So i see ya'll renewing your season tickets. I have a couple questions. In regards to purchasing season tix, do you have to go through a representative? And if so, do you save money doing that? Also is parking included? I'd be looking at the cheapest seats they have so i doubt it. Any info yall can can give me would be appreciated. Thanks

Truthfully i just want to be a dedicated fan. The team needs new season ticket holder support and I want to be apart of it. In addition, I'd get first access to playoff tickets (i truly believe this team will make the playoffs next season).)

not a season ticket holder, but i can answer a few of your questions

each season ticket holder has a rep. not sure if there is a rep for each section or just different reps are assigned different people.

you can add in parking if you wish, but i'm pretty sure it costs extra. glad to see you supporting the franchise…tickets will not be as cheap late next year when the team is making a playoff run

Yea thats what I'm saying! This team should be making a nice run next year! I'm wondering if you have to get in touch with a rep first or if you order them online do the reps just call you? I've never bought season tix before so I'm really in the dark.

Yes.

Not go my knowledge.

Reps have a certain number of season ticket holders, but they're in different sections as far as I know.

There's no reason to purchase a parking pass, imo. I'd rather not fight the Dome lot traffic and just park nearby on the street or a cheaper lot.

Where in the arena is the beer garden located? And do you have access to it no matter where the tickets are located?

It is located right out front. Right now it is right in between the dome and SKC near the box office.

I believe all season ticket holders have access to it regardless of location.

Beer garden is a waste of time. It use to be unlimited beer. If you give a $1 you can still get beer after your two free 8oz beers. Dont let that be a selling point for you. Only people who fall for it are newbs when you post on Craig's list tryinf to make it seem cool
tickets are cheal and you can do a payment plan.
free parking is easy to get and you can find your spot within first few games. In park same spot every game.

If you call for tickets ask for Courtney. Hes an awesome rep and I really enjoyed hook ups througj the 4 years I been on board

With that said...be prepared to be mad. After first loss in a season you will notice lets tank again this year and with your money invested you get annoyed quicker

While it will make 0 difference out side of free tickets tanking has made me not renew. I want to be able to.cheer what's best for team in a bad year. But after 3 years of tanking and watching us lose games the same exact way, in December I said I would not go to another game unless Monty was gone. If wasn't gone by Renew time I just wouldn't renew. I have let over half a season go to waste because my disgust built up that much. And the drive from nola to br became miserable because it was ground hogs day. A shitty postgame didn't help relieve anger. Shoild bring Gerry v back

Is it childish to boycott games because I dont care for our coach? Sure. But I guarantee every agent is using the mast little streak we were on to point to "see how good we will be!"..I.know.mine has..
But we have a streak like this every year and we suck every year.
Afyer 4 years and a new daughter I could no longer justify the money on gas and tickets and the time. If the pelicans think the direction we are in is the right way I may purchase season fix again in 3 years when they finally stop making excuses for the staff.
Thibs in Chicago had injuries and got better.
Phoenix is young and every excuse we have heard under monty and they are an absolute blast to watch.

I just couldn't support a team that has yet to learn help side rotations. Next year I will attend games but ill just spend $5 and sitlower bowl. If we do play well and tickets go up ill happily pay higher after market price. But the pelicans have taken a fan who lived and breathed nola bball and made me sick of them. I catch scores but dramatic or not I won't return till Monty iPhone

That said have fun. And ask for Courtney. Hes the only thing pelicans have done right since I been a holder

I've had season tickets since the 2002-03 season, so I've seen the highs and lows. Your experience with the team is very limited and has occurred during what is likely its toughest time. Regardless of what the naysayers try to argue, Williams and Demps took over a fricking shipwreck (after D West got hurt in their first year, there was not chance Paul was staying).

Is Monty the long term answer? Maybe not. But I promise you, better days are ahead. I mean, do I have to list the reasons? To not renew because of your disdain of Monty is just silly, imo. But that's just my opinion.

I have, from time to time, thought about the worth of my tickets. I have downscaled. I used to share a pair in the Club and a pair in the corner behind the Pelicans' bench. I gave up the Club seats because I realized I didn't give that much of a shite about the Club amenities.

But if you have season tickets you are allowed a certain number of "trade ins" or can sell some back to the team. You get advance notice and access to team events. Where I sit, I get notice of and first crack at tickets for events in both the Smoothie King Center and the Superdome. There are other "perqs" that I don't pay attention to, but that are available.

That was only the times that I had season tickets. Ive been going to games since we were lucky enough to get the Hornets.I went so much it made sense to finally get tickets. I got them because I knew tickets would be down with Paul gone so I wanted to help since we were still on benchmarks at th time. So it's not like its something enw for me. While I will remain a huge fan our history here has shown we will be more towards bottom than even the middle. If I was OT rich then I would keep pouring money into a bottomless pit hoping for 1 good year out of 10 which is basically the going ratio they have shown us.
I haven't disagreed with Demps moves. My critiques of Monty aren't some new nit pick i've found. He's living off one good year with Paul in which he killed our main scoring threat off bench, and a year with a group of veterans were they played tough every night. It's like he believes his own hype that he is a great coach and won't make adjustments unless forced to because it may mean he was wrong.

the flaw is that it is completely irrational to connect the Monty/Demps/Benson regime to anything occurring before. in other words, it hasn't been ten years.

As a fan 2007 is onky season we can point to as a "I knew this could be fun"....its what we tell people about when they ask us why we go. We have to refer back tp that to show nola can care about basketball.
If we can't refer back to then n is nothing to hang our hat on as hope that it can be that again one day. The franchise as a whole should be looked at

If you want a ticket rep, I can give you info on mine. And if you mention me as who referred me, I'll get a credit to my account for 10% of the value of the package you choose! Let me know and I'll give you my email for contact info.

Parking in the garages is $15 per game. If you sign up for a parking pass, you basically just prepay for your parking at a cost of $10 per game.

Can get full season in the balcony baseline sections for like $299 per seat I believe. I just bought balcony side at $525 per seat. I'm about midway up the balcony, but near mid-court. Actually really like the seats (only about 1/2 section over from my 12 game package this year).
