I don't think they'll fill the place. The largest crowd they've had for this event was the year after the ECF, they drew about 9K to the BC. Yeah the new arena will attract some but I can't see filling the place up.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Doubt it’s anywhere close to sold out considering they put tickets in every STH account whether or not those people will be going.

Can we watch this somewhere online? I'd even watch Henson highlights, I'm that desperate right now.

They might stream it on the Bucks website.

You’re good. The tickets get you in. The first come first serve mean you choose your seats

Yeah think I saw on STH have to claim by Friday so assume the unclaimed will go to general public/walkups.

Has anybody heard anything on STH exchange program?

I emailed my rep this morning asking him when we would receive the benefits info for this year. He told me over a month ago that they would be out soon. :roll: They must not be done stripping all the benefits!

Still tix available to the opener. Interesting. I think the fact that it's a "Marquee" game and therefore has jacked up prices has a lot to do with it. The cheapest lower bowl tix are $134 plus fees. Wait 3 days until game 2 vs. Knicks and those $134 tickets are $51.

I've never been to Milwaukee before but I'm hoping to fly up for a game at some point this season. I'd check myself, but Ticketmaster is blocked at work...do you know how much I should expect tickets to be for a random weekend game?

It depends on the opponent since they have different prices. I just checked the Saturday 10/27 game against a crappy team, Orlando, and the cheapest upper is $19 plus fees, cheapest lower is $53 plus fees. And always check stubhub. Right now SH prices are kind of high but it's all about the new arena, ticket holders are trying to gouge a bit. SH prices will come down. And of course it depends on wins/losses.

Tons of lowers available for opening night. A result of selling them at market price to begin with I guess.

They'll sell out, but there's only one first game in the new arena, I get it.

Ticketmaster fees seemed to skyrocket this year

$56 ticket ends up being $81

For another game, the $20 tickets are $39 once you check out. Nearly 100% ticket fee. Insane.

It's an absolute garbage tactic. Stuff like this will keep me away. Just advertise the damn price.

These ticket fees are insane. Imagine somebody just getting back into the Bucks because of Giannis or whatever and they go on to get a ticket and they see a $30 ticket or something and think wow, that's a good price and then they get to the checkout and they see it's actually going to cost them $55.

As a comparison Brewer playoff tickets have a fee of $6.

They said they can get paper tickets for people who don't have smart phones.

This is one reason I was never excited about the new stadium. Cupholders and a better food selection does nothing for me. Paying 50% more for games will negatively impact the number of games I go to. It was a necessary evil to keep the team in Milwaukee.
