well sons its round 2 and the Spurs still can't sell ($5-7 tickets)

[BRHornet45]

ok sons now you can hate on me all you want for posting facts, but what is the excuse now? during round 1 the arguments were "well its only round 1" and "its because we are playing the Utah Jazz", etc. ... now the Spurs are entering round 2 and still can't get their fans behind them. as of right now there are over 6,000 tickets available for sale on stubhub with hundreds of them going for as little as $5-7. yes for ROUND 2 OF THE NBA PLAYOFFS.

the more disturbing fact as you can see from the screen cap below is that the Memphis Grizzlies only have about 800 tickets available for games 3 and 4 combined and the cheapest tickets are around $50 yet they haven't even got out of the 1st round yet! sons why are Spur fan being so damn cheap this year whenever they have a great team to watch? I mean Grizzlies fan are already shelling out cash and supporting their team despite not even being guaranteed those games, and Spur fan still has thousands and thousands of cheap tickets available. get mad all you want, but this shit is flat out ridiculous.

no son it just goes to show you how low the demand is for Spurs games in San Antonio. go look at any other team in the playoffs right now and you will see their tickets are in high demand. the Spurs are slacking big time.

Exactly, every one of those seats has already been sold already, people are trying to resell them now. What is your hardon for Spurs ticket prices? I go to the game all the time, ever see what seats they are for $7? Thats the last row of the ATT center, at the very top, they are horrible seats. Post the prices of the good seats and we will talk

[BRHornet45]

whoever owns those tickets are obviously having to take a loss in order to sell them. its more than likely the Spurs organization themselves or numerous local businesses buying out blocks of tickets and selling them for dirt cheap to help the Spurs fill up the upper levels.

son you do realize that reflects poorly on the fan base in the San Antonio area though? who cares if they were already sold? just look at how many people or businesses that own the tickets are having to take a financial loss just to get rid of the tickets because the demand is so damn low. most of those tickets being sold on stubhub for like $7 are more than likely a $15-$25 face value.

[Reck]

This is obssesion now.

[fevertrees]

TBH I want the Spurs to make the Finals so we can see $10 NBA FINALS tickets at the AT&T Center.

[BRHornet45]

sons as of right now the cheapest ticket at $49 for a game 3 in Memphis that isn't even guaranteed yet is a shitty 10th row in the upper level behind the goal. for $49 in San Antonio you can find tickets in the upper level near center court for game 1.

[Spurs9]

You fail to realize I don't care about the prices. The cheaper the better, why overpay more than you have to? Exactly why I don't buy season tickets, I can always get them cheaper individually. The rows I usually sit in are going for $150-250 each. I've sat in the row those $7 seats are in, and it was a awful experience, you could barely see the court.

[BRHornet45]

TBH I want the Spurs to make the Finals so we can see $10 NBA FINALS tickets at the AT&T Center.

son if the Spurs make the finals (which they probably will) I will fly over for a game. the flight and hotel will be the only real expense.

[Ditty]

I agree son, I remember I paid $70 to sit in the last row of the At&T Center for games 3 & 4 two years ago against the Mavs. Though against the Jazz, game one was kinda empty in the upper level, and in some rows there was about two people in about the fifteen seats in that row. I guess because the early start time, though game two seemed like almost a sell out. It's crazy how cheap these tickets are going, I guess that means cheaper final tickets except paying $200 to sit in the nosebleeds in the finals. :lobt2:

You can argue that the reason why people are paying high prices to see the Memphis is because that team is relativaly new to the POs.

Memphis was not relevant just 2 years ago.

The Playoffs are still a new experience to them.

Each team sets their own prices according to how the economic is doing at the time also so those are things to considered.

Maybe in a few years, when Memphis is a yearly fixture for the playoffs you could see a drop off in attendace, therefore drop in prices. Just saying..

no son all I said was that any of the ticket holders (whether they are individuals, the Spurs organization, or businesses) are taking a financial loss selling tickets for $5-7 just to get rid of them because the demand is so low. how can you deny that? you know damn well even the worst possible seats in the arena for ROUND 2 of the playoffs have a face value price of more than that.

That'd be cool son. Sadly, I live abroad and have classes. Have to settle for watching replays or streams :lol

[Sense]

Sam has been my regular buy for quite some time now. Seems to fall right in the middle. I've tried the IPA's but they are just too bitter for me. All the mainstreams(Bud Light/Coors Light/Miller Lite) have no taste at all.

IPA's are an acquired taste.. keep drinking them. Seriously.

First time I had pale ale's I bought a 12 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and I didn't like em, but I had to drink them.. after the first couple of beers it started to get better and better. Well.... title.


Beer in can sucks plain and simple. A beer should never been drunk on a can

Cheap beer in a can is bad yeah...

Craft beer in a can is arguably better than bottle.

Do you really care about this, son? Does this keep you up at night?

Still have part of that six pack of Stone IPA I bought a few weeks ago. It seems to be best after work...when I usually have one or two. If I'm going to drink into the evening I'll go with the Sam. Price is a big thing for me too. For the taste, Sam can get it done and it's usually on sale.

[tlongII]

This thread should be upstairs tbh.

[jag]

With the Spurs being the only show in town, I don't think the issue is that fans can't afford the tickets. I think the issue is an overall lack of demand for tickets and attendance. Which is really just lack of interest.

That's got to be somewhat discouraging when the ownership group starts looking over the numbers.

[cherylsteele]

ok sons now you can hate on me all you want for posting facts, but what is the excuse now? during round 1 the arguments were "well its only round 1" and "its because we are playing the Utah Jazz", etc. ... now the Spurs are entering round 2 and still can't get their fans behind them. as of right now there are over 6,000 tickets available for sale on stubhub with hundreds of them going for as little as $5-7. yes for ROUND 2 OF THE NBA PLAYOFFS.

the more disturbing fact as you can see from the screen cap below is that the Memphis Grizzlies only have about 800 tickets available for games 3 and 4 combined and the cheapest tickets are around $50 yet they haven't even got out of the 1st round yet! sons why are Spur fan being so damn cheap this year whenever they have a great team to watch? I mean Grizzlies fan are already shelling out cash and supporting their team despite not even being guaranteed those games, and Spur fan still has thousands and thousands of cheap tickets available. get mad all you want, but this shit is flat out ridiculous.

[InK]

Didn't answer the question. Why are there over 500 tics available for tomorrow's game SEVEN?

:lol:lol Cause ppl like to make money, pulling tickets for game 7 wasnt easy.

Those nose bleeds are 25ea face, the same nose bleed that are selling for aprox 50 to 70 bucks all day yesterday. Just because people who tried to profit are lowering their profit margin because they don't want to eat the seats and have no interesting in actually attending the game doesnt mean a flying fuck.

Its just a regular SH meltdown in the final hours of selling. Sales end today at 11 am, and game is at 1, and tickets are still well above face value, your bad bad bad.....:lmao:lmao:lmao

[HarlemHo 37]

sons its just mind boggling to me that the demand is so low for such a damn good team this season. I mean I can't even get into a mid-season LSU basketball game vs North Texas for as cheap as I could round 2 of the NBA playoffs in San Antonio.

Did you check stubhub?

[DMC]

no son it just goes to show you how low the demand is for Spurs games in San Antonio. go look at any other team in the playoffs right now and you will see their tickets are in high demand. the Spurs are slacking big time.
Son, in San Antonio, the playoffs are like regular season since the Spurs are there every year. In New Orleans and other scrub cities, making it to round 1 is like winning the Finals. In LA, it's photo op. Most of those people have no idea who's even on the Lakers team except Kobe. They don't even know who's coaching. It's a social event.

Hesh up now...

God bless

Spurs fans must be a bunch of Obama nut hugging pu**ies. Just like Obama does with George W. Bush, Spurs fans love to talk about the Hornets instead of their own problems with the fanbase. Learn to MAN UP and quit throwing the buck around yall.

[BRHornet45]

sons if it gets bad enough then the Spurs should consider doing a "black out" like the Miami Heat had to do a "white out" and cover the seats to make it look full on TV ...

[pgardn]

son you do realize that reflects poorly on the fan base in the San Antonio area though? who cares if they were already sold? just look at how many people or businesses that own the tickets are having to take a financial loss just to get rid of the tickets because the demand is so damn low. most of those tickets being sold on stubhub for like $7 are more than likely a $15-$25 face value.

A hornets fan worrying about the Spur's fan base.

Ok then...

[fevertrees]

WNBA regular season tickets going for more than Spurs playoff tickets. :lol

New Orlean Tickets are selling well right now I hear.

When you have a top seed team in the second round and fans can't sell them for face value, yes that is bad.

some Spur fan just can't seem to understand the problem. when you have a ticket that someone or a business paid $22 face value for and because the demand for tickets is so low that they have result to selling it on stubhub for $5-7 ... yes that reflects poorly on the fan base.

[fevertrees]

Especially for a franchise that has won multiple titles in the past decade or so.

Its like the threads luva used to start. He's a complete joke but his shit threads used to get hundreds of replies.

[BRHornet45]

sons that's the thing though I'm not "trolling" as some of you seem to think. I have been around this board long enough and I am simply pointing out facts. No other team in the playoffs right now have had as many cheap tickets available for their games like the Spurs have. I am honestly just shocked out how pathetic the fan base for the Spurs has been this season considering how good of a team you're fortunate to have this year.

some of you have claimed "well its just because it was the first round" ... that was proven to be false.

some of you have claimed "well its because our fans are used to the Spurs making the playoffs" ... that also has been proven to be false by looking at other successful teams like the Lakers, etc.

the fact remains that the demand for Spurs tickets in and around San Antonio is obviously very low and that is very odd when you take into account that the only other pro team they have is the WNBA Silver Stars.

[Reck]

The first time was like..ok he has a point. But it is trolling when you post a second thread about it. That's trolling, sorry.

[Ditty]

[fevertrees]

You don't see a problem with the fact your top seeded teams has problems selling tickets in the playoffs? Of course all of the games are "sold out" due to corporate sponsors, scalpers, etc trying to get a profit out of the tickets. Sad thing is the Spurs fanbase is either cheap or not loyal enough to buy these tickets at the reduced rates.

You obviously do not live here.

San Antonio is NOT a rich city by any stretch. The cost of living here is very low. Imo the seats are crunched up and the beer is ridiculously expensive. So, I watch it on the TV.

You will however see many cars with Spurs flags flying. The city loves the team. But as far as going to the games... why? There are huge parties at residences all over the city. My neighborhood has cars parked all up and down the streets during the games and big backyard BBQ's.

I guess New Orlean's fan cant understand the culture of a city and team. You think they might.

The Spurs can't control websites like StubHub or other ticket re-sell places for buying loads of tickets and then selling them for way cheaper. The Spurs could give a shit, because they still originally sold them for what they are worth. End of story....

[BRHornet45]

wow. the game isn't even sold out yet. damn

:lol Why don't you click on the areas? There are only 4-5 tickets per each lower level section, and they are all single tickets. The light blue color indicates a very low amount of tickets left. The dark blue means there are still a good amount of tickets left, which is in the nosebleeds. I don't know about you, but I don't buy nose bleed seats.

[DisAsTerBot]

lol, ive just been waiting on which round I'm gonna buy tickets for.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Not sure if Stub Hub is a good barometer for judging the price of tickets sold on the secondary market. I placed some of my tickets on sale through TicketExchange and they sold pretty well for first game. Anytime I can double my initial investment I am quite pleased.

But but but....it sold out :wtf:wtfGiven that the Yankees' home attendance is currently 81% of capacity and the Spurs was 99% for the regular season and 100% for the playoffs, I'd say it's less of a problem for the Spurs.

[rjv]

the day the spurs have to be run buy the league office due to financial ineptitude is the day i'll be concerned. but really, how many professional sports organizations get that bad ?

[Blake]

Sons some of us have real sons and daughters sons. Stern purposely put the Spurs home games on mid week at 830pm sons.

Sons Clippers get to have their game on a leisurely Saturday afternoon and lazy Sunday, sons.

Sons, the only two ways Stern can impact the Spurs chances of winning #5 are through paid off referee shills and by scheduling games on work nights in a blue collar, God fearing, family first town where he knows the home crowd attendance will be next to nothing sons

Son, even if the series goes 7, the Spurs will still have to play late Sunday, son.

Son, Fuck Stern, son.

From the buckle of the Bible belt, I say god bless, son.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/47417557


The company disclosed in its proxy statement filed last week that it bought $1.4 million in playoff tickets last year and $3.2 million worth of regular season tickets this year. That’s roughly the equivalent of 500 season tickets in prime locations throughout the arena or 2.8 percent of the arena's capacity.
