If you mean the member ticket exchange, yeah, im very frustrated with that as well. These are the games we need to be returning. The option to return tix popped up but you still cant add tix. I emailed my rep and he said it isnt live yet and that they would return my tickets to me. I told him i would not prefer that since i feel like i got good value for them but he said they are doing it anyway and that it should go live in the next 24-48, or longer.

Fun.

Yes, exactly. I have a hard time believing its not rolled out by design as they know they will get alot of early game returns. I'm somewhat surprised even the weekend games aren't holding value.

Well, it's live. Sort of. The only inventory for most games seems to be the same $304 seats (each) in the lower bowl. Given that season tickets were said to be sold out, i'm wondering if the only seats that are eligible for member ticket swap is the ones that were reserved for season seats and someone just cancelled their plan. what a mess.

Noticed same thing. There is like no inventory to spend the credit on, haha. Sigh. And its weird b/c they're advertising $21 seat deals for tomorrow and have different promotions for other games so there has to be some blocks of tickets available. Weird deal. Mine wasn't working on app either, just the desktop account manager.

Oh man, anybody having buyer's remorse on season tickets? Haha! I'm really struggling to get anything close to paid value on these tickets. If they don't make Finals again I kind of wonder if alot of people dump tickets and just buy off secondary market. Hopefully if play picks up, interest will also pick up after new year.

Oh man, Bucks selling 2 tickets for $22 for some upcoming games...

Yikes. With inflation, that's cheaper than $10 Pepsi Bonus Month tickets back in ~2002.

$55 for the lower level package. That's a steal. I'd be all over that if I didn't have soccer.

Yeah I'm snapping up some tix. Even with the high fees there are bargains to be had.

Im playing with house money and was treated very fairly last playoffs so I have no issues being in red this season. If they make the finals (or even ECF), you won't regret your tickets.

However, I will make a business decision next year as I will be traveling more for work and harder to justify going to a game with a toddler at home when I'm not traveling.

Same here. I had quite a bit built up from previous years that my "Bucks Account" will be green into the playoffs. Next year is TBD though depending on how playoffs tickets go and just overall if I'm better off buying off secondary vs having tickets. Opening night paid off as my seats were going for 50-60% more than my price. I'm losing probably 30% though on some these early games I'm banking. We'll see.

Anybody pick up the Game 6 commemorative ticket yet? Worth it? I may try to go to Thunder or Magic game just to pick that up.

Haha, right?! Starting to see more and more people on ticket sites saying they aren't going to renew b/c there is little demand for tickets and many STH are taking it on the chin so far.

I am not a season ticket holder and looking at the resale market, things are really cheap. I'm looking at lower level behind bucks bench. I can get basically 2 tickets resale for almost less than the price of 1 ticket from bucks.com which is face value.

Has there been any update on the south side of the arena? I believe the north side is moving along with the Marriott and other office space? Unfortunately, I think Punch Bowl Social is coming back instead of something new.

Punch Bowl is planning to come back. There is a dispute about all of the fixtures and equipment inside.

I'm starting to migrate more to the west side the last few games. In the BC days, I'd always hit up like the Brathouse or Turners; then once Fiserv opened just been going to the Deer District. However lately been into MKE Brewing up around 8th and Highland, and now there is a Central Waters spot up there too I guess. I'm a big Central Waters guy and stop at their central WI location when I get that way.

Any season ticket holder have better luck with exchanging tickets and more options being available? I would hate to trade in my ticket value and not get to use it. I would rather go to the game at that point!

I just saw some stuff on twitter about the floor giveaway Saturday night. I swore I read on here that it was a "replica" floor rather than the actual thing. Can anyone offer any insight to this?

I've traded in quite a few games as I'm likely getting more value than what secondary market is commanding. But I'm still taking a 15-30% hit returning them depending on if weekend vs weekend night game.

I feel the selection has gotten much better since they first opened it the exchange up. The only downside is its dynamic pricing. So adding tickets for like Nets vs a game like the Pistons is gonna cost you much more.

Its still a good program. I got into lower level corner for under $100/ticket for an upcoming week night game, so thats cool....until they offer some promo haha.

I thought the same. Everything I'm seeing now is authentic. Good promo to have for a game vs Magic. I wish I would jumped on the guaranteed giveaway loyalty option in hindsight.
