Got a email saying my season tickets have been fedex to me. I check and I should get them the 28th. I thought it odd they are coming from Fort Smith, AR? They can't get a printer locally? Guess it doesn't really matter.
 
A friend of mine got his today... I still haven't received mine.
 
They used to come from Toronto until last year when the company went on strike and the Blazers found a new company to print tickets.
 
I got the same e-mail saying the 28th. I do wonder why they are so late this year. Usually they come a few weeks before the season starts. This year we will get them 8 days before the first game.
 
Email I got just said they were being mailed the week of the 21st. Hope they come soon. I'm going to Mexico on the 29th.
 
I wonder how 1/4 season packages are handled... I haven't heard yet that they're being mailed.

They had to print paper tickets for the preseason games last year, they were not even around for the first game, so this isn't that bad.

STH Rep said it was a card stock issue this year.

Mine shows Memphis too, but that's not where they were picked up.

Looks like they made it to Portland this morning. Wonder if I'll get them today instead?
 
A guy in the purple on RealGM got his half season package on Friday. Said it came with a mini-backpack.

Curious to see what the goodies are this year. The Spirit Mountain vouchers were pretty sweet.
 
Mine just came with a case of rubbers signed by Shawn Kemp!
 
Luckily mine have been sitting at the Tualatin Fed-Ex facility since the 26th, and will arrive tomorrow night
 
Ya, mine arrived Monday too. At first I thought we were getting a free hat. I like the little back pack. There are coupons on the back of the tickets like last year, but I didn't see anything so STH's would receive a discount on merchandise?

Called after getting the same generic package of tickets, calendar, and backpack. I guess the other package with the card for getting merchandise is also being put together. Not expecting much, but there is still hope for the Spirit Mountain vouchers!
 
Question for you guys, do you make it to all 41 home games or do you go to like the 10-15 best ones and sell the others off?

Think I made it to thirty games last year and my seats were all dependant upon who I was going with. For the premium games, I usually sold my season seats and bought extras to use. Had four in a row and had a hard time selling three if it was just me going. Sat in my season seats for probably six games.

This year, split up my four and got a single in front of one of the pair. Will probably use the single alot and sell the others.
 
Since a signature is not required, my tickets are sitting in a Fed Ex box on my front porch, I would have preferred a box office pick up at this rate.
 
Also of note is that there is not a face value printed on the ticket. Checked the Blazers website and they have switched to a four tiered system.

14 games are priced around the season ticket holder price.

14 games are priced around what face value was last year.

12 games went up slightly.

4 games (LA Lakers twice, Cleveland, Boston) got increases of 50%.

I went to 38 games last year if you count the off season. The rest I gave to friends to use.
 
I don't yet see the ability to forward our season tickets via email through the Blazers' website. Does anyone know about that? Maybe it's not activated for some reason.

Tickets are not available via the resale site either. Look for it to be up and running soon.

Mine aren't the "best ones" (I didn't get to the CLE game or the later L*ker game), but I usually get to about 15 or so (depending on the schedule) and auction the rest on the Blazer marketplace. But you don't get the cash until the end of the year, which is fine. Last year, I made enough to get this year's tickets free, even with the 40% bump in prices. Probably won't get that next year.

I go to as many as my health allows. Last year was a bad year and I only made it to 3 regular season games, but I made it to all three playoff games!

I'm hoping to make it to a lot more this year both reg and playoff games.
