WTF-Season Ticket prices for 2011-12 season
So i just logged into my account online and saw that I have a new invoice for next season. My tickets INCREASED over 20%. I just left a message for my ticket rep. I have been a season ticket holder since Day 1 and I will not be renewing with this. how can they increase our prices and the team continues to play bad?
has anyone else heard about this or seen the new pricing?
I just checked mine. The are same price as the current season and it has Feb 18, 2011 as the due date. I've been in the same seats for the last 5 years.Originally Posted by bfer
Just curious, were your seats part of the buy one/get one free that they used last year?
No increase over here. Was grandfathered in on a promotion they did a few seasons ago and probably have the lowest season ticket price in the arena ($220/seat)
My prices have stayed the same for the past couple of years, but this is a big increase. i sit in section 117.
Werent they going to reduce most of the prices? Isn't that what Flavil said in the letter he sent out?
Yeah i thought the same
How much more can they really reduce ticket prices? My own season ticket prices aside, going to a Bobcats game is very affordable (at least for the ticket price) compared to other pro teams. Comparing the cheapest tickets available, its more expensive to go to a Checkers game. By my experience between box office and scalpers, you can get upper levels tickets for $5-10/ticket and lower level for $25-35/ticket. Thats pretty fair IMHO. Sure, you're not going to be able to take your family of 9 to sit courtside, but good luck trying to do it in any other market cheaper.
What I (realistically) would like to see is a new tier of budget menu items for the concession stands. Slider burgers, bag of pretzels (or similar smaller food options in the $2-4 range) and budget beers ie PBR/High Life on draft ($6-7 instead of the current $7.75). I've seen that at many other stadiums/arenas and it drives up sales volume for cost-conscious fans.
Awesome! I remeber those seats. Before I became a STH I always bought those $5 tix in packages from a dude on ebay. Very cool they grandfathered them. They went up to $10 when I signed up, but still, that's a great bargain to me, especially with the view and angle.
I'll wait 'til I get something in the mail to see about pricing, but I'm like teej, I thought seats were going to be reduced overall as per the letter/email I got. Let us know what your rep says, bfer.
"The Charlotte Hornets name has been a mainstay throughout the region for many years, and we are excited to announce our intention to re-establish this historic brand. We believe that its return will galvanize our fan base by unifying our loyal Bobcats fans with those who have strong memories of our city's NBA predecessor." MJ, 5-21-13
Mine ar ethe same as this year $50 a ticket in 103 down low behind the Jordan seats. Best deal in pro sports
I just logged in and mine are ~18% higher than this current season (section 225). I can't say I'm necessarily happy about it. I'd be interested to see if they could cut me a deal somewhere else in the arena.
