I realized last night at the game that the Beer Button feature is gone! I have been at both home games so far and did not need another beer for the home opener but last night I went to order one and it's gone! Sad! Hopefully the bring it back this year at some point.

Thanks for the heads up. It looked pretty useless to me. The location is stupid and food and beverage isn’t included.

I noticed this too. Very sad! I really enjoyed this feature

It was very convenient. Weird because they really pimped that last year.

Ugh, I selected this through benefits for Warriors game. Figured it was gonna be lame. One of my favorite perks was the Potawotami Club passes that was all inclusive area at the BC and was hoping it would be similar.

One of my employees went to his first game at the Fiserv last night. $26 for 4th row center court upstairs. Through the Bucks. It appears as though there are some pretty great deals available.

What i had in my head was: opening night, take the wife, get there early, be able to sit down in a nice atmosphere and order a good cocktail and have some decent food that isn't nachos.

What it was: an attempt at creating an upscale atmosphere but comes off pretty tacky, a bar that looks nice but doesn't really offer anything special (beers, hard seltzers, jack and coke/vodka press kind of mixed drinks), and a selection of food that is hardly better than anything else in the stadium. Had the Ardent Burger with tots. It was okay, the tots were dry and hard and loaded with salt. There WAS however a very nice display of desserts that actually looked pretty damn good. So if you want a $14 slice of cake, that's all you. Compared to the rest of the common areas, it's much less traversed and as a result more relaxing, and it has a railing that looks out over the main entrance.. so you can stand up there and look down on all the common folk as they enter.

Fortunately, i spent the bulk of my other points on pro shop credits so i can give my wife some Bucks gear.. Except wait, you can't use it on Nike apparel.. a quick scan of the pro shop reveals that basically everything that's worth buying is of course Nike.

These are trivial things to complain about, of course, because of the "face value" playoff strips. But it would be really nice if there was less bull and more substance when it comes to Fiserv.

Of course they would exclude Nike. I wonder if they had that in fine print upfront?

They really, really, really need to stop screaming out "more t-shirts from Gruber Law Offices" after EVERY three-pointer. It's just the worst.

The Bucks continue to dick around season ticket holders with these benefits. :curse:

My renewal of Bucks playoff tickets will hinge solely on how they handle playoffs again this year. If it is the same as last year, I will re-up. If not, I probably will let my tickets go. (Both from a value and cash flow perspective).

Because i purchased season tickets as the playoffs approached last year (for this year), i was only able to buy one set of strips (one seat for each season seat). This was of course after they told me i would be able to buy an additional set of strips at a slightly higher rate (but still below public onsale pricing), and it was also after I actually made the purchase over the phone for the second set of strips.. only later did i get a call back, after I had already informed multiple friends that "I had them covered" for the playoffs, and was told that they had to cancel that second set.

I tried using the public onsale to buy uppers for all the games so i could re sell and make some of the money back for the strips, but it turned into a magnificent disaster. No one wanted to pay even face value for many of the games, and for one game the tickets just straight up didn't sell even at $30 below face. After seeing that, I don't know if i'll buy an extra set of strips this time around even at a reduced cost compared to public.

Did you guys do okay re-selling your extra tickets in the playoffs?

I did but I'm guessing I was able to purchase them at a much lower price than you did.

For my seats (section 225) the first 3 rounds cost something like $24/$33/$46 per ticket. I was also able to buy strips for the 2 seats next to mine through the "extra" STH on-sale and I think those cost a little more (something like $30/$40/$60), but still pretty cheap all things considered and made it easy to clean up when it came to selling the extras.

Based on how they did the single game STH presale this season (no discount for STHs), there's no way they are going to let us buy playoff tickets that cheap again. They learned their lesson and will take that profit themselves. I'm guessing even the tickets for our season seats will cost significantly more for the playoffs compared to last year.

It was so amazing. Unlike 2006-07 they all seemed to be having a great time. Including Maynard. 10/10 would recommend.

Same here. Did well but the STH discount is going to be gone for sure. I dont think I will buy extra strips this year. I have a feeling casuals are going to save their cash and not over spend until the later rounds if they make it, which makes the probability to lose $ early higher. Even last year the 1st round games were super cheap within days of the games.

My first Tool concert too. I was supposed to see them in Madison 13 years ago, but Maynard was sick and the show was cancelled.

Unbelievable show.

Sound and visually amazing.
