You guys pay under face value, correct? When I had ST my center court seats were $90 something and I paid $10 less. Yup it's been about 15 years haha. And what do points get you? In my day we got a concession card. Pretty simple.

It's less than face. I don't think it's the 11% you're describing though. More like 5%. Since I'm not in charge of buying for our group, I'm not certain.

I think it is impossible to tell due to their variable pricing. I feel they kept the past face value for all games as the low end for single game tickets. Difference is now they raise the price on premium games. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but hard to compare to past prices where it was $90 for the lakers on a saturday night and $90 for Indiana on a Tuesday in January.

My tickets are in the corner (pretty bad seats), went up from $2,122 to $2,544 (20%) for a pair, $26 to $31 a game per ticket. Not horrible but I'm tentative on signing up early if we lose Brogdon and Lopez next year, no new stadium allure, etc. I feel the only risk is you lose 1,000 bonus points (a $25 gift card essentially) and there's a small chance they sell out if we win a championship.

I did sign up early (January second or so) and I never received 1000 points. rep never even mentioned that as a bonus. however, my ticket increase is a much smaller % increase. from $110 to $116 per ticket. I was told that the % increase would likely double if I didn't sign on before the first week of January ended. I think most games (weekends for sure) are selling out now. SRO tickets are becoming common. secondary ticket prices have jumped about 50% since Christmas. we are in unprecedented territory as bucks season ticket holders....

I don’t believe there are any restrictions. I’ve parked there for every game I’ve been to this year except on Monday against the Mavs. It was full about 45-55 minutes before the game started, I was kinda surprised.

Thanks. I was pretty sure there weren't restrictions, but something was nagging at me about it. Appreciate the response.

I'm really torn with my tickets. I'm worried I might be sitting on a gold mine that I'll regret giving up if I don't renew.

Thanks for the 0 points poster benefit heads up a few pages ago. I got the one called "Building Blocks." It's actually pretty cool and suitable for framing. It has important Bucks players & personnel names contained in it. And also Mike Fascitelli.

[THE DINJ]

Also haven't heard anything about this 1000 pt bonus.

You get 1000 bonus points for next year if you renew before feb 1

I went to get mine and they gave me the season ticket holder one...again... I have 3 now.

I agree. They used to put the face value on the pdf ticket, but now nothing. The digital ticket posts the season ticket price in the fine print.

I felt like last year the ticket prices were essentially priced at the least valuable ticket price range for all games. So there are some games they were the same as face but just those cold and/or early week night games vs a ho-hum opponent.

Sorry, should have been more clear: We HAVE renewed and we have NOT gotten a bonus 1000 points.

Yeah I would call the rep. They are focused on those that haven't renewed right now. I'm sure they will throw it in since it's posted on the website. The wording from my email is below if you want it for reference/leverage. You shouldn't get screwed for committing early, especially when we are talking about such low redemption values. How did you even sign up early? This was the first I was contacted and never got an early option. If you increase was less than 10%, it is better than the bonus anyways.

I probably would've signed the dotted line if ticket prices were comparable to last year, instead of an ad spouting questioning "loyalty in my DNA" while raising ticket prices 20% (after a similar increase the previous year) when I have been a fan for 30 years and this is only the second time I can even dream of a championship.

Sounds like the bonus points will be added to next season’s points so I wouldn’t expect to see them until the start of next season.

FWIW, my upper level seats shockingly went down about a buck per ticket. I figured maybe they re-configured the different price levels and my seats are now part of a cheaper tier. Either way it was an unexpected surprise.

Were you in the more expensive side court seats? I wonder what the cheapest tickets are in the stadium. I’m the slight corner at it was the difference between 18->25 compared to if I sat two sections over in the end zone. I think they overestimated the more expensive non-corporate seats. I think a lot of people like me just wanted to get in the arena and don’t want to/can’t afford the increases for better views.

I guess overall I can't complain about my cost vs benefit this year b/c the re-sell was good. This is kind of how mine broke down and my assessment for anybody thinking about jumping on board.

Total Cost: $1542 ($18/ticket for regular season; $12/ticket for preseason); increases to $1696 in 19-20.
Location: Upper level, baseline, 2nd row
Non-Cost Benefits: Private construction tour of new arena in June, Private invitation to open house with free drinks/food at new arena in August, season ticket holder poster/print (ended up with 3 total), 850 loyalty points, which got me a $25 Pro Shop gift card and a lanyard.
Other: Also had the ability to use the fluid ticketing system (i.e. return tickets for credit for other games) and playoff priority on my seats.

On average I was able to get $25/ticket on re-sale which includes games I took a hit on and the cash cows. I had to sell a little more this year b/c we had a newborn. And if I didn't sell many early I probably could have gotten more as prices for games rest of the season are pretty high. But with years of low demand, I'm wired to sell fast if I can.

Pros of this year: Re-sell was easiest it has been in my 10 years as a season ticket holder; fluid ticketing was a nice option as I banked many games to upgrade into the lower level; I'll get playoff tickets at face value; app was easy to house benefits, upgrades, and tickets (imo). Overall kind of liked digital ticketing other than selling to non-tech friends/people. Prices are very fair for seat location. Enjoyed the open house before general public.

Cons: Liked my BC seat better (e.g. miss being by exits and not having 15-20 steep stairs to go down); fluid ticketing often offered under paid value of tickets and had to buy at face value for lower demand games; shady stipulation/scare tactics (i.e. restricted re-sale);took away pro shop discount (although we have kids so get 10% by signing up for Bango Kids Club). Really limited buying extra tickets at season price. No idea what face value of my tickets are.

The product is good on the floor and my cost/benefit was very good, so I renewed. I'm annoyed by some of the cons but I kind of knew that would happen so trying to take it in stride. If they ban re-sell or something extreme, then I'll lose it, haha.
