They always are. It sucks that 90% of Suns fans are 75+ years old. Season ticket holders I mean.. I don't even think It'll be loud with a Lebron type player here.

What do you expect when there are empty seats all over the place and every single good one is snagged by businesses? $arver is responsible for the Suns having the worst home atmosphere in the NBA.

Tickets should be 50 dollars at most lower level. Upper level should be free.

Wait did he actually price out the fans? I know we had a pretty good sell out streak end during the Nash years, I just assumed attendance was down cause we were running the treadmill. Do you have any evidence of fans being priced out? Not trying to be a jerk just curious about this subject

Hell yes he priced out the fans. There are 4 teams with higher ticket prices: Cleveland (LeBron, Kyrie, Love) New York (massive market) Chicago (massive market, marketable superstar, good team) and the Lakers (Kobe, massive market)

If you want season tickets for the worst seats in the lower level it is going to be around $3500 per seat for the season. The good seats are insane. Single game ticket prices for the lower level are an absolute joke. It is going to be at least $200 a seat if you want something decent.

Prices were just as bad last year too, when we were expected to be terrible. Sarver is a total idiot and honestly a while he is a good banker he is a crappy businessman

It is also worth noting that our average ticket price is the 5th highest when all of the most expensive seats (flex print club) are not even for sale because they are sold to businesses instead of individual people. If the Suns told those tickets too we would have the highest ticket prices in the league

Sarver needs to buy 100 season tix and give them to the craziest Suns fans that enter a contest or raffle for free season tickets. That has proven to be very successful for teams that have implemented that. Boosts the home crowd atmosphere tremendously

You lose in historically embarrassing fashion and instead of getting angry at yourself and trying to spark change with the team, you comment on how bad the home crowd was?

This team is truly lost.

Place is always dead!! Even during the OKC game. Suns fans should have been up and loud the entire game. Coro called them out on Suns pregame today and Leander and Chambers didn't want to comment on it. Markieff ain't scared of nothing. I like it.

BLAME MANAGEMENT FOR THE FANS!!

Maybe, just maybe there are thousands of people out there that would show up and make some noise if they didn't have to pay over $200 bucks to do it from non **** seats

Sarver tackles the big issues, refunding pre-season games, not 30 point losses.

Yeah it seems like some suns fans are being priced out by fans of other teams too. Too many transplants in Phoenix. For a lot of those people it may be their only chance tosee their team in person so they are willing to spend a little more. That and every suns game I've gone too it is a BUNCH of casual fans. I think there are a lot of young suns fans too though that grew up on Nash that can't yet afford tickets, myself included. I really do think the fan base is growing and that we have a pretty solid fan base, it just doesn't show up in the attendance area for some reason and I think that's probably because of price

Yup, exactly. Whenever we play a big name opponent our arena is filled with their fans because they are willing to drop several hundred dollars once or twice a year. Suns fans aren't going to drop that money 41 times a year.

It wasn't even a refund. It was a $25 or $50 coupon for future tickets or food/merch. :nonono:

I watched Bad Boys 30 for 30 last week. I recommend it, but the stark contrast in attitude between those guys and the current Suns might make you cry a little.
