Great timing with that 6-7 game losing streak

Damn, no thanks. Will stick with game day purchase on seat geek or another app.

After a nice hike last season. Pretty risky given fans' concerns over safety while parking downtown.

They need to include a parking pass with season Tix

Dropped season tickets after YEARS and never looked back.

When they raised ticket prices after COVID, especially since most STHs basically gave the organization an interest free loan, that was enough for me to get rid of my tickets.

The costs of running businesses are going up more and more, they dont have a choice.

Also considering we will be a tax team next year, that extra money has to be paid somehow.

Some sections include a parking pass with four tickets but yes it'd be great to make more available.

Well considering they bought the team for $330m and it’s now worth over $1b, I think they’re doing ok on money

I’m sure they’re doing fine with revenue sharing, but the valuation of $1B doesn’t mean anything about how much money they’re making unless they sell

Love my seats - low upstairs, side court - really good value

2022-23 Seat price - $700 each

Total earned in resale of Celtics, Lakers, 76ers, Nets & 2x GSW = $1000 each

Profit = $300 + rest of 35 games free & playoff tickets locked

I go to as many games as i can, but sometimes i cant. Plus i had covid during the New Year home stand and i stayed home (unlike the F'r who sat next to me at the Spurs game sweating and coughing who very likely gave me covid).

2023-24 Seat price - $900 each - No problem - sold

Nice return this year for you. I have had season tickets since they moved to NOLA. Most of the seasons, the resale market has not been there for games I cannot attend. My lower bowl tickets went up 15% after going up last year as well. Getting tougher.

Still remember in 2014 when my season tickets were $199 each. Was in college. High up but got 2 free beers before every game and perks. Paid for itself just in beer. I renewed when they went up to $350 each but then stopped cause the team was not producing. I think they should have held the same pricing as this year.

So you're saying you sold those 6 games in that location and got an average of $166 per ticket after sellers' fees.

For the benefit of people thinking they could get tickets and do the same, that's not realistic. To get paid $166 on seatgeek, you'd have to list a ticket at $185, and a buyer would have to pay $222 after the buyers' fee. Aside from the Lakers game, prices for those games at that location were no where near that.

Yes that is what i am saying - Lakers Celtics Nets and GSW (before they announced starters benched) all went for big $$.

Congrats, because that is pretty high even for some lower bowl tickets.

Bold strategy from a team that's won exactly one playoff series in 15 years and whose top two players sit and watch way more games than they play.
