So I bought the 12 game weekend package for my son and I at the end of last season, and I’m wondering are there more or better benefits if you get a half or full season? As far as fan experiences, special events etc. I know my son was hoping they would do some meet and greets but I don’t know if they do that for the 12 game sth.

I got a half season for 21 games at 450$ Not sure what you paid for 12 but
the half season isnt a terrible option if you want to see more games.

I paid $800 total for 2 seats in the half game package. Row 1 of the top level. Seemed like best bang for my buck overall with me living over 2 hours away. I know they are doing a thing this weekend where you can go in the blender and check out seats. I might look to upgrade to full if I see a deal and spot that I believe I’d be able to sell games I couldn’t make it to..

Yeah I’m asking more about the extras, not the price of the plans. Does anyone happen to know the difference in the perks of 12, half, and full season

I can’t speak for anyone else, but being a STH I got a ton of bennies. Everything from my daughter dancing with the dance team, to a private Q&A with Demps and about 10 other fans.

STH. I get more than my money’s worth in just cool stuff my daughter gets to do. I wish I could have done half the shite she’s done with the pelicans when I was her age. It’s so customary now it’s not even a big deal to her. Wait until she gets older and realizes how awesome and rare those experiences truly are.

You can get into the beer garden before the game with half season tickets. There are additional perks, some better than others. We have had half season tickets for years. I think the most important things, in the lean years, were establishing a relationship with your ticket rep, letting them know that you are coming back next season and that you are potentially going to upgrade. My son has been moved to courtside seats. We have switched games when we had conflicts, usually to better seats. If you miss a promotional item, they can hook you up. Things like that. And there are some other perks I don’t want to mention because they are limited and I’m selfish. The problem with half season tickets is that you are paying for weekday games against teams like Phoenix. It’s harder to make those than I though. And the beer garden is decent, but I often got there as it was shutting down. All that being said, this is a different era. The games may be more fun and a better experience. Tickets may have better resale value. With that also probably comes reduced special perks to get the place up to half full. If you aren’t sure, get the 12, try it out and milk your potential upgrade. If you like it, they will be happy to get you on board for more games. Ask about club seats, get a game upgraded to club seats. At least that’s how it worked when we sucked. The advice you get here may no longer apply.

I bought a 12 game weekend package over a month ago and the only guaranteed perk at the time I believe is that we get go down courtside during warm-ups for one of the games. Not sure what exactly that entails, but I would hope my son at least gets to take a pic with Pierre. They also sold me a parking pass for $10/game, which seemed worth it to me.

They did tell me that we would get playoff ticket priority after season ticket holders and half season ticket holders, before the general public got a shot. There’s a good chance that won’t matter this year.

As a longstanding Full STH i have a card that gets me 15% off concessions and team store.

Also invites to STH days are a huge perk (although we didn't have one last year - for obvious reasons).

Also you can sell back tickets to the pels office for face value or trade for additional tickets at another game.

Honestly, i could sell 1 of my Lakers tickets and 1 of my Warriors tickets and end of paying less overall than a half season would pay - and get full perks and 39 games.

Yeah the STH membership card gives you a discount on all purchases. The discount amount is tied to how long you’ve been a STH. STH events are legit. Sucks that we didn’t have one last year.
