Article: Start of Zion era creating hardships too quickly for some Season ticket holders

We saw it in a thread a few days ago.

IF you want a generational talent, things will get more and more pricy.

It seems to me they're betting on future returns, not the smartest business model, but that's the play.

Are you expecting a gradual increase in success next year? Even as tough as the West is, would anybody be really happy with start of season expectations being a playoff bubble team again? Or do you expect a fully healthy Pels team be in the middle tier of playoff teams with the Dallases and Utahs?

That depends on who’s next to Zion at center.

But if Favors or a Favors adequate replacement is there, I expect a 45 win team with the roster we have now. Healthy of course.

*45 as a floor.

Shout out to getting a TDer’s quote in the article.

It seems like the huge % increases are in seats that were substantially underpriced relative to the rest of the league (sub-$500 tickets).

Mine had a minimal increase.

Exactly — the driveSEATS (Row 1 upper baseline) went up $140 total. The only people bitching and moaning are the Peltards who GOT comfortable paying more for a beer than their seat and think that’s the going rate in 2020 to watch one of the best young up and coming teams in The NBA


DRIVEMAN OUT

Yep, the people complaining the most were paying $350 per ticket and they're now $610. Went from $8 to $14.50 per game. Still under $15 per game to see this team play!!!

Why are they killing the beer garden? I don't get it.

I'd say it's more from the polls they've sent out over the last 2 yrs. If the beers were able to be redeemed inside if you couldn't make it by 30mins to tip off then they would still have it. I rarely get there in time to get beers so I'd rather a perk somewhere else, like the team store.

This. Don't personally care about the beer garden because I never make it to the games 45+ minutes before tip off.

But now you really have neither (although they will try and convince you that you do). They give you more concession/store gift card balance but take away the season ticket holder discounts. The net is likely a loss in benefits for most.

Beer Garden was originally designed as a way to get some ticket holders to get to the games earlier in order to attempt to alleviate some of the traffic bottle neck right before gametime.
