Re-upped my season tickets and met most players last night

[Robertpel9]

They are dropping prices again next year. You can get all the way down to row C lower level now for $50 a game in the corners I like that angle the best and know all of the ushers so use the club section concessions and bathrooms anyway) and they are dropping the upper corners on the lower level to $25. I moved from row V to row F and when they have the relocation event in June may be able to get in C or D, seems like good deal.

After that i strolled into backcourt after the game - no one asked me for a wristband or anything I think carrying a 11 month old son both with matching GW jerseys on helped. The players were coming out and signing and taking pics. Once again GW did not while most everyone else did - not sure what the story is with that. He certainly owes me nothing but he popped his head out of the door and there were only like 10 of us there and everyone else came out and was social but he just went back in and never came out

Everyone else was nice. My son had basically the whole team sign his jersey on the #3 of his replica. I have a authentic one and they all signed everywhere but on the number (I assume they save that for GW???)

Anyway good deals on Season tickets for next year they are trimming the ticket trade program down to 20 games but other than that the prices are certainly right and the after party was fun,

Hoping for more fun tonight (andanother win)

Thats good to hear and its kinda cool you got to meet the guys. Hope people dont still use the "tickets are too expensive" excuse to not come out next season.

Parking cost more than tix now.

Drive to a light rail station and use that

Park in 7th street station and go to Brixx for a beverage afterwards to get it validated. They also have buy 1 get 1 free pizzas (and appetizers?) if you cash out after 10 (which unless you inhale your food you will).

It's posts like this that makes boards like this one and RealGM all sorts of awesomeness.

[110oldeast]

Glad to help you out bro. Grew up in Charlotte and have paid to park maybe 3 times in all my times of going uptown.

Lower level STH's get free parking to boot!!!!

Lower level STH's get free parking to boot!!!!

Any lower level seat? Not just the club seats?

[SirBobcat]

Good to see that the Bobcats are getting it right. Some money and filled seats is better than no money and empty seats

[ND22]

I NEED to get my ass to a Bobcats game. Wait, I'm on Spring Break right now, why not now?

[Robertpel9]

yes, they had it this year as well if you were renewing. I was not eligible as it was my first year buying season seats. I am not sure if it is only for renewals now (it may be) but i am going to be in 103 row F and i get free parking - WOO HOO

[dav7z]

Next season parking is going to be free with lower level seats . Those 25 Dollar seats are a hell of a deal. Im supose to renew mine at the Heat game . But we havn't decided what we want . Though im thinking those 25 dollar seats are the best deal in the house,.

My rep was talking 103 row f all so to me . Its a hell of a deal.

[Robertpel9]

I paid for 103 row F - Those are $50 each - I still think it's an awesome deal

What sections are the $25 seats? I can't find them anywhere on lower level. I'm still looking for tickets to the Heat game and only tickets I can find for $25 are in the 200 sections but on the front row... so front row on the upper level.

[Robertpel9]

Section 116 and the one opposite to it. Call the ticket office,

Or just buy from a scalper when you get there - they will have plenty of lower level seats in the 30 dollar range

I was in 116 all this season and they have been $30, they were and remain the best deal in the house it is from row (t and up). I just want to get closer so i am going down to row C-F

[Proudiddy]

wow $30 a ticket/single seat? That is a really good deal. I was looking at the 3-d view on the ticketexchange website, excellent view.

If I call the ticket office and ask them about Sec116 they should still have some available at that price. I know I'm coming Tuesday, I just don't want to end up getting a crappy seat if I show up without having bought a ticket before I get there.

The seats from row q back in section 103 is $25 , From Q up is up is $50. Im going to either buy row f the $50 dollar seat or the Handy cap seat in 103 for $40or$ 45. Its just four of those for that section , Mike and Allan is surpose to be cheaking. Row r is still the best value in that section for $25 . I know i can get row aa but that is two many steps . If i could get row r thats the seats to get Its the best value. Proudiddy im all most certain we well be in the same section next season . The free parking is what is what is moving me back to the lower level . Even though im in the second row in the upper level this year. In 211,,, With good isle seats. The price is staying the same in that section $20 a game.

The $25 is a season ticket sales price in section 103 and one other section. It must be 116 .

[TheBeagle]

It's posts like this that makes boards like this one and RealGM all sorts of awesomeness.LOL I was thinking the exact same thing!

Thanks for the advice, 110! Paying $7.50 every game has gotten rather old, especially when my tix are only $10 a pop. And pizza too?!?!? YESSSSS

You can park in the Hearst Tower too (between 5th and 6th streets on College) and go to Fuel Pizza, Pita Pit, SoHo Bistro, City Tavern, etc. and they will validate as well. I've only tried it at Fuel Pizza but they've never given me a hard time.

Hey guys. I'm new to this site, although I love our Bobcats. I'm interested in possibly buying season tickets next year or the year after and I would like to know just how much it would cost to buy lower lever around row R(I think that's where the $25 seats are) for the full season? Plus, what kind of benefits do you guys get with the regular season tickets? I've perused the Bobcats' website looking for more info about the season tickets, but I'd like to know first-hand experience from actual fans. Thanks in advance.

[Robertpel9]

I was in that section this year when they were $30.

To get your total price you take the price per seat and multiply by 43 games (You have to buy 2 preseason games, if you dont want to go just trade them forward for extra seats to regular season games that are ticket trade eligible.

I am doing the $50 seats this year, i just paid for 103 Row F.

All lower level seats get the same treatment (all seats get most of this except free parking is only lower level)

Free parking

Ticket trade (they are cutting it back to 20 eligible games next year thought from 30+ this year)

Framed autographed GW poster

discount card (5% on food and drink and 15% of team store items)

buy more tickets at STH price and can buy before general public

Pay as we play for the playoffs is we make it vs having to pay in advance

payment plans - I did 30% down now and then 7 monthly payments of 10% of the balance with no fees, etc


Those are the main ones - there are other samller ones (meet and greets, chalk talk, etc) but these are your game day benefits

First off, welcome!

Let me just say I am in no way a STH, and probably won't be until I'm out of college and have a steady job. But I've been fortunate enough to have been given tickets from STH's before, and it's a lot better than the reg. ticket if you're going to a lot of games or if you're a diehard. You get your own entrance where you get in 30 minutes (I think, maybe 45?) early, so you can go down courtside and watch shootaround and sometimes get autographs or chat with some of the players. There's apparently this free parking thing, depending on where you sit and how the packages work you get special bonus things, like dinners in FrontCourt or a meeting the coaches. The representatives are pretty helpful for STH's, though it's the luck of the draw with them. Also, you have the discounts now for concessions and at the team store, which is cool. And I saw they're running a buy one get one free ticket special right now, so that's really good.

[CaptainJackandCoke]

Thank you for the welcome. I feel like I'll spend a lot of time here in the future. Also, thanks for the advice. I'm somewhat in college myself, yet it's a community college and I do have a full-time job. I'm considering the season tickets, as I am a diehard Bobcats fan who watches every game possible(only missed 1 since having directv from Jan 2010 until present). The meeting the players and 15% off of merchandise seem to be my biggest buying points because I've never actually met any of the players. The only player from any of my favorite teams that I've ever met was Steve Smith, WR Carolina Panthers, and I got lucky to see him in my hometown of Hickory one day. Assuming I was to get $25 seats for the season ticket price, with 43 games, that's $1,075. Including percentages off food/merchandise and free parking(does anyone know where, by chance?), this seems like an amazing deal. Once again, thank you guys for your help.

[teej]

in my hometown of Hickory

You're from here? I'm sorry :p

What school did you go to?

And yeah, under $1100 for lower level seating to a (presumably) playoff team is pretty amazing.

[CaptainJackandCoke]

St. Stephens High. Born and raised in Hickory, yes. It wasn't too bad :D. I'm living in Lenoir for the time being though. What school did you go to?

[Felton for Prez]

Should I be offended that I have yet to hear from my ticket rep about renewal particularly since my 3yr lock up is over? I am a huge fan of this team but they treat (some of) their STHs like shit.

On no, an Indian! :p HHS Tornado here.

From what I've seen on tv, they started renewals two weeks ago. And there aren't enough STH's they can't get done with calls in two days max.

[CaptainJackandCoke]

ouch, a tornado. what year did you graduate? 06 for me

[teej]

I'm still here, graduate next year.

impressive. glad to see a former rival has a great bobcats fan.. i honestly don't meet a lot of bobcats fans around hickory. well, none actually, besides my best friend(who went to saint). i'd love to be able to go to a bar with several bobcats [true] fans and watch the game with them, but i don't see that happening in good ol' HKY

Haha, there's like 3 bars in the whole town :facepalm:

There are a few kids I know at school who follow them, and there's actually a Saint history teacher who's a member here, but that's about it as far as I know.

[CaptainJackandCoke]

Glad to see you've got Bobcats friends at HHS. What's the Saint History Teacher's name, if you know it?

[Felton for Prez]

I got my pre-recorded Larry Brown message the other day. I hear there is a pre-recorded MJ message coming as early as this week. I like the effort.
