re: Playoff tix on sale.

Me neither, but the tickets have an "Event Delay" posted on them and the ability to sell or transfer them is gone. After watching WDSU just now, I'm expecting it.

If you look at ticket master does it tell you that there is a delay on your ticket delivery when you try to click on the tickets? Just did that to me about 2 hours ago.

They need to take L on this and let it go and call it lessons learned. They are about to piss off a bunch of people.

Same. I already printed mine at purchase though. Wonder whats going to happen to those who already sold......

They just nullify the barcode and those tickets will no longer work at gate, as was mentioned earlier.

This is the a flipping cluster. Someone made a point on an earlier page that they were probably holding some tickets back for the next wave of onsale times, more than likely. Apparently this was not the case. They are about to screw us all sons...crap!!!!

Is it correct that if you had a half season package you would have no guaranteeed seats and be left scrambling with the masses who knew the not-so-secret code?

didnt think of that......

I don't think you can punish the season ticket holders who were on at 9 am getting the seats they wanted by putting them back through another crapshoot

I received an email on Thursday last week stating that only full STHs were guaranteed seats after round 1. They got their seats, plus were supposed to be given 2 hours of a presale today to get more tickets starting at 9:00. At 11:00 the half season/12 game plan presale started. By then, only uppers were left, and most of those were upper half uppers, at least for game 1.

I thought it was kind of crappy that I couldn't get 2 seats guaranteed for at least one home game as a 12 game plan holder. I'd be even more pissed if I was a half season ticket holder.

I think that’s what happened to my in laws. They logged on and saw only uppers available. They assumed it was an error and kept refreshing. After 2-3 times the site quit responding so they called their ticket rep. He’s supposed to “take care of it” but was fielding lots of calls. They have had half season tickets for 7-8 years. Lots of ticket, concession and merchandise dollars spent over that time while watching crap basketball. Fans who show up good times and bad. They are a category of the fan base they don’t want to alienate. That’s what makes it hard for the Pels to say “Opps! Nothing we can do now. Lesson learned.” Especially for a second round series with GS.

It would help if the NBA would come out and set some dates in stone. They could come out and say if GS wins Game 5 then series would start Sat. Then go Mon, Thu, Sat. If GS-SA goes 6, the series starts Sun then Tue, Fri, Sun and so on. Instead Pels fans are sitting here wanting to buy tickets and not knowing when they'll be for.
Add on to that this market isn't used to this type of thing and we got a cluster*. I think the answer is to open up tickets for STH to purchase tickets, but no more than the number of tickets they've had all season. Then open it up for public. STH's shouldn't be able to purchase extra tickets just so they can sell them back. This never should have been done with a code word too. Too easy for it to get out, hell it was the original post of this thread
