Nothin' like a mass hand out "annual gift" to make a season ticket holder (I apologize, I mean member) feel special. Just remember to pre-load your special member annual gift QR code because there are so many of you to keep track of. And don't even try to get past the usher guarding the second level without your season ticket on your phone, because without it you will be denied entry.

It is nice that they make those gifts available for pick-up through January 1.

Since the annual gift is sponsored by Ticketmaster, I'll bet the TM logo will look really sharp on that YETI!

I am so excited for my yeti! (sarcasm)

Tough crowd. I actually think they have done a lot better job this year with communication and planning. They sent out the STH event earlier (I get it, they effed up the food) than other events and I don't think they had the equivalent last year? They also are giving you 2.5 months to pick up the gift instead of "Pick it up Tuesday before the 1st quarter". LP is another great benefit that makes sense.

Maybe, just maybe....they will tell us what the deal is for playoff tickets prior to making us pay for 2024 tickets. That is always my biggest frustration is the playoff tickets are the main perk and you can't tell me pricing for games 2 months away but you can figure out pricing/expect me to pay for tickets 8 months down the line?

Honestly a Yeti, even if branded by a sponsor, is a better gift than I was expecting. I was figuring some random Bango bobblehead or lap blanket.

LP also agree just makes sense. I was not expecting it this year.

Honestly so far its been going well. As said the member tip-off had a few weeks notice, the gift is a 2 month window, etc. Hopefully the other events will have notice too.

I agree the YETI sounds nice. And months to pick it up is very reasonable. I would not want to play Solomon and decide who gets the YETI in a group of 4-8 guys that share a block of tickets.

In my mind, nothing cheapens a give-away more than a sponsor logo. Years ago they gave away a leather soft business carry bag. Black leather with an embroidered Bucks Logo in the "Light It Up" purple of the day, quality construction, heavy duty metal zippers and clasps. Would probably retail for about $150 today. No sponsor logo. Classy.

I also like offering a standard perks package by tier, rather than the cafeteria array of perks that could be purchased for points in past seasons.

I didn't make the drive to attend the tip-off event, but the food hassles sounds like vintage Bucks. They always seem to have a Keystone Kops vibe surrounding the first several times they undertake a new project. One exception was the playoff DD watch parties, which seemed to be pretty organized, which makes sense given the combination of large crowds and alcohol involved.

Bottom line though - nobody buys a block of tickets for bling. The product is the 41+ games. Hope there is a lot to cheer about.

Sounds tasty.

Has anybody gotten seats in the Tower Club? I'm thinking about trying that this year. Thanks!!

Can confirm that the Monster Mash is indeed tasty.

The Yeti rambler is actually nice and does not have a sponsor on it. Something I will definitely use.

STH: I don’t recall getting an email, but the Holiday Photo and Movie Night is November 17th. I just happened to check my benefits on the app and saw it. It was almost at the 5,000 rsvps and you’re allowed up to 3 guests which is nice for a family of 4. FYI none the less. It seems like a solid family event and the movie is RISE (giannis family movie).

No email for me either but i see it as well in my account. It won't let me add anymore QTY than 1 right now. But i think its showing 4970 spots still available not 30 left.

I also noticed my "benefits" changed from "sixth man" to "starter" I thought it should have been starter the whole time so i think the bucks messed something up there (doesnt surprise me)

I could only do 1 too. I assume that means Im responding for myself and can come with 3 guests at the door. I should probably clarify that though before driving down, haha!

I would confirm with a rep on that for sure. I am going to do the same. It's good to get everything in writing with the Bucks staff so you have proof. Like the tip off party...the first email said you DID not need to RSVP then one that came later on in the week said you needed to. Lots of mixed signals

Anyone have an extra in season tourney shirt they are willing to get rid of? I can offer a Adrian Griffin hat for trade.

SRO - I'm honestly surprised they sell these. You have to be at 6 foot to even see the court if you get a good spot. Was upper deck half court behind the rope center court. Was somewhat visible until people showed up and sat in their seats. It would be one thing if it was crowded or limited, but you really can't see the under the best of circumstances. Makes more sense for brewers games where you have unregulated upper deck seating or large areas where you can get an unobstructed view, but the Fiserve just wasn't designed for it.

"You are guaranteed a Standing Room Only ticket and access into Fiserv Forum. If available inventory in the arena bowl is available, your seat location could potentially get moved to a seated ticket."
So far no seating assigned despite there being plenty of "Standard Tickets" available on Ticketmaster. I guess maybe Wednesday will be a good test, but it seems like they aren't bothering assigning seats.

I would definitely be interested in it if they weren't doing it at 7pm in a date when there is a 6pm Bucks road GAME. C'mon, Bucks. This is stupid.

I thought that was odd too. I would assume they will have the first half on the jumbotron and then throughout the concourses, but still.

The marketing department under LED is a joke compared to how it used to be. The attitude is we have a great team so we don't have to work very hard. And yes, tickets do sell themselves a lot easier with a contender. But they still do a lot of dumb ****. As a former season ticket holder I'm always on their target list. Many of the reps don't have a clue. They don't even know anything about the Bucks or basketball. They act like they're doing me a favor by calling/emailing me.

Here's one example of how they botched something. In 2017 they decided to play a game in the old arena. Against the Celtics. The site of lots of epic battles. The site of many great teams. I went and expected there would be some former Bucks players who played there. Maybe some former Celtics too. Nope. Not one. The only former Bucks player who was there was Michael Redd, who never played in the arena. But at least I thought they'd do something at halftime. Nope, they had some dumb ass painters. Totally botched.

Why anyone would want to just be "in the building" for all 41 games boggles my mind. I had SRO for Game 6 and even though I was standing behind some shorter folks on the half court rail couldn't see jack. Worth it to me for that once in a lifetime game but who's going mid week against a middling opponent, standing in line for the doors to open then running to get one of the few spots with an actual view of the court. Or if not that sitting at a table with no view of the court and paying crazy concession prices. Like you said AmFam is conducive to SRO, with plenty of places to stand with a pretty good view of the field. Fiserv SRO is a joke.

The painting was the worst halftime show I have ever seen.
