One thing they are delayed on is announcing give away nights. Usually it is out by now. Also, did we lose guaranteed giveaways? That was one perk I liked not having to fight to be one of the first 10k into the main door. (I used the BMO entrance and they don't hand in giveaways)

It's the cool new thing to do to maximize concession sales. Brewers have done the same thing.

ok...so, the bucks app on the phone shows the TIER. Are they only counting amount spent in one year? Can't imagine many would qualify for the top tie which makes sense I suppose.

Yes, that is my understanding. It is the dollar amount plus the milestone bonus. My understanding is the milestone bonus is every year after year 5. So at year 5, you get 2,500 plus dollar amount. My assumption is it goes to 5,000 bonus (2500+2500) at year 10 plus dollar amount. If I'm accurate, I'm pretty much stuck in my benefit tier for a long time. And really the only additional things I gain are League Pass, 10% Pro Shop Discount, extra $50 Fiserv credit, and Exclusive Event with a Player Appearance if you bump into the Starter (Cream) tier.

I think the biggest thing this year is just advance notice to the events. I know the Meet and Greets the past few years were like 24-48 hour notice, which is pretty tough. I just lucked out that 2 years ago it occurred on a game I planned to go to in advance.

They started out strong so far with the Tip off party announced over a week in advance. I selected movie night like for 4 of my items last year and they never communicated it to me. I followed up in like late March asking if this was happening and my rep was like "why didn't you let us know sooner" 1. you guys usually give 24 hour notice 2. it was your job to notify me

I do think the giveaway option is gone. I picked that last year and liked it as well. At the very least if I got things I did not like, I could giveaway to others or the bobbleheads were usually an sell to collectors.

I see the Member Tip-Off now coincides with a team scrimmage on Sunday which I get a couple tickets for. Kicking around maybe going…

I'm glad they're having the open scrimmage again. It gives a lot of people a chance to see some Bucks in action that can't necessarily afford game tickets. It always used to be the first weekend of camp, now it's the last, either way is good.

My two favorite scrimmage moments:

1. Seeing rookie Dan Gadzuric in 2002, running the floor like a gazelle. Dunking, blocking shots, grabbing every rebound. We got ourselves a second round superstar.

2. 2001. Fresh off our ECF appearance, the BC was buzzing with Anthony Mason rumors. There was a lot of talk in the crowd that Mason had just signed that morning and would be making an appearance. No Twitter back then, just word of mouth rumors. When the players came out everyone was looking for Mason. But he wasn't there. He didn't sign until a few days before the season. He played all 82 and the season was a disaster. We went from ECF to not making the playoffs.

2001 I was a freshman at Marquette and was so jacked to be down in Milwaukee. The home opener was a genuine buzz vs. Boston and that season was a hot start. As great as that was, the last 2 months of the season probably ranks up there as biggest disappointments as a Bucks fan when you factor expectations and where they were in the standings early February. Remember going to 76ers Saturday afternoon game in like February, NBC game, and the team was sluggish. Karl lit into the squad post game and they never really recovered. It was kind of the turning point of his tenure.

I remember going to the scrimmage in 2003, or maybe just a team event, but got pictures and autographs of Danny G, Daniel Santiago, Ted Davis, Johnny Mac. Danny G signed my beer cup as was a free beer event. It was cool access.

Has anyone RSVP'd for the Tip Off party and received the 2 free tickets to the Oct 22 scrimmage? I thought these would automatically show up in our ticket account but not seeing anything.

Interesting stipulations. So if I go to a game with my kid, I only get 1 giveaway? Dont miss the distribution line either. Hopefully they’re more organized than years past. The championship ring giveaway was an epic fail. I just wish they do it all at the gates vs specific areas without a ton of direction on where to go.

“Promotional Item Distribution Guidelines
Door giveaway items are subject to the following guidelines:

One item per guest per ticket. A guest with multiple tickets will still only receive one item.

Guests must be in attendance to receive the giveaway.

Bucks reserve the right to deny distribution to guests with invalid tickets.

Items are only given away upon entrance or in designated distribution locations in arena. If a guest misses the distribution—they will not be given the item for returning to the distribution area.

Bucks are not responsible for lost or stolen giveaway items.“

seems like they are only talking about a person who has two or more tickets to the game but decided to go alone.

Yes, it sounds like you and your kid need to show up at the designated area and show tickets for both of you and you get 2 items.

[Thunder Muscle]

That certainly makes sense and think it’s a good policy overall. Eliminates the people just buying dirt cheap tickets to pounce on the giveaways.

Giveaways don’t make or break things for me, but not much is grabbing at me this year to be honest.

MCotR Giveway Rankings:
1. Giannis Nesting Doll
2. Dame Timepiece
3. Dame Bobble heard
4. 55-Piece Puzzle
5-34. Games with no giveways where you dont have to take home the junk and never throw it away so it clutters your whole house for years.
35-40. Too lazy to assign

I'm not a huge fan of the players hats taking up 3 of the 11 spots. Maybe the Midds one is wearable. I wonder what the price difference between a hat and bobble head. Do Brothers Bobblehead set where you have 4 from 4 different games where if you collect them all they make a complete (non-jrue) Holiday set (then allow people to buy one for $25 at the pro-shop) is a no brainer.

Also surprised they don't have earlier games, especially when they are pushing food. Make the Tuesday games kid night, start the game at 6, 615, 630. Have $1 kid hot dogs and dollar kid sodas, and a ton of kid stuff from 5-630, parents go straight from school to the game and get themselves some overpriced and overrate Chick-a-filet (because "OMG there is a CAF INSIDE the arena guys!"). Downtown people can go straight from the office without the weird gap, WFH people can set a 'meeting' at 430. Everyone is home by 9-930 on a Tuesday night.

I should be in Marketing.

Everything looks like cheap junk even more than usual. I'm having flashbacks to the early 80s when one of the giveaways for a few years was a jacket. I think it was marketed as a light windbreaker type deal but it was made of some kind of polymer rendering it only useful to wear as a raincoat. And it ripped really easily.

[soxperry]

yo, someone mentioned that Street Life was coming back.. anyone know if this is true? i took it at face value and got excited.. then realized it may have been a joke.

[crkone]

Street life would have to be in their 60s and 70s

That makes them in their prime and they can start Bustin Loose while doing a Smooth rendition of Fly Away in a Brick House. Celebration time!

I'm not sure if they are coming back to the Bucks, but Warren Wiegratz did do the Star Spangled Banner at a Brewers game we went to last month so he is still in the area and performing it would seem. It was the first I heard his name in years. It would be cool to bring them back for old times sake, even if limited. I always kind of liked the house band before the game vs. in-game host doing video-tron trivia with fans.

[MickeyDavis]

Wiegratz is a great saxophonist. But he almost always played keyboard at Bucks games. They were a talented bunch but not suited for Bucks games.

I heavily disagree. It was very unique and i think thats whats lacking at the current Fiserv experience. Its very generic these days.
