Did you ever get an answer to this? I would assume you could transfer the passes. I cant imagine anybody would buy them otherwise.

Did anybody go to the Blackhawks/Wild game? Looked like it was a good turnout with a decent atmosphere. Wonder if it creates any momentum for NHL team ti come here. If its going to happen would think it would be sooner than later since arena is still new.

I just dont know if the Bucks and/or Blackhawks would want it to happen. Id think a NHL team would steal a piece of the Bucks pie and honestly over time I could see NHL becoming more popular than NBA in Wisconsin.

Bucks would fight an NHL team coming here big time unless our owners were the ones buying the NHL team. Chicago would squak as they did when Pettit was contemplating bringing a team here. It's about 100 miles from Fiserv to the United Center. They can get ****.

Pettit could have easily brought a team here, it's why he built the BC. He had opportunities for an expansion franchise and to buy an existing team. But every economic study he did said this market couldn't sustain an NBA team and an NHL team and he never went through with it. But that was 30 years ago.

so um...the ticket exchange is open. has been since at least Tuesday. would have let you guys know but i assumed the email was coming later on Tuesday as i just happened to check on it.

doesnt seem to matter much, though. the way they are pricing things i think we are all taking a bath on these this season. only a deep deep run can save us

Bucks/NBA did a great job rolling out the League Pass benefit. It was something relevant to core NBA fans and they sent out an email this morning before the game with very clear and easy instructions to enroll. Kudos.

Yeah, Ive returned a couple early games at 33% loss but i know there is minimal chance I get what theyre offering. My issue is there isnt much a deal to use the ticket credit money. Any games worth a **** are priced real high. My sales have been slow. Maybe sold 10-15% of my games.

Agreed. At least its a benefit i may use and its the $130 premium version too. The ticket exchange rollout hasnt been awful either. Plenty of time before the season. Its just a matter of how many games i can use vs eating now, haha.

I went to the game. It was pretty close to a sellout, if not a sellout. The atmosphere was fun, there was a lot of engaged fans cheering for both teams in the area that we were sitting. NHL hockey is just such a different speed of play than the Admirals, I really wish we could get a team. I personally think we could support a team better than a few of the NHL markets.

The concession stands were a complete disaster though. I missed the last 15 minutes of the first period trying to get a burger and fries. The app said it was less than a five minute wait so I walked over to get it and just stood there for 20 minutes. Then you still had to wait in line to checkout once it was done and in the cubby even though it was paid for. I can't believe how bad it is for a state of the art arena. The people next to us went to get pizza in the second period and the same thing happened to them, the guy that went missed 10-15 minutes of play.

I would personally love to see an NHL team here. I've been to some games in Nashville and Vegas. A lot of fun.

If you're going to eat at Fiserv (not recommended unless you have no other options) you definitely want to eat before the game. It's a **** show.

ETA: An NHL team here would definitely cut into how many Bucks games I go to

It was a sellout though not all the seats were filled. I think a lot of that is because people saw what prices were going for on the secondary market early and were trying to make a nice profit on it. My seats were $25, 2nd row in the upper level just off of center ice. Checked the secondary market a day before the game and people were trying to sell seats in my general area for $150. Second level behind the nets people were trying to get $100. Nobody's paying that for a preseason game.

Atmosphere was great in the beginning and slowly started to die down when the Blackhawks fans came to the realization that it was a struggle for them to even connect on a pass using their A team against Minnesota's B team.

Loyalty Rewards dropped just now and many things are already selling out or close to it. I rushed myself into the fan giveaway one as at least I will get something i guess. I liked meeting Jennings with my son last year but they drop the date like with 24-48 hour notice and we were lucky we got in line early, so didnt want to risk half my points on something i may not be able to attend…

Overall I thought the offerings were pretty good but it's like they think STHs don't have jobs. "oh we just dropped your season ticket benefits. You got five minutes. Good luck" in the middle of a work day. Same goes for the meet and greets. We wait two months and suddenly you have to be somewhere at 530 on this Tuesday.

Did the same as you and got the guaranteed giveaway since i didn't have to be flexible. The other one that grinds my gears is that you need to use points to get 15% off the pro shop. Like that should be an automatic benefit both from the fan perspective and that they still make a ton of money off it anyways.

100% agree on the 15% off. So ridiculous that they don't just give that to us.

I went for the meet & greet and then a Bucks signed item. Hope one of the meet & greets is Holiday/Khris and hope the other signed item is Bobby/Holiday/Khris.

100% agree on the Pro Shop discount. I took giveaways, $25 credit, and blanket. I usually would take the 15% but some years i didnt buy much so thought $25 was better.

Meet and Greet i think is usually an ex-player. Last year it was Jennings and Dandridge, both within a week of each other in March. I couldnt risk the extreme short notice again. April 7th is Ray Allen Bobblehead night so maybe it will be him this year. That would be a pretty epic one.

I just hope the giveaway one isnt you have to get it at last game or you're out of luck. Last home game is Easter weekend so who knows what my plan will be. Thought i saw it will be distributed last game of year.

The Jennings one last year was a great time, he's a good dude.

They had a meet & greet for a legend and then another meet & greet for current players just FYI.

Gold Rush Chicken was replaced with The Cluckery at Fiserv Forum

FIgured it happened eventually, and Cluckery is good, but Gold Rush was better


Beer situation is terrible if you don't like Bud like me.

16 oz Spotted Cow was $16.98

Enough to get me to stop drinking at Bucks games

Yeah you have to draw the line somewhere. Do I have $17 for a beer? Sure. Will I give that to the Bucks for a beer? Rarely. I eat and drink before/after the game. I don't drink much anyway. If I have to go straight to the game from work or somewhere else I may have a beer or 2 at FiServ and something to eat but I try to avoid that if I can.

I’ve pretty much quit drinking at Bucks games. Sure I could afford it but seems like highway robbery to me. Better to just have a couple at bar or restaurant before.

It really irks me because the arena was paid with public funds and gifted money. Seems wrong.

I really downsized my tickets this year and a big reason was I used to buy extra tickets to bring friends. Now I'm a single next to guys I know. It just got really expensive where I would bring someone and it would be the only time they go to a game all year so they would buy the first round and I would do the second. Well going to 30 games, that's an extra grand or two. I don't need a beer and trying to get healthier so it got to the point where I would rather just go to the game myself.

The craft beer offerings are pretty bleak. Lots of hazy / juicy / fruity so-called IPAs. A true IPA is hard to find, and then it is a more bland variety. Ginger Ale is not an ale, just like Hazy IPA is not an IPA.

Nothing in the brown porter stout category. Redundant wheat fruit light types step all over the hazy juicy types. Underscores how bad the In-Bev beer lineup is and how little thought Levy puts into their overall offering. I understand why they avoid higher alcohol items, but there is no reason to avoid stronger tasting varieties. Instead, they focus on mild to weak varieties .
