Golden State Warriors to offer fans $100 seatless monthly passes

The team sent an email to its fans on Monday offering a monthly "In The Building Pass." The pass simply gets a fan into the team's Oracle Arena for every home game for $100 a month.

The mobile pass does not include a seat, and with no access to the seating bowl, doesn't even include a view of the court itself. The team says fans who purchase the pass will have access to the arena's bars and restaurants and can watch on the televisions in the club areas. Fans do have a chance to receive one of the Warriors giveaways if they are one of the first 10,000 people into the arena.

Fans can purchase up to four "In The Building" passes, although each one must be connected to a name, and they are non-transferable. Warriors spokesperson Lisa Goodwin said the team plans to sell 200 passes each month, starting with November, and that the pass will automatically renew each month through April, as the offer is not being extended to the postseason.

There are currently 44,000 people on the Warriors season-ticket waiting list.

It is believed this is the first time a team has offered fans a ticket merely to get into the building without viewing access. The Dallas Cowboys, since 2009, have offered standing-room-only tickets to its games called Party Passes, but people in the first couple of rows can actually see the field.

So access to $15 beers. Nice.

I don't know why you wouldn't at least explore an idea like this with that sort of demand out there.

Yeah, you have to have a team like GS to pull this off but it’s a good idea if you have something going like they do.

It's a terrible deal for the consumer. I can't see what anyone would get out of it. You have to fight traffic, pay to park, pay for high arse concessions, wait in long lines for the restroom...all to watch the game on a TV screen

I’m not arguing against that. I wouldn’t buy this.

But with the scene they’ve created and the demand that’s out there, this is a good idea.

So it's a $100 a month cover charge to a bar for expensive beers.

WHAT A DEAL

Aren’t you guaranteed viewing access with a SRO ticket?

You're talking about the Bay area, where $100 per month is absolutely nothing, less than a weeks parking. I think they're going to sell the shite out of them. People will buy them just to have dinner there, assuming the club level restaurants are nice enough.

why not just go to a bar by the stadium instead of 40 bucks for parking, 15 dollar beers and you don’t even get to watch the game live. Hard pass.

Most of the people who do this will only do it just so they can put it on Instagram and have something to one up their friends with.

Warriors are hurting pretty bad for money right now. They're practically getting run out of Oakland for that new pit of n arena. Just keep Joe Lacob in your prayers tonight.

Sadly they will. They're overcharging for a table scrap likely targeting the pre-Curry Warriors fans that have been priced out.
