Looking to unload my tickets, and man, do I have a deal for you!
Looking to get those stains out of your white shirts? Thought that your new white carpet was ruined from that whine stain? Well throw that old shirt out, put on on a Blazers jersey and get yourself out of house, away from that trashed floor and head on down to the Rose Garden. Don't have tickets? Well here's your shot!
I had 2 sets of season tickets, but now am down to about 1/2 a season. In order to stick to the rules of the site, I have divided what I have left into tiers, and you just pick two games from corresponding tiers. This is the last of what I got, and they aren't difficult to get rid of, but I thought that some real fans might want a shot at getting into some nice games at face value again.
Now the tier system I will use seemed to work pretty well before, so hopefully it goes well again here.So you would have to pick 2 pairs of tickets from inverse tiers. For example, if you pick from the top tier, or A, you have to pick from the bottom, or D. A pick from B would require a pick from C. First to pick a pair of tickets they want in the comments part, first serve. I'll email you about details about how we go about the transaction. Please leave your email address when you post. The tickets are in 334 row A and have a face value of $49 a ticket. They are really nice seats, behind the Blazers bench on the upper level.
But wait, there's more! It would hardly seem fair if I was able to get rid of a bunch of my regular season tickets and leave you guys out when the playoffs come around, right? While I can't give everyone a playoff ticket, I will give away one pair of tickets every round for face value. In order to get the playoff tickets, you first have to get a pair of games from me. Then, all you have to do to get the playoff tickets is tell me 1. How many games the Blazers will win this year, 2a. How many points Rudy will average per game, and 2b. How many rebounds GO will average. The closest WIN total will be the ultimate qualifier, so if you're one game away from the closest person in that, even if you're dead on with points and rebounds, that's a tough break. After that, the person who is closest to EITHER Rudy's point total or Oden's rebounds get the tickets. If there is still a tie at that point, then the person who is strongest in the last category will get the tickets. If you buy 4 pairs of tickets (two upper level and two lower level games), you get to make 2 predictions. If the Blazers make it to the 2nd round, the 2nd place person will get tickets to one of those games at face value. Please put your predictions in the comments part along with the games you want. Do not email them to me, I don't want to have to go rooting through 6 month old emails at the end of the season. Make sense? I'm kind of confused, so if you have any questions please ask.
Anyway, without further ado, here are the games I have left:
In 334 row A (behind the Blazers Bench! $49 a ticket, $196 for 2 tickets to 2 games)
Tier A
Phoenix 12/18, New Orleans Fri. 1/2, Phoenix 3/26, Utah 3/3, Dallas 3/11
Tier B
Philly 3/23, Denver 12/23, LA Clippers (Friday)12/12, Toronto 12/27 (Sat), GS sat. 1/10, LA Clippers 2/22,
Tier C
Minnesota 11/08, Wizards Sat. 1/24, Minnesota Sat. 3/07, Ind. 3/04, New York Sun. 2/08, Atlanta 2/20
Tier D
Charlotte 1/28, Memphis 2/18, Memphis Sat 3/28, New Jersey Fri. 3/13, OK city 4/13,
Well, have at it. I'll try and update it as much as possible if there is any updating that needs to be done, but I am in Japan which makes it tough sometimes. Here's the stadium map on the Blazers website, click on 334, row A-G for the 3d view.
I can't wait until I am able to use these tickets again, but right now my loss is your gain. Let me know if you have any questions.

Blazers will win 49 and Rudy will avg 18 ppg
I would like pairs of tix to NO and Phx, 11/28 & 12/18. I’ll email you.
And the winner is … Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Remember him—the great Democratic president who saved capitalism from the capitalists by reining in their exorbitant greed? Forget the Reagan Revolution heralding a new era of small government, which turned out to be nothing more than a fig leaf for legalized corporate crime. The hero of the hour is FDR, as the essential wisdom of his New Deal is now embraced by most Republicans as well as Democrats.
You would need to pick
either one from the top and one from the bottom, or 2 and 2. I don’t really want to give away all the best games and then be left with just the bottom of the barrel ones.
Sergio will explode this year as the best NBA player ever and will take revenge impregnating all Portland and Blazers with the "chocolate" word.

This is what I want, for me and my daughter. Any time, will make it work,
I sent you an email.
"You're really making me feel good about myself, little man," says Oden as he starts dancing after scoring a goal. "You better come harder than that."
Into the void
For some reason it went to my junkmail box. I tried to open it, but accidentally clicked ‘mark as unsafe’, rather than the other one. Sorry. COuld you send it again?

"face value" -- Mr. Entrepreneur in sheep's clothing
So you buy season tickets (that are discounted from face value—I know because I have seasons) and then sell them for face value. Seems like a pretty nice scheme to make a little cash on the side.
It’s funny how you had 2 pairs and now are down to a 1/2 season. And you talk about how you’ve done this before… obviously a little premeditated profiteering. So are you a scum for running your commerical enterprise on Blazers Edge? I don’t think so.
It’s true that tickets aren’t available for face value anymore. Two years ago they couldn’t give away tickets… now they don’t have enough to sell. So you are providing a service to “real fans” by buying season ticket packages and selling them for face value on Blazers Edge. “Face value” in this case is below the fair market value, so you could obviously get more on Craigslist or Stubhub.
Nice work!
When I got these tickets
I couldn’t give them away for half face value. Fortunately or unfortunately I was in town to watch the games. If I sell these for face value it doesn’t make up anywhere near what I lost the last few years. As for the other tickets, this is the second time I posted about tickets on here. I got rid of a bunch of my lowers, and someone from this site and I worked out a deal for an entire half season for life. He’s going to be a sharepartner on my account. I also have another guy I split my 334 As with, 3 ways without the third guy.
Honestly, it does me a favor because I don’t have to put time into selling them on other sites. I also don’t have to worry about getting stuck with tickets if I have trouble selling them. Yes, I make a little money because of the discounts I get, but it doesn’t compare to what I lost a few years ago and even last year in the beginning of the year. I just want to keep my tickets so when I come back from Japan I still have my seats and some other people to lighten the burden. Also, I’m throwing in the playoff games for no good reason. If the Blazers make the playoffs, I am obligated to give 4 tickets away at face value, which is exactly what I get charged. I’m making a little, but saving them a lot and getting to work on my Japanese because I don’t have to worry about 2 pairs of tickets for 88 games.
All in all, once I get back, I hope I have enough people on board that I can go to the games that I want, get a little break on them by giving them away for under face value but less than I pay to make up for the dark years that I endured, and keep some awesome seats for myself.
I did run this idea by Dave before I posted. If he ever said I can’t do it anymore, I would have no problem taking them off. At face value, I really could make a lot more other places for row A, but I just want to keep my seats and not worry about the selling stuff so much. Besides, you seem to think it’s a fair deal. You just try to shine some light on something that doesn’t really need to be said?

Oh, the whole part about you being in Japan
for several years makes a big difference.
I just thought you were a guy that bought season ticket packages and resold them. I didn’t realize you were unable to attend the games, but wanted to preserve your seats.
Makes more sense now.

He's been posting for a while
that he’s in Japan. I’m about 99.9% certain he’s legit.
The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.
The pick and roll this year will emphasize "roll" followed by "dunk", followed by the wailings and lamentations of your women.
It's a shame I never had friends in P-town
that were Blazers fans. I always managed to find someone to go to the games with, but I was always the one talking them into it, usually having to buy the beer (and at $8 a pop, that wasn’t the best way to go about it). You see, I fell in with a bad crowd. Kayakers. All of their extra money went towards boats, dry suits and beer. Now, all of my Blazers friends are virtual. At least they really care about this team and certainly know what being a good fan base is all about, though I haven’t met any of them.

Season ticket question....
My buddy just got his and he briefly complained to me about them coming in green ziplock compared to leather/pleather case like last year- was he tripping or what is the deal? – Organization should be breaking out all the goodies with the upswing in revenue and interest – he also whined about lack of bobble head nites but those things are just bizarre anyhow.
Yeah, it was chincy
Honsetly the only thing you could use that bag for is to bring it to the supermarket to replace them giving you a plastic bag. Maybe the Blazers are going green. Maybe the strike had something to do with it. Hopefully they make up for it next year. They did give some nice discount coupons for the Coyote Club ($100 off at the restaurant, free overnight stay), but I have no idea what that is. I’m guessing it’s a casino. I don’t even cash in those stupid bobble head tickets. They just sit there and stare and me and make an awkward bob of the head. I never got the appeal in them.

Yeh...Coyote Club
It is a coupon for $100 in the restaurant, Free room for a night and $100 cash for gambling (or whatever). Great weekend. And yes…it is Spirit Mountain Casino.
