Select Option For 2020-21 Season
As you are aware, the 2020-21 NBA regular season will begin on December 22. We recently shared with you that we will start the season at Fiserv Forum without fans. However, when we are able to safely welcome fans back into the building, you will receive a quarter of all games available for fan attendance. Listed below are more details related to your quarter season plan and options for managing the money on your account that will not be applied to your quarter season.

To simplify this process as much as possible, we have made a few assumptions that could change over time. Please keep this in mind as you read the information below. We hope that your quarter season membership plan will consist of up to 6 regular season games. Once we have a schedule that is approved for fan attendance, we will provide you with the opportunity to select your quarter plan seating location. As you review the pricing information below, please note that the pricing included in this email is reflective of 6 games and a seating zone comparable to your season membership location.

Effective immediately, monthly membership charges for the 2020-21 season will be paused indefinitely. Listed below is an outline of the options you have available to manage the remaining money on your account. Should you have any questions, concerns or need to discuss alternative arrangements, please reach out to your rep.

Option 1 – Quarter season membership plan and rollover remaining credit to the 2021-22 season

By rolling over your remaining credit to the 2021-22 season, you will be securing the following benefits:
• Flat pricing for the 2021-22 season
• Your seating location locked in for the 2021-22 season
• Best pricing for 2021 playoffs quarter strip plan
• Your payment plan for the 2021-22 season will start on March 15, 2021
For example: Assume your total full season ticket package cost for the 2021-22 season is $20,000. Your quarter season membership plan cost is $5,000. You then have $15,000 left on account. That $15,000 would be rolled over and applied to your 2021-22 season membership.
Please note: No immediate action is necessary for Option 1.
Option 2 – Quarter season membership plan and keep 25% down for the 2021-22 season. Your remaining credit will then be refunded to the credit card on account. Please allow approximately 30 days for your refund to appear on your credit card statement.
For example: Assume your total full season ticket package cost for the 2021-22 season is $20,000. Your quarter season membership plan cost is $5,000. You then have $15,000 left on account. You would receive a refund of $10,000. $5,000 (25% of total full season investment) would be rolled over to the 2021-22 season. *Please note that refunds are only available from money you directly paid the Bucks, not credit added by the Bucks for unplayed games during the 2019-20 season.
By electing to keep 25% down for the 2021-22 season, you will be securing the following benefits:
• Flat pricing for the 2021-22 season
• Your seating location locked in for the 2021-22 season
• Best pricing for the 2021 playoffs quarter plan
• Your payment plan for the 2021-22 season will start on March 15, 2021

Please note: For option 2, please click on the button below to move forward with keeping the 25% down for the 2021-22 season and electing a refund for the remaining credit. Please submit your request by December 18, 2020. If you do not complete the form, we will automatically enroll you in Option 1 (rollover remaining credit to the 2021-22 season).

So you pre-paid for this year so we will let you have 6 games and automatically re-enroll you for next year!!

No mention of playoff tickets outside the context of you locking in the following year. Nor allowing you to roll current money paid into playoff tickets. I think a lot of it is a mute point since I doubt we will be in the stands by 2/16, which would be the start of the 24 game home season

Did they ever reimburse you for the loyalty program **** from last year like they said? O never saw anything but assumed it was because I didn't renew.

This franchise is dead once Giannis leaves. It saddens me as I always loved being a STH but the past year plus has left me almost bitter towards the whole team. Clearly covid didn't change anything if some of you are dumping tickets yet.

Not sure what you mean by loyalty program? I think I missed they benefit choosing timeframe two years in a row where they give you two weeks in January to choose between and lanyard and a DJ Wilson signed photo.

As for holding the money, they originally said they would apply a 10% credit for food sales if you didn't pull back your money? Assuming that isn't happening.

When is Phase II of the Deer District scheduled to break ground?

Yeah, loyalty program is where they gave you points based on years, dollars spent, etc. They were going to credit the people that had unused concession money or other benefits that couldn't be used.

Also recall the 10% bonus if renewed. Maybe you'll get that when arena opens up.

Yeah, I haven't heard anything.
Did see this in the FAQs:

Q: What kind of playoff priority will I have?
A: As a full season member, you will be guaranteed the option to purchase a quarter playoff plan strip,
which means a quarter of the possible home games during the playoffs.

So as a season ticket holder who let the Bucks hold onto my money for a year in a pandemic, I'm not guaranteed a finals home game and mostly likely only one of a finals game and an ECF game?

Yeah, sorry this decision isn't in my hands. (AKA I will wait until next summer to decide if I'm reupping)

I keep looking for that option 3, which I think should say:

"Option 3 - We will hold 90% of the cost of 6 regular season games worth of tickets (recall that we said you would get a 10% credit for continuing to make monthly payments all summer and leaving your money on account with the Bucks.) We will refund everything else in your account, and you can pay us in March 2021 if you want to attend 25% of home playoff games. And you can also decide then if you want to renew for 2021-22."

This just feels like such a crap shoot... I think id rather just hang out in the deer district this time around.

Putting this story in this thread, and hoping we never have to consider this scenario in Milwaukee

Cal Supreme Court holds that Warriors must pay remaining lease debt from when they left Oracle. About $50 million.

Sounds like they’re losing money, with the new Covid strain hitting US shores and the vaccine supply chain cluster **** good luck.

Not saying this in a vacuum is a good idea, but considering I can watch Bucks game for hours maskless in a bar a hundred feet away, it is weird this isn't considered an option. Would feel 100x safer in the arena than any bar on Water considering masks would be more enforced in common areas.

Thought they would wait until at least mid-March. It's only been about a month (and despite the crappy roll-out), we are at ~8% with one shot. Hopefully we are at like 40% by the time the 2nd half schedule is here. That would include the most at-risk and a lot of high spreaders (healthcare, teachers, essential workers).

I’m with you, I’m ready for this **** to be over with.

Keep in mind our last 3 home games are Pelicans, Clippers, Denver. Those would be hot ticket items. Again, compared to what else is allowed, this seems low risk. Not a good idea, but not Stadium View during a Packers game level bad idea.

ETA: sorry for quoting you twice. Lots of excited thoughts going through my head

[MickeyDavis]

I would think demand would be high. For kicks I've been looking at 3rd party ticket prices for NBA teams that allow some fans and they've been very low. $10 will get you in to see Pelicans/Suns tomorrow night.

[crkone]

Finally got an email at work to expect a vaccination scheduling email at some point the in near future. It'd be nice to see a Bucks game in person even if they want me to wear a biohazard suit.

I'm kind of surprised by that. Like I understand we are in a global pandemic that has killed 1/2 million Americans, but I also see people every day at work and out & about giving two **** about any COVID rules. Like today I went to the cafeteria and sat in an 'allowed spot', my coworker who is higher up and in a semi-risk management roll moves a chair and sits right next to me where there is a giant X on the table which is on the same floor where our risk management team is located. Like people are just reeling to get back to normal and go to something like a sporting event. I would be shocked if after market (if possible to resell) is less than $100 for Zion.

[MickeyDavis]

Yeah I was surprised too. Just checked that Pelicans/Suns game again. $26 gets you an upper. They are in pods if 2/4/6.

It will be interesting to see how many Bucks tix are uppers and what they'll be charging.

[DMBucks22]

Any season ticket holders get any new info on being let back in yet? I have heard nothing!
