Ticket prices

[Fez Hammersticks]

Back in 2007 and 2009 the team raised ticket prices -- with the loss of Roy and Oden, combined with an inept management and poor scouts, will the prices go back to pre-2008?

 

[HailBlazers]

The team is still operating in the Red, why would they?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

They raised prices because of this teams 'future' with superstar Brandon Roy and rehabbing-but-will-be-back-stronger-than-ever Oden -- we don't have anything close to that now.

Didnt prices stay flat this season?

 

[BlazerBeliever]

The Blazers did not raise prices this year. I finally hit my 10% discount so I actually get to pay less for next season!!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Why would they lower prices? You can't sell more than they already are.

Kind of wonder how the new 50/50 split will affect ticket prices.

Guessing probably not much.

If they continue to play poorly there is no doubt in my mind that the sellout streak will be over. They may have to lower ticket prices.

Hmmm, so it wasn't about bad character guys after all. Just the losing.

It has always been about winning or losing.

Winning makes the biggest difference, but all of the problems in the press did present a problem.

Prices have increased every year for a while and demand will no doubt be lower if a major move is not made. I would see renewal in the 300 level and courtside being the same with some dropoff in the 100/200 level. I would not be too quick to write off the sellout streak though. There are plenty of ways to sell tickets and all sellouts are not created equal in terms of the revenue they generate.

The streak is already over.... the did the same shit in 2004-2005..... they flat out lie about attendance.

Again, have you been to the Rose Garden? It sure looks full night after night to me.

You flat out dont know what you are talking about. EVERY team gives away tickets to clients, charities, etc if the game is close to being sold out and they have tickets remaining. It's tickets sold... not how many people show up.

'Rip City United' is the motto for next season.

From 'Uprising' to 'Rise With Us' to this...

As long as Chad Buchanan keeps making bonehead suggestions (he is a puppet for Miller but he is the head scout) this will be a tough sell for any in-the-know fan.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I know four people who will not re-new their tickets and two of them based it on the PA selling the team.

But I'm pretty sure all of them based it on the bleak future.

 

[Sinobas]

Buy a blazer ticket? I can barely stand to watch them on TV.

 

[Boob-No-More]

The way the team is playing right now, they should be paying the fans to sit through this shit.

Not only that, as someone pointed out here, they were never straight up with about Roy and Oden because it would hurt ticket sales. Nothing is more important to them then the "sell out streak" that is a sham.
