Ruff, I'll drive in from Houston to hang with you and grab a few beers, and help you out on the ticket if you do it! >=)
I just read the article from the express last week talking about season tickets in the lower bowl going up 20-50% with the biggest changes about where you're talking.... corners and baseline, approx 5-15 rows back. Had no idea about the article until my father mentioned it on the phone tonight. My seats are upper bowl and I assume they're staying about the same - we haven't heard anything yet.

Actually, there are quite a few people who put a % down, but then they walk away from them before the payment deadline. Plus, since ticket prices are going up, I'm sure that some people won't renew. Come July-August, you might be surprised by what's available.
Done! That's the sort of thing I was hoping for.
All we have to do is find me a job, and I'm there. I've just spent two years studying sustainability (electricity in particular, but also water, waste, transport, embodied energy, etc) and will have a Masters in that when I finish my thesis. I have an undergrad degree in ecology, and experience in everything from teaching to admin to driving a taxi. If anyone out there is hiring (preferably not taxi driving), LMK.
Cool, that's what I need to hear.
I'm getting excited about this... now if only I could concentrate and finish this bloody thesis!
I got in right before the finals last year and ended up with pretty good seats (in the price range) in front of some tenured season ticket holders because I believe someone reserved and then released mine in the process... so the possibilities are definitely there. In the past, season ticket holder select-a-seat was in June-July where this year they are bumping it up to April.
I would imagine that courtside seats have a wait list. They do in Portland and San Antonio would obviously have more demand due to their recent success. I've been lucky enough to sit courtside a few times on my company's tickets. There is nothing better, imo.
I'm looking at getting a package for the remainder of the season.
Mainly so I can get playoff tickets...I'm sensing a Spurs-Pistons rematch.
And there's always these people Ruff:

Fantastic Company. They treat my dad like royalty.
BIG PLUS. They own a small portion of the Spurs, and a couple of boxes in the SBC (AT&T). My dad has been fortunate enough to view a couple of games from the box.
A couple years ago, my dad snagged 3rd row tickets behind the oppositions bench for my brother, his wife, myself, and a friend. It was great. The closet I've been.
Really you should check out HB Zachary. They are an unbelievable company. They treat you like family.
Arent you hiring a toyboy spurschick
Good luck Ruff!!!
In my experience there is a wait for a lot of seats in the lower bowl, however as Spurschick said people tend to get really excited at first and then back out when that first payment of 10-20k is due. I have had seats in the lower level for a few years and my dad has had them since the Hemisfair day, when the dust settles they can usually work something out, but my best advice is to get your request and name in early. Just a quick fact, when my dad had seats in Hemisfair we were in row 5 and they cost $27 per seat.
How is the view from the upper bowl? What's the season package going for these days?
I absolutely love it for the price. For the first couple of years at AT&T/SBC before I got season tickets, I'd always end up sitting like row 17-20 in the upper bowl on the sidelines, and it was alright but just felt SUPER high. For my season seats, I went baseline but in the front rows for a similar price. Sideline vs baseline isn't a huge deal to me. The seats directly below us in the lower bowl go for $60-ish a game, mine are mid-20's per game, and there isn't that much of a difference. The additional height helps see the opposite end of the court better, not to mention at less than half the price. This year, my tickets were just over $1k per seat.... $1005 or something... I have no idea for next year though.
