Event The 1st ever RipCityTwo Suite Party! Thunder vs Blazers, 1/10/2016 - Event Thread

[Strenuus]

just form a union and collect dues...that'll go over well here

hahaha I had no other word I could think of.

 

[Strenuus]

Excellent work. I would totally be down for doing this again. The difficulty would be getting $ up front from people. Is it possible to set up a paypal account or something similar so that we could conveniently prepay and nobody has to front the $?

You and Orion are thinking the same thing.

I'm totally down to do another Suite game!

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I absolutely got spoiled too. and your right pre organization would be the hardest thing. I wonder if we could set up something like a pay pal donation account or something where it is logged and recorded who donates what and when and then when the funds are enough to purchase a suite, THEN we start looking at dates that would fit the schedules of those who donated?
Just a thought.

OMG Orion, you must be a genius!

 

[BlazerWookee]

I just crunched some numbers and looked at the suites... and if we even got 15 people, it'd be fairly reasonable for Grand and Premier.. Elite would be about $60 a ticket... Premier for 20 people is 540/20 = $27.00/ticket If for some reason only 15 can do it, 540/15 = $36.00/ticket.

For Grand 384/20 = $19.20/ticket for 15 people 384/15 =$25.60/ticket


So, it's entirely reasonable. However, the logistics and making sure money is going where it needs and can be gathered in time for payment (since one would have to pay up front)... there would have to be a deadline for paying, etc.

Those are the skybox suites, right?

Great minds think alike!

I'd like to suggest though, that the only difficult part about THAT is the price difference between 15 and 20 people, so we need to make sure we have a CONFIRMED number BEFORE payment, so we are not overpaying/underpaying individually, etc. Though I guess if there's an underpayment, that can be rectified... overpayment would be difficult.

 

[Strenuus]

I believe so. I just used the quotes from Sly's post.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Wookee was on his 18th Coors Light and couldn't stand.

It was 14, and I was standing just fine. I just didn't want to be in the back, and I take up way too much room to stand in the front lol...

 

[Orion Bailey]

Those are the skybox suites, right?

Oh yeah, these arent the same location as last time. I dont care so much about being on the 300 level, but are the suites basically the same? Im in this for the cushion seating, bar stools and the food man!!!! LOL

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

You guys are saying you can't scrounge up $30-40 and give it to someone here trustworthy to hold it a month or two before a game?

If this is true, you need to spend less time here and a little more time working.

Overpayment goes to ordering food/beverages for the suite - it wouldn't likely be all that much.

As for another evening hanging with you Zeroes, sure, count me in, FAMS.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

You guys should invest in some sort of 6 month CD to cover STD tests later.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

These guys... so ghey.

I'd have to know the date first.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Yeah I'd have to know the date first too. But I'd most likely be down

Those Saturday games sound better to me...I'd be able to make weekday games too, but the weekend is probably better for most people....I'm down either way

 

[BigGameDamian]

Yeah I'd have to know the date first too. But I'd most likely be down

Who's dating who in this forum?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Who's dating who in this forum?

Just check the group photo to see who is wincing and who's hands are visible.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

When are you coming to one of these events BGD?

 

[kjironman1]

Here is the prices for the 300 level suits that hold 25 people.

Okay i got a $100 for it no prob.

 

[kjironman1]

Saturday games would be great! Please nothing during the week and i am already going to the game on Sunday Jan 31st with my nephew. He gets to be on court and get a Tshirt. So i got to be there for that.
I think he is shooting a free throw for something also?

 

[BBert]

So...the suites you are talking about are higher up in the 300 level?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So...the suites you are talking about are higher up in the 300 level?

Yes. Above the 300 level.

 

[Strenuus]

So...the suites you are talking about are higher up in the 300 level?

I think so.

Yeah, a Saturday game would go well for me. Just let me know the price.

 

[Chris Craig]

So...the suites you are talking about are higher up in the 300 level?

Yes bring oxygen

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I think so.

Samesies. I think most of us would make it work any night, but Fridays and Saturdays are better.

 

[riverman]

Sat and Sun are out for me

 

[Chris Craig]

Sat and Sun are out for me

Well then we'll have to find a game you can go to...you've gotta be there

 

[Strenuus]

Samesies. I think most of us would make it work any night, but Fridays and Saturdays are better.

The game I would most want to go to, personally, for the suite, is the Rockets game on Thursday the 26th at 7:30PM if it were a weekday game.. I wonder where that falls? Probably above the premier, I would assume

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Thursdays are pretty good too. In my industry, most people work lightly on Fridays.
