    My company is going through a corporate takeover right now, and we've had some trouble keeping employees on board.

    Today my boss told me that, as an incentive for me to stay - he's going to buy me a pair of season tickets!!

    You bet I'll be staying! (for now) lol

    But I was shocked to hear that unless he spends $17,000 to buy season tickets for the Spurs, Silver Stars, AND Rampage, they won't sell him lower level seats. That's so messed up!! No wonder why lower level fans are often boring - you don't have to just have extra money, you have to be a rich bas . Blah!! So it'll be center court, lower rows of Club 200 for me - but I so don't really care lol. WOOT!!

    my boss has had row3 season tickets since the 70s.... i try my damndest last year to kiss his ass so he would take me to the finals games but instead he got some charter seats for me which was fine... i ended up spending $600+ last playoffs/finals on g4 suns, g2 pistons, & g5 pistons. it was awesome, too bad i couldnt spend my life savings this year though. 2007 here i come!

    lol@ you all

    I can't believe they refuse to sell LL seats unless someone s s out $17,000 PER SEAT to go see the stupid Rampage play - wtf! That's not even right. They need to allow the true fans who aren't filthy rich to buy those seats.

    and to those that want to go -

    for the games i can't go to, i'll sell the tickets to the members here for flat face value (NO ticketmaster surcharges).

    or maybe give them away to first timers and out of towners, etc.

    First and most importantly I'm thrilled for you!

    And is this for him to buy like a business block of seats? Or to make a seat that was previously unavailable for purchase as a season ticket available for purchase? If not, anyone know if this is a new rule? We moved to the upper level (I refuse to call it a "club") this year and never heard anything about this!

    National Exchange Services (soon to be Security 1031 Services)

    This was something to keep a current employee on board though - so one shouldn't expect such a gift if they get hired.

    Just FYI lol.

    The term they used was "corporate" something - even if it was just 2 seats together, the cost starts at $17K per seat for all 3 franchises, so it didn't have to be a block of seats (and that's not what he wants anyway).

    I don't know if that's a new thing, but the ticket guy said they wouldn't even sell us a half-season pack for lower seats. Bah humbug!

    my best friend/roommate who made me a Spurs fan (as I'm not a native Texan and moved here 2 years ago, and she's a diehard fan since birth).

    Her life dream has been to have season tickets. She nearly cried when I told her lol.

    Of course, the bad news is, your company's being bought by Mark Cuban . . .

    I'm not really sure what you mean by that, but it doesn't sound very positive.
