level was sold out at 12:20.

 

I also got the purple seats but I didn't look into lower bowl options. I called at 11:55am and they said orange seats were already sold out.

 

I have to admit, it's really lame of the team to do this. I realize they want to reward STH, but come on..... not everyone can afford to buy season tickets right now, and a lot of people have been following this team through the shitty seasons. There are plenty of people who bought season tickets after we got Oden, who hadn't watched a game in years. I think it's bullshit. They're letting you guys buy up to four tickets? Seriously? That's fucked up.

 

I'm happy to hear they are making it more difficult for scalpers.

 

I understand your opinion on the matter but the Portland TrailBlazers are a business. They are rewarding their investors just like any other company would

 

So they reward some of the people who have been "investing" in them for two seasons, over the people who have been "investing" in them (without pause) for the last twenty? It's not very smart.

This city is historically filled with front runners. Most of the people on this board have been following the team through the good and the bad, but there are the casual fans who only jump on the band wagon when the team is winning. They like to use excuses like "bad character" or "Jail Blazers," but in reality they only care if the team is winning. They had no problem supporting the team when they were in the WCF with JR Rider, Rasheed Wallace, and Damon Stoudamire.

 

It would have been cool if they gave longer STH priority over recent STH but then you're getting a little too much into details and it kind of represents the organization as nit-picky.

And currently they're not rewarding any STH over another. Everyone has access at the same time. I guess if you see that as a reward for recent STH thats different.

 

I think they should just give you priority over the seats you purchased. Allowing STH to buy up to four tickets each is ridiculous.

 

I had season tickets when we were starting Telfaire, Khyapa, Miles, Zach, and Dixon. I think I deserve the right to get a couple extra tickets for my buddies as a reward for being a full time investor of the team. It's not like I can buy 10 tickets and they are not mailing them to us, so selling them online isn't an option either.

I would be mad if Joe Blow who only goes to 1-2 games a year and didn't watch them at all during their down years had the same priority as me to get tickets.

 

Yes 4 additional is a little much. I agree

 

Most businesses work that way and there is a reason for that. You treat your best customers well by giving them extra incentives to keep coming back.
