It would be nice if you could order non-alcoholic drinks through the app. I don't drink alcohol, but I'd definitely enjoy ordering a soda without having to get up or wait for the right aisle guy to come through.

How does purchasing standing room tickets work? Are they only offered for sellouts?

Renewal prices coming out within next 3 weeks, will be interesting how much they increase with the winning.

Based on resell tickets, I'm thinking upper level seats are going to get the biggest % increase, unfortunately for me.

Are there even "aisle guys" anymore? I've been to four games and haven't seen a single one. I know they still do food/drink/anything service for the seats real close to the court but I haven't seen anyone else.

Same here. I've been to 4 games, lower bowl. Never saw an aisle vendor.

Same here. I think lower level will hold tight, but uppers may go up some. I for the most part could get face or better for my seats; I don't think that has been the case for the lower level holders.

Wondering if this is a good or bad idea. Should the Bucks play Dirk Nowitzki's draft video on the Fiserv Forum scoreboard (The one where he gets selected by the Bucks), as a commemorative tribute during his final visit to Milwaukee? I think it would be pretty hilarious. Also seems like a perfect time to do it given how well the Bucks are playing. I realize he was never gonna be a Buck, but it's still kind of a 'what if' moment in Bucks history, and it could kind of be a therapeutic session for Bucks fans where we can laugh and officially put that moment in history behind us.

Could also see it backfiring and could see some Bucks fans getting upset about it. They'd probably never do this, but what do you all think?

I had a good experience this year with season tickets.
Pros: Been able to resell at face (or above for marquee games), team has been great, friends are excited to come with to see the stadium for the first time.
Con: Zero benefits (besides a hat), Early games weren't reselling well when I was out of town, food prices higher.

The season tickets are barely worth the effort of finding people to go with on a random week night, reselling, or going to games I am not super excited about. I paid 2k for 2 tickets, will probably sell 10 games for close to $1,000 (Warriors (125/piece), Raptors ($100/piece) and other games ranging from 10-40). So I think I got good value on mediocre games 30 games/60 tickets for 1,000. Not bad at $15/piece but they are one of the worst seats in the stadium.

I think they may over correct the upper deck next year. The tickets have been really high on the resale due an unique combination of factors (new stadium, MVP candidate blossoming, and being the best team in the NBA). If they raise my tickets from $25 to $40 or something like that, I will probably pass. An injury to Giannis or come back to earth season where we are the 3rd seed, I will be stuck with a lot tickets begging people to come with me in January/February.

Agreed. I also sold most of my marquee/weekend games at a decent profit (and bought extras from the team to make a little more $) and just go to the weeknight games that wouldn’t sell for as much. Parking for those games tends to be cheaper too which is a bonus.

I could easily do the same thing without season tickets as those weeknight games will continue to be available at a discount next year, either from the Bucks via their 50% off/BOGO promos or from season ticketholders that renew and need to sell.

Without any ancillary benefits worth anything, any increase beyond a few dollars per seat will make the decision very easy. Being in the upper level I doubt we’d even have enough priority to get ASG tickets when it eventually comes here.

They caught lightning in a bottle this year with it being the first season in the arena and for a time having the best team in the league. Next season is a whole different story as the newness of the building is gone and there’s no guarantee how things will go on the court, so I’d hope they don’t get too greedy.

Man, I can't imagine they would jump more than 50%, which for me would be $18 to $27. They are playing with fire otherwise. I don't know what my breaking point is, but playoff priority is the only thing keeping me on at this point with diminished benefits. It would pain me to give up tickets, especially face value playoffs, after committing to season tickets the last 10 mediocre years.

I also wonder what face value on playoff tickets will be. Last year's tickets were reasonable and cheaper than the Marquee games this year. If they do more market based pricing for round two against either Boston or Philly, I don't think it's crazy for them to think they can get 3 figures for upper deck tickets.

I definitely think playoff tickets will be very high. And of course IF we actually win a series (knock on wood) they go up for each round.

I'm not complaining but goes back to my original point. If they are selling face at full market value, by definition you can get them at that price as part of the general public. Would take away a benefit of being a season ticket holder. It's a business and I understand it, but will be another con on signing up in January for another season.

Doesn't the NBA set the pricing for the playoffs? In previous years it usually was 1st round was the same or very similar as your regular season season ticket price and increased for each round. I felt by round mine was something along the lines of $17, $27, $47, $70 (Finals). At least with playoffs, re-sale is generally pretty easy other than maybe those Game 6's when they are facing elimination after a Game 5 loss. I'm guessing if they get to the ECF or Finals that cheapest secondary ticket are going to be in the $200-250 starting point. That may even be low.

It would be news to me and would be a huge benefit if that's the case. I remember last year they were running buy 2 playoff tickets for 30 bucks get the last game free specials to the general public.

Would be weird though where playoff games would be priced cheaper than Marquee regular season single game sales. What was the cheapest ticket for Marquee games? I remember seeing side upper deck for like 170 for some Friday Saturday games.

They seem to be pushing the dynamic pricing in the regular season and would think it would carry over to the playoffs.

I could be off on the NBA setting the price. I do recall those deals as well, so maybe it is team controlled. I wonder if they may offer reasonable 1st round pricing if you renew your seats for next year. It sounds like both playoff and renewal stuff is coming out mid-month (but we'll see).

I felt last year the Golden State game was like $89 face value (upper baseline, near bottom). This year the only price I saw on the digital tickets was the season ticket price. Kind of annoying. I have people alot of good deals on tickets and having that price makes it seems like I'm selling OVER face -- which I was not in many cases.

I left alot of money on the table by pricing my tickets to sell and likely lost a good amount in secondary fees, but I did well this year too. But man, if my seats go up to $25/ticket or higher it is going to be tough to stay on. Where I live it is not easy to sell locally due to it being a drive and don't like to gouge family/friends, so I rely on secondary sites and at that price point the buyer is going to be paying like $40/ticket just for me to get face back. And unless they win big in the playoffs, I think prices may regress a little with the building not being new anymore. You're still not going to get a ton for week night non-marquee matchup games. And as noted, benefits have decreased as a hook.

I just hope with the playoff tickets they don't put in any stupid stipulations like you can't sell or something. Playoffs are essentially the only reason I hang on at this point but I realistically would not be able to attend every game if they were to make it to the finals. That may be an extreme worry, but they did restrict re-sale on Warriors/Lakers if you wanted to buy extras (which I'm not convinced they truly released all of those tickets to us).

Where was any information on restricting resale for warriors/lakers? I sold my warriors tickets and plan on doing the same with the lakers
