have you ever seen a ticket price scheme like this?

Wow, what a brilliant idea. Everybody wins. Theoretically, the higher the pick they get, the more valuable the player, instead of paying more they actually pay less.

i don't think that the timberwolves think they're getting the first pick, considering that they already know stern will fix it for the knicks. still this is a bargain if they get the 5th pick.

Thats insane, crap seats or not, season tickets for $1 a game is worth it. Heck, even $5 a game would be worth it. Even if you only went to like 10 games.

And as bad as the Wolves might be, you could still set up your schedule to see all the top teams play the Wolves...and that alone would be worth it.

of course. let alone watching the pups (hopefully) getting better plus whoever we're going to pick

derrick rose

Two things:
1. If they get Rose or Beasley they better not trade him for some player picked later.
2. If they get Rose they need to trade some of their guards. This team has way too many scoring guards; Jaric, Telfair, McCants, Foye, Green.

Also, which green was it? true green on the sides or ugly green in the endzones?
If its the first one, it would be amazing

It's the nose bleed endzone seats

... and if you get the 6th pick & beyond, do you pay market value? It only states from picks 1-5.

Think of all the $43 non-refundable deposits if this is indeed true. Sounds like there's a hitch behind this.

you realize that the lakers will be only there for 2 games, lebron for 1 and so so on?

damn it. I wish I were an US citizen living in minneapolis. this is a helluva deal.

oh and for the ones that said it's still the timberwolves you're watching, we had a few horrible games but the majority of our games we're quite fun to watch even if we lost them

I'm pretty sure a PR card would suffice. :wink:

Great deal but as mentioned, why make it cheaper the higher the pick gets? They should've found a way to invert it based on the pick they could get. I suppose if you have to sell nosebleeds, though...

Also, it's not necessarily worth it to be sitting in any seat at any game. I've sat in seats so bad ($32 ones at that... wow, that sucked) I needed binoculars to tell who was who and the arena provided TVs with the game on them. It was like watching the game at home but it took longer to get there and it was cold.

It seems like right now is a great time to buy season tickets. The Wizards sold me a package for next year in section 104 for 30 dollars a seat for 43 games. Face on those tickets is 85.

43 dollars = a dollar a game does not work out numbskulls. 41 home games. 43 dollars. doesn't add up.

i think if they get the 1st pick itll be 84 dollars. 2nd pick 125 dollars and so on and so forth. just what im seeing tho. still a great deal.

Season tickets include preseason games. So it does work out. it's clearly explained on the site even.
