Event Question about Suites for a Blazer game..(We got one!)

[Sean.ivity]

Hey all,

I had a question regarding prices for the suites at the Moda Center for Blazers games. Having a stupid little debate at work about it.

A co-worker just told me that it costs around $5000 for 1 games which I could see. Then He tries to tell me that its costs $15,000 for an entire season. I immediately tell him there's no way it would cost the equivalent of 3 games to be able to go to 41 regular season games and he was saying he knows this for fact for various reasons which he told me... I think hes full of it, Does anyone know the actual price ranges for these things? I googled some but didn't get any full season answers.

I wish I had inside knowledge, but I don't. I'd wager the guy is about 1 zero short.

Most of the time the suites hold 21. You have to buy all of the seats and have been around $65 per ticket. They run specials and some of the suites are rented out for the entire year. Guessing the price is about the same.

They did open some bigger suites and have not priced them.

That's what I was thinking.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

I think the people that have them for the entire season, are on a yearly or multi year contract, that includes all events (concerts, etc), and might come with a sponsorship agreement, or ad placement around the arena.

I'm going to assume that they are in the 100k range at least.

You know, this raises a much more interesting question. If someone in this forum were to rent out a suite for a single game, what is a reasonable per person cost that forum members might be willing to pay to participate, and how many people would be interested in attending (and paying their part for the privilege, of course)?

Just for kicks and giggles, I've submitted an inquiry with suitehop.com for a suite for Saturday 10/31 against Phoenix. I'll report back if I get a reply.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Wait for deals. They will run two games for one occasionally. Demand is going to be down this season.

I would be interested but definitely not for Halloween.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The Halloween game would be almost $4400 (through the site from which I inquired). Basically $200/person. Probably a bit more than most in here would pony up.

I bet you would have better luck trying to buy a bunch of seats together. $200 isn't too terribly bad however I would not want to pay that much for a Halloween game vs PHX. The Spurs game on the other hand...

Yeah, but there's a certain level of cache generated by getting a suite instead of just a block of seats.

I might be able to swing a suite from the Blazers.

We would need to pick a night they're ok with and enough people have to show.

I would go to the Halloween game and pay $200 for the suite if Wookee shaves his whole body and goes as Dwight Jaynes.

Think season tix will be substantially cheaper next year after we win 25 games?

That would be amazing. I doubt we would have difficulty filling a suite with yahoos from this joint.

Frankly, it seems like a small favor to ask.

A small drop in prices for most sections. Maybe a break on the higher priced ones. They do not want to drop too much because it takes too long to correct. With flexible pricing, they can rely more on walk up sales instead of season ticket holders. Will see how bad this team is.

If we do suck this year, might be time for me
To become a season ticket holder. How often do 300 level section tickets come available?

300 level seats are probably available right now. Might even be some perks if you became a season ticket holder now. With the annual discount for multiple year accounts getting in sooner is better. If not, make friends with someone that has.

I know someone who was able to get 2 season tickets in the 300 level last season.

I am guessing he could get them now. Problem is going to be they are priced before the playoff games last year. The playoffs add huge value to a season ticket package. Best option I see is if they did have one of the cheap seats available, buy it now and use the EXPAPP to upgrade all season. The other seats probably would not have a good resale value for the games he could not go to. Getting in this year would make sense because of the discount for years being a season ticket holder but could also be gotten later this year.

I could see them offering really nice perks for someone getting season tickets now and later. I got a pair of NCAA suite tickets for adding a pair at midseason.

Another co-worker of mine sent them a e-mail and for a club suite they said its around $100,000 for 16 games and you have to sign a 3-5 year lease.

Okay, we can do this guys! Let's open up a strip club called "Sly's" and all of us can dance! With our obviously average to heavy physiques we will be pulling in massive profits (especially because our demographic of viewers will be women ages 36-55 and men 27-45).. Enough to lease Blazer suites!

Seems like a done deal, guys.

I need us to figure out a few potential games/dates you all want to have the suite and I'll see which one they can get us.

That's awesome. Do we assume that this will need to be for a lower tier game, like (Sun) 11/8 vs Detroit? Or would they only want go give a mid week game, like (Tue) 11/24 vs Chicago? Or should we just be ridiculous and ask for the Spurs game?

If the pricing is not too bad, my son and I would love to go. Keep us in the loop!

 

[PDXFonz]

I would be interested in going regardless of the game.
