Getting bounced in round 1 the last 2 years and general apathy. Load management. I don't go to either of B2B games, especially the second half of the season, at least not if paying premium prices. For ~$40 to sit in the lowers tomorrow night is a good deal. No one will be sitting for us. I don't think I can go but I wish I could.

Regular season stopped mattering. We won as the 3rd seed and 2 years later, the same team lost in R1 as the 1st seed.

I do wonder how many season ticket holders are down since 2021. I notice my old seats were not replaced because the team is selling them every game on Ticketmaster. As said, I was disappointed when increased so much to end my value BUT could not be happier now. They did me a favor.

To me the apathy is kinda feels like we peaked, Giannis right or wrong is a fixture here now vs hot new superstar act, regular season is getting pretty devalued overall but we’re not an upstart on the rise anymore. We’re more lets keep it together and see what happens in the playoffs. I think NBA as a whole is losing viewership and the 3 point or busy strategy is getting tougher to watch. Need a new wave of stars to shine as LeBron, Curry, KD, Kawhi are near the end. Jokic, Giannis are at that tipping point. Ant, Doncic, SGA, Tatum idk if are huge drawing power nationwide yet, can maybe argue this. Either way, add it all up, plus factor in parking/concession prices and equals ass demand.

My season tickets went up something like 80% when I chose not to reup. That also happened to coincide with the pandemic. Their timing on that could not have been worse.

From their perspective, I think it worked. people in general have been surprisingly flush with extra money for travel and entertainment the past few years. I think overall they were fine until this year, which is the long-term downside of not have a solid base.

don't get me wrong, I got out and think it's crazy to pay that much for both the ticket and food. But look at the lines at halftime. people are willing to pay a crap ton for beer and food instead of just grabbing something before hand and just watching the game.

Did you give up your season seats this year or plan to? I can’t even imagine how STH that do not go to every game are losing their ass. Outside of the Lakers, Warriors I think pretty much every game I half consider(ed) going to you can get into the lower level under $60. Many of us said the Bucks were playing with fire and feel that time is here. Assuming we get bounced rd 1 or 2, more STH are going to bail and the NBA is trending the wrong way in general. Honestly they could offer me season seats at 25-30% less than when I finally got out and don’t think I take it. I don’t even know if 50% off would suck me back in.

I only pre-bought 20 games from my friend who stayed in with 4 seats for this current season. They originally told him to decide by 2/8 after raising slightly. They extended that deadline. Something tells me they didnt meet their re-up quota. Horrible timing for them with this stretch of crappy games while having these convos.
(I told him he should cancel, but I would probably do the same 20 games pre-purchase just as a goodwill friend thing. No way I would re-up if it was just me)

Holy ****, so they actually RAISED the prices again for next season?! That is insane, even if it is was minor. It is almost as if they figure whoever is still there is likely going to stay so going to milk it.

I know they offered those 3 or 5 year deals a few years back with I think no more than 8% raise season to season. Curious if Bucks are maxing that out on those people that took that deal.

I would tell him to get out too. I know it sucks to drop them, I was bummed for awhile especially after having them so long. But once the season kicked off I have had zero remorse on giving them up. If the team was rolling, would I feel different? I don’t know, maybe, but probably not as feel the fanbase is at that need to see it in the playoffs point and each season the regular season seems more devalued. Feel like the whole league sleep walks as have a tier of for sure playoff teams, a couple treadmill squads, and then a plethora of lottery level teams.

Ticket prices raised ten bucks per seat per game so i cancelled.

Ticket rep called today and offered me reduced pricing:

10 bucks less per seat per game than i was paying this year. Essentially last year's pricing.

Told her its probably still a no. Seats i paid 66 for this year almost never sell for that much and i often have trouble selling them for 30 before fees get taken out.

Anyway, they must be in a full on panic if they are reducing prices. Ownership might have to mandate the biggest acquisition possible to get those tickets out the door

their ticket pricing is crazy but if this was all about money, they would just blow it up. I'm using round figures but revenue on 100% capacity assuming $150 a ticket sold out every game is $100m. there's a ceiling on ticket revenue. far easier to save $100m by not paying Dame and Giannis than it is trying to raise ticket revenue

I can only imagine the lower level folks taking huge hits. Every game besides maybe Lakers I see baseline lowers for under what my upper level season price was going to be. I actually saw some lower sideline seats for like $45 for a game in April. Those I can’t imagine are under $125/ticket if not more.

I've never bought a season package I just buy the cheaper lowers on the secondary market. I was spending $110-125 per game during our finals run including the Atlanta series for lowers. I found it hard to believe finals tickets were going to be thousands of dollars after I was sitting lower level in the ECF for $120, but they sure got there.

[soboMP3]

I’ve been saying this the past few years now, but I’m 100% telling the season ticket group I grab 3-4 games from a year with (for the past 20 years, and it used to be like 10 games) that I’m done. We had 3 games this year in our usual lower corner/aisle seats and it was basically $320 a game for two tickets. I could score two tickets on StubHub with similar seating for $120 a game. Probably even cheaper. It’s ridiculous.

Also in some weird bizarro world, my kids keep asking me to take them to an Admirals game and I can never find seats on StubHub less than $40 after fees. I bought $20-after-fee tickets to the upper level for bucks tickets back in November. And they were actually pretty good seats!

[DMBucks22]

In a bizarre twist has any STH had the same price DECREASE for round one of the playoffs? My price for the same seats is $16 cheaper than what I have been paying all year and $1 cheaper for round 2 even. Rep says pricing is accurate.

[soxperry]

Yes, extremely bizarre on one hand..

Except not really because the prices reflect about the average price that seats have been selling for all year. So they have clearly adjusted and i expect season seats will be even lower than the discount i was offered a few weeks ago.

[soxperry]

Just got an email saying i can purchase up to 6 additional playoff strips (lol)

The paat two seasons i dont think its been possible to get even one.

Playoff strips used to be a huge benefit for STH before they caught on and jacked playoff pricing up. I think they see secondary pricing and know the market is going to be pretty soft barring an unexpected deep run…which with this Dame news got even more unlikely.

Curious as a non season ticket holder how much in the last 72hrs did the bucks sales staff push deals knowing the likelihood of bad Dame news.

I've bought partial 10 to 15 packs twice at fiserv. Once during the opening of the fiserv when you could pick 10 games. Then post Dame trade.

Both times the partial season packages weren't available till a few weeks out of the season. I found really curious when I saw partial plans being sold during the Suns game.

Yeah...its extremely curious

Just like our first payments for playoffs being processed 3/24 and the announcement coming 3/25

[brewbucks]

The Bucks been thirsty as hell with the ticket deals and Bucks store promo deals.
