I’m looking into season tickets and have a few questions. Anyone have a seating chart of price points? I’ve asked a sales rep 3 days in a row if they can send me a chart and they say yes then beat around the bush. Do you like being a STH? I’ve never been a STH of any kind. Any info will help.

I had tickets for the Chris Paul years.
Making half the games requires dedication.

I cannot find an updated version of the seating map, but I can say that being a STH has its benefits. Such as:

-access to early shoot around before games
-free beer before the game at the beer garden
-access to sth only events (tour of the practice facility, vip viewing of saints practice field, sth only watch parties for away games)

This was my first year with season tickets and I plan on renewing next year. Hope this helps.

I enjoy being a STH. I used to say I would just buy tickets to some games, but with the STH you plan for it and attend more. I have made about 1/2 my cost back on resale of maybe 10-12 games. The tickets are getting easier and easier to sell at or above face value with Zion on board if you can't make the game and the arena experience has been more entertaining this year too.

Next year will be awesome.

Email me at TigerCowboy15@Gmail.com and I will give you my reps information. I enjoy being a season ticket holder. I upgraded this renewal period into some lower level seats. I can't make most week night games because I live in Baton Rouge and I don't get off work until 5:30. I sell those games and this season I made my money back on the tickets already.

Also, if you have kids. I find that the Pelicans do a good job of entertaining the kids.

Beer garden will not be renewed for next season.

Has anyone been to the pregame shoot arounds or any of the sth only events? I never hear about them and my rep seems to be non-responsive most times. Until it came time to renew tickets that is. They did switch my ticket rep mid-year due to my previous rep leaving. Maybe that's why I don't hear as much.

I have an extremely good rep. He responds almost immediately to any request. I think you just need to request someone higher up.

I went to the shoot around for the first Lakers game. Definitely a cool experience, but probably wont do it again. I'm going to an event this weekend they are hosting at a top golf type of place to watch the away game. Free food and drinks...

The tour of the practice facility over the summer was amazing. There was about 50 people there, and the agenda was packed full of cool shite. We got a chance to have "chalk talk" interviews with Zion and NAW and Dgriff with Gentry. Plus a bunch of free swag...Really got me fired up for the season.

Have been a STH since day 1 and enjoy it. There are a few perks. Getting first shot at your tix for playoffs is hopefully one we will get to use again soon!

Do you have club seats? Who's your rep?

Used to be TONS of benefits, when we sucked.

Beer garden is gone next year.

Used to be ALOT of free schwag but that is gone.

I used to attend a small open practice once a year at the Airline facility and that's gone.

The STH Day was totally worth it alone - access to and photos with/autographs from all the players, food, games, prizes... that was the best and happened end of the year. Last year it was cancelled with all the AD crap and i don't think they will ever have one again.

The rules of buybacks have changed but i never did that - i have always resold online if i couldn't make it.

That said, i would trade all of it for a team that could consistently win 50+ games a season and make a playoff run. Put the money on the court in a way that i can see it and I'm happy.

I appreciate all of the responses. I’ve been in contact with someone. But just felt like I was getting the run around. I’m excited for next season. Hopefully they will hear my voice about getting a new coach. Now that I’ll be a STH

I have it on good authority that it is coming back.

I have a good ticket rep as well. We have the weekend season ticket package (12 games) so dont get all the full season perks, but anytime we want to get in beer garden, pregame warmups, etc we just shoot our rep a text and he makes it happen.
I know one "perk" for next year, at least we were offered, was if your season tickets are x amount you get a spending card for concessions. We ended up combining all of ours under one account (but still pay with separate CCs) and brought the value to $5K so we get a $500 spending card.

Same, my rep didn’t even text me until the middle of the TWolves game about renewals, and the deadline is coming up. I politely told him that I’m very unhappy with a multitude of things, but mainly increase in prices for a non-playoff team, decrease in benefits, and coaching. He tried to push that the “secondary market says tickets are worth more than we charge,” which considering how many empty seats are in the uppers I do no believe.

Just unhappy with the marketing/ticketing office in general, which isn’t the ultimate reason, but helps making the decision not to renew. Was going to buy half season but the half season for my seat is only $75 less than full season which makes no sense.

Do you like being a STH?


Loved it. Unfortunately I wont be renewing next season due to some events and plans that are gonna cost me a pretty penny.

Someone else posted it takes a lot of dedication to make even half the games: I can confirm. It's a grind. I'm burnt out with going to so many games (25/31 so far) and have been selling most if not all of my remaining games for the year. Not sure how folks managed that years ago without Seat geek.

In the past we've gotten quite a few nice benefits: Beer Garden, exclusive STH events at the facility, etc. Looks like now that the team is expected to be really good those are going away.

If I were you, I'd start with a half season.

I had great season tickets from the beginning until my “ medical event”.

I loved having them. They were. club seats. But it is difficult to attend
more than half the games if you have a life to lead.
