Fiserv Forum Thread - Full (Almost) Capacity Now

[HKPackFan]

Crowd was great, my daughter said, "I've never seen so many nipples at a bucks game." (we get the stadium cam during Timeouts)

Who knew ripping free tshirts and showing off your nipples would become a thing.

Well there is a part of me now that is bummed I don't have tickets anymore, haha. I think I'm going to skip the ECF and if make Finals mayne splurge for a game with some of my leftover $ from when I gave tickets up. But I'm suspecting get-in Finals prices are going to be around $400-500/ticket. Idk if I want to pay that if near top of arena. If in first 5 rows, I'd consider.

Lol, i hope it becomes a theme where every time out is just someone ripping off the cheap XXL tshirt they hand out. Better than going to waste in someones closest.

[Kerb Hohl]

At least it isn't Atlanta prices. Who knows if it'll hold, but they are 2-4x higher on average than current Fiserv tix for this series.

There are a LOT of non-assigned tickets. If you enter the lotter/pre-sale or whatever they do, you could get lucky. STH face lower bowl is just above $200. I highly don't they do single ticket sale of $400+.

I'll have to keep my eyes open for those emails. I do get the ticket released emails which come sometimes within 24-48 hours of tipoff. The issue is they release tickets through Ticketnaster and the fees are insane. A 200 level row 4 ticket was like $225/ticket through team (took off verified resell filter) after fees. I'd probably pay that for Finals (assume will be higher though.). 200 level baseline are priced at $185/ticket for game 2 ecf. Lower level corners were over 400 through team PRE fees. Baselines were either sold out or not released yet.

Has anybody bought new/renewed tickets for 2021-22? If so, what was your total cost? I gave up Section 216/Row 2 after it jumped from $1696 to $3116. I assume upper baseline is still priced around $3116? Any lower level baseline holders? Ideally I'd like 100 level but guessing it's around a 6K commitment at minimum.

Are there any re-sell restrictions? I know pre-Covid they slipped in a only can sell 30% of tickets stipulation. Albeit I don't think it was followed.

Checking here first before asking team as don't want a sales pitch.

I don't recall where I read it but I thought ticketmaster fees don't actually go 100% to ticketmaster, or somehow its a kickback to the team (i.e. how Nike pays the league for exclusive rights, then overcharges on apparel). So basically ticketmaster gets a cut but takes the animosity of the fans, and team can hide behind ticketmaster while taking a cut of that insane fee

Went to all the 19 Bos and Tor home games and our crowd was **** tonight. Lower bowl was half asleep most of the game.

Bucks chose not to bring the Fan Squad back when capacity went back to full, which is a difference between 2019 and 2021. The crowd gets fairly active for big moments, thankfully, but to have it be more constant, you need to insert that type of cheering section. Other teams have deemed it worthwhile to bring their fan sections back for the playoffs. Bucks haven't. I understand the short term gain of additional ticket revenue. However, other teams have decided this was a worthwhile revenue trade-off to try and improve their home court advantage at the margins. It's always interesting to see the amount of resources teams are willing to spend (or forgo) to gain even the slightest allowable edge.

That being said, I think the atmosphere of the crowd has been pretty fantastic this series. I was in lower bowl for Game 3, and upper bowl for 4 & 6.

Should try to get ahold of Giannis or Thanasis, they've both be super vocal about super fan sections in the past.

$130 in fees alone for G1 on Stubhub (2 tickets). Anyone know of cheaper alternatives or looking to move tickets?

Ticketmaster, StubHub, and Seat Geek all have fees. Best bet is maybe going to like a Facebook marketplace type site or if you have ties to a season holder. But obviously you need to be more aware of scams if not going through a broker.

[MickeyDavis]

Tick Pick’s thing is that they don’t have fees but of course they are factored into the pricing. They do seem to sometimes have lower prices than the others but not always. TM fees are a joke.

That would make sense as to why they now release all their tickets through Ticketmaster. I don't think any single seats are sold directly from Bucks anymore.

They definitely cranked up their pricing to the general public after 2019. Guessing they saw the re-sell market and decided they wanted in on that, lol.

[packer396]

Snagged a couple seats on the panorama rail for around 100/ea (incl. fees) - they were the same price as Standing Room Only. It is a bit strange that the Bucks don't release those seats until ~24 hours before tip.

Any suggestions on parking south of the arena? I haven't been to FF since they started setting up the screens etc... but figure its much more difficult with the deer district being packed

[soboMP3]

Going tonight for the first time since early April, and with the zoo downtown will be not sure I'll have time to eat anywhere. What is the concessions situation these days? Is everything open? I saw those pandemic-pickup boxes on the Fox6 broadcast last night so am curious if it is still that limited menu.

I always park on the street by Library Hill off James Lovell and Wisconsin Ave/Wells. It's free and a breezy 10 minute walk to the arena. Quick access to the freeway when the game is over. No brainer when the weather is nice.

I love the lot on SW corner of 6th and State but its up to $30-50 for busy games. But for going to I-43 North its the best.

Heat game parked in MacArthur Square indoor and was quick/cheaper but was 50% capacity. Generally I try to avoid structures.

Download the app and pre-order your drinks and food when possible and grab from the cubbies. Saves ten minutes in line.

Too many casuals at the game getting up every five minutes to get a beer and then coming back mid-game cause they were in line during time-outs.
