Despite Jazz being worse than Spurs, there are no $2 tickets available in Utah

[BRHornet45]

ok Spur fan so what is going on? For game 1 there were a few hundred $2 tickets available, several hundred $3-6 tickets available, and several thousand $8-12 tickets available. The only high priced tickets were a couple of court side seats. For game 2 it was nearly the same amount available except the cheapest ticket price was raised from $2 to $3.50. now here we are going into game 3 in Utah and as you can see their fan base is supporting their shitty ass team that is down two games to none very well. As a matter of fact the CHEAPEST tickets available for game 3 are $15.55 and $19 and there are only one set of each of them available. the average ticket for game 3 is around $55-$145 per ticket.

sons why are Spurs fans being so cheap this season whenever they have arguably the best team in the league? what more do the fans want? Not even Indiana's joke of a fan base is struggling to get support for the playoffs as much as San Antonio is. this is real talk and I want real answers, not personal attacks or BS speculation. wtf is going on?

well in their case it's a little different. the spurs are a team to get up for the jazz not so much.

[pass1st]

Son, maybe they just do it to make sure the arenas fill so they can make it harder for road teams

[tlongII]

Have you seen the MXP to USD exchange rate? That's why.

[BRHornet45]

well in their case it's a little different. the spurs are a team to get up for the jazz not so much.

son that simply isn't true. as you can see from the 2012 attendance report the Spurs and the Jazz were right beside one another ranking #16 and #17 in road attendance. neither of them are "a team to get up for" as you stated. these are just the facts ...

son this is what I'm talking about. instead of addressing the issue at hand you differ to personal attacks on my team. I am usually the first to criticize my team and fan base when negative things occur and I have a long history of doing so. however for you as a Spur fan do you not find it absolutely pathetic that their playoff tickets are basically being given away just to get people into the upper bowl seating?

Hey, people have lives right? If I lived in SA you could bet your ass I would be there, but unfortunately I live about 3 hours away and I'm a full-time college student with a job so I just can't right now. But as soon as I'm done I'll be moving to SA and become a season ticket holder. :tu And times are hard for some people as well. You never know whats going on in some people's lives. You can only control whether YOU buy a ticket or not right? So what's it to you whether other people are going to the games or not. You don't have any control of it. Whether the tickets are $2, $20, or $200, as long as asses are put in the seats. And the Spurs cant control ticket brokers like Stub Hub and other local ticket outlets from buying loads of tickets and then re-selling them for a cheaper price. I'm sure it happens in every arena and stadium in America.

http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance/_/sort/awayAvg

Son I think you misunderstand the meaning of "a team to get up for."

The implication of being "a team to get up for" is that it is a better team, and one to measure one's own team against. For Utah, this is certainly the case, as the Spurs are likely the last team that Utah will be facing in these playoffs, and they are already on the verge of falling into the 0-3 hole.

The casual Utah fans will be more enthralled with the prospect of coming out to see the last fighting breaths of their own team, as opposed to the casual San Antonio fans, who have to endure an uninteresting blowout series (not that any spurfan is complaining). The Jazz are not a "team to get up for" from the perspective of the spurs because the spurs are on another level. The fans understand that.

[rayjayjohnson]

sons BR just delivering the goods.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol that because there's no series for utah after this one, so they have at most 3 more games in Salt Lake

[ElNono]

son, Utah tickets are in high demand because they know these are probably the first and last two games of the playoffs at their arena.

[SpursIndonesia]

San Antonians are cheap Spurs fans in bunches, no doubt about that. I can understand if this is a soccer game in a developing world country like mine, but for a playoff basketball game in US freakin A ?? Yeah economy's bad, but your country is still having per capita GNP of almost 40 thousands US$, right ??

[ElNono]

If the Spurs would sell tickets for $10 and up, only drug dealing be@ners would be able to afford them, thus ruining the poor family atmosphere :cry

[Spurs9]

Who cares man? Do you have a ticket price watching fetish or something? The jazz tickets are all sold because the fans only have the opportunity to go to 2 more games before they are gone. Sure I can get cheap tickets to any game, but why would I want to sit all the way at the top? If I go to a game I'm sitting lower level. Not to mention the economy is in bad still

[BlackSwordsMan]

Illegals like elnono send 90% of their money back home spicbeaner fan's can't afford spur tickets. :cry

Son, you don't get it. In a tight economy, Spurs fans like to give back to the community. How is getting things cheap such a bad thing? I'm sure you're one of the few who goes grocery shopping without the bonus card because you'd rather pay regular price. When you shop on Amazon, you don't look for the best buy, because that would be like stealing from retailers. Just because Spurs fans don't want to scalp and bleed their fans dry, the're pathetic:lmao And what would you call Knick fans who charge $500 dollars for a $25 upper level seat?

[BlackSwordsMan]

lol@hornet fans not buying tickets because majority of them stayed in texas and raised the crime level

No

Your pic clearly shows only 1,120 total tickets available. Please explain how SEVERAL thousand of the 1,120 tickets available can be in the $8-12 range?

Why stop at several thousand? Why not say tens of thousands of tickets were still available? That would get people to check out your thread, you attention whore, you... :rolleyes

[BRHornet45]

yes, and i could be crushed by a meteorite when i walk out of my house, but both chances are very slim

true, true

but son the real issue is that no other team in the playoffs have the amount of cheap tickets that San Antonio does. it would be different if this was a mid-season, weekday game in San Antonio vs the Bobcats ... but its round one of the playoffs lol.

It's more to say from our season ticket holders, the people selling the tickets. When the SBC center was built the lower class was voted out of the arena, that's just the way it is. When the Dome was up the spurs had $5 tickets did that mean then our support was shitty? The people buy the tickets and don't want to go, it's the season ticket holder's priority.

well son the Hornets had 10,000 season ticket holders this season many of which sold their shitty team games during the regular season for like $.50-10.00 like many other NBA teams season ticket holders did as well.

now son get back to the point of this thread.

[BRHornet45]

since when is it bad to give tickets away?

son do you believe that is why the Spurs have hundreds upon hundreds of $2-6 playoff tickets available? because people want to give them away? this could be the reason. it could possibly be the Spurs organization themselves just trying to fill up the upper level of the arena to make it look like a legit sellout.

[midnightpulp]

Why is Spurfan getting so defensive? Who gives a shit?

[Xevious]

Two things...

The SA crowd isn't nearly as strong as it once was. The crowds in the dome or the old hemisphere arena were LOUD. Now not so much. Plus we don't sell out as much as we used to it seems. Attribute that to being spoiled for so long, or people just not caring as much anymore... I really don't know. It's a shame though. The city shows a lot of love and support, they just aren't showing it at the games. $2 tickets for a playoff game is strange.

Second thing, nobody here gives two shits about the Jazz since Malone left town. If this series were against the Lakers, Mavs, Suns, or even the Rockets, you'd see a lot higher prices. As it is now, the Spurs are just beating up a bottom feeder.

[Girasuck]

The Jazz don't use stub hub either. Stub hub is a secondary ticket market, and honestly is a better gauge to see how in demand tickets are for any event or team.

Well then, here's the point. Maybe Spurs fans would rather watch the game in front of their 50" flat screen HDTV with a fridge full of beer as opposed to sitting in the nosebleeds with a pair of binoculars, watching varsity pulverize JV. You won't see $2 tickets in rounds 2,3 and 4.

The tickets are being given away by the season ticket holders, buyer demand isn't dictating the price seller "demand" (the fact that they don't want them) is. And it's not $9 for beer. And the smart people pregame in the parking lot.

I actually think it was due to the times the games were played. Noon on Sunday is not a good time for most people in San Antonio considering the large hispanic population (church is a big deal in the culture). 6pm on a workday isn't good either. Most people have just gotten home and just want to chill.

I personally think it is bullshit that there aren't more people who will go to see the Spurs regardless. They have Saturday services, and what better place to chill and have a beer than watching your team crush another team. No excuses... GET YOUR ASSES INTO THE STANDS PEOPLE!!!

Do you really think someone like this:

Would be financially able and willing to pay more than $2 for a playoff seat?

San Antonio is far and away the poorest of the major central Texas cities. Most of the wealthy people in Texas reside in Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

I'd be shocked if I ever saw $2 playoff seats in Dallas, but San Antonio? Not really that shocking tbh.
