Season ticket holders are rewarded
20% increase, but hey you get first dibs on 4 additional seats during the playoffs.
Your info is correct. Season ticket holders have first right of refusal basically 4/13 and the rest of the fans get to go crazy on 4/16.
Anyone want some of my 4 extra?
We’re using our two tickets for every game, of course, but we weren’t planning on buying any extras. If someone on here wants me to grab them some, reply with your email address and I’ll do my best to hook it up. No mark-up, you just pay cost—doing what i can to get some extra Bedgers into the games and the tickets out of scalpers’ hands.

Same here
I’m giving friends a heads up then if they pass I’ll have four tickets I’ll purchase and resell for a small profit (much less than my current tickets are on sale for, but I also doubt seats like that will be available). I, unfortunately, haven’t fully recovered my investment into the tickets and I’m still trying to fund next years season tickets so I don’t have to down grade.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Cool thanks!
I thought it was a little more than that, but I can’t find the info with my ticket stuff. That’s helpful! I actually may lower my asking price on my three seats because I thought i was being charged more.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Which ones are yours on the resale site?
I’m definitely flying up, just planning on some lower bowl tickets.
Classy move
Q: Is Greg favoring his knee?
Frye: He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors.
ok, Update on my plan
We’re just going to ask them for the best 4 seats they have, but no single seats. Once we have them, I’ll be in touch with those who leave their email here.

2 tickets would be so freaking awesome
2 tickets please email me at emanforlife@gmail.com

2 tickets would be amazing
From the back of Travis Outlaw's Franz card: Travis leads the team in monstrous thunder dunks, wins awards for post game interviews, and often gets extra points for degree of difficulty.
From the back of Greg Oden's Franz card: Nickname: Jaws. Has an insatiable desire to tear rims apart while cruising the open court, and was once interested in using head-gear for his profession.

Yes please! :)
Ha this is about the only thing in the world my dad and I have in common, I would love to buy two tickets from you. How much would they be, 300 lvl, like 50 each? My email is, CastleSuperStore@hotmail.com, if this works out I can’t say thank you enough.

Playoff ticket prices for season ticket holders
Took awhile to find this info, so I thought I’d post the info here: Playoff ticket prices for season ticket holders
"It's like, 'Urrrrrrgh!'" Rodriguez says, his cupped hands turning into fists. "It is a good feeling. Good feeling."
Okay, THIS was where i meant to reply
Seriously… there should be a “delete in a minute” option or something!
I thought it was a little more than that, but I can’t find the info with my ticket stuff. That’s helpful! I actually may lower my asking price on my three seats because I thought i was being charged more.

Season ticket holder prices
I wonder what face value will be. I think my cost is like 95-100 for a $145 face value seat. That’s gone up to $110 for round 1. Safe to say PA is a very very very happy man right now.
How much revenue does two home play off games bring?
by keepfryealive on Apr 10, 2009 9:20 AM PDT up reply actions
Resale
on my regular season tickets were $120. I believe the cost was supposed to be $85.
As the first round are still $85, then I’d imagine first round for the same seat will still be the $120 price.
Good question though. The blazers might raise that price.
Don’t quote me on actual ticket pricing though, i obviously haven’t been paying a whole lot of attention because it’s been more of a “here’s a huge glob of money you have to pay every month” and a bank account that cries itself to sleep as I don’t receive any of the money for tickets i sell until the END of the season. I didn’t realize that when I first signed up. Kinda hurt the wallet.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
If I wanted to buy tickets from a season ticket holder
would I have to buy all 16?
not sure exactly what you're asking
The season ticket holders had a number of options, but the deadline for those options, i believe, has passed.
The options were:
renew season tickets and pay for each round as we go (pay for all four games I believe regardless of homecourt or length of series. It’s up front).
Don’t renew, but pay for ENTIRE play-off round (all 16 tickets) upfront.
Overages are paid back at some later date after the season is over.
So, the deal would be between you guys, but those were season ticket holder options which, i believe, had to be decided in march and are no longer available. Again, correct me if i’m wrong on this but that was my understanding.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
What I am asking
is if I wanted to buy playoff tickets from SergioFTW, because he can get upto 4 extras, does SergioFTW, inorder to buy those 4 more tickets, have to buy all 16 games worth, or can he buy just a single game of 4 extra tickets if he wanted. So for example, if I wanted 4 tickets to the first playoff game, can he, (sergioFTW) purchase just 4 tickets?
i can buy whatever i want, up to 4 per game
and then it’s up to me to distribute them however i’d like.
"It's like, 'Urrrrrrgh!'" Rodriguez says, his cupped hands turning into fists. "It is a good feeling. Good feeling."
I think you are locked in
to each playoff series if you do that – so if they advance then you have to buy them for the next round also
Claire to Prez at 1:00 AM: "how does it feel to be talking to yourself right now?"
My understanding
Is that I get my seats (or comparable) when I said I wanted playoff tickets when I renewed. I already received confirmation on those and will be getting those shortly (I selected the option to have them UPS-ed to me since I didn’t want to wait in line at the game tonight).
Then I got the email last week saying that I could purchase up to 4 tickets starting 4/13 at noon and I believe, although am not 100% certain, that I can buy those in addition to my seats that I have already secured. Just like in the regular season when you can pick up extra games in addition to your season seats before they go on sale to the public.
If my experience (as half season ticket holder) earlier this year tells you anything, they will be very close to sold out when they go on sale to the public. I am sure they will hold a few back, but I was sitting in the uppermost corner of the 300 level for the last Lakers game that wasn’t part of my season when I bought my extra tickets during the “before they go on sale to the public” period.
I’m going to be calling in at noon on Monday to get as many extra seats as I can for my friends. If for some reason I get some and have any left, I will post here.
"Joel be swaggin'. Bayless be swaggin'." -B.Roy on swagger
Correct
they are in addition to whatever seating arrangements you already have.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
First of all, you guys rock.
Very cool that you guys make the effort here.
If either of you guys are going to have 2 lower bowl tickets available, let me know. I don’t mind going through the resale site, but if I don’t need to…
I have three and they're about 15 seats from the court behind the basket.
but due to the price i’m asking, You might want to snag some other seats. I think i’d collapse in a fit of guilt if you purchased mine for the price I’m asking. it looks like there are definitely some better offers currently up for sale.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
My season ticket holder thingy
I’m getting season tickets for the first time next year. I’m getting two playoff tickets for every playoff game, and at the end of each round I have to pay for them I believe. Maybe beginning? Dunno. Either way, it’s just a round by round basis depending on how far we go.
Also, I can get up to 4 tickets for individual games if I read my E-mail right.
Yup, that's what i read too
Cool that you could buy this year and they’d give you some seats for this year in the play-offs.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Yeah I was happy about that.
Was getting season tickets anyway, but when I found out I could get playoff tickets too I was stoked. My season tickets in 200 level and playoff tickets gonna be in 300, but that’s fine with me.
That's awesome
Being there is being there and frankly i think the fans up above are sometimes a bit better than the fans down below eating dinner in the front row while Oden dunks. I love it when players tumble into them and food goes everywhere.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Yeah I hear that a lot
I’ve only been in lower bowl once this year and we had a pretty fun group around us. Sadly it was that Philly game we lost… but the guys around us were giving Steve and Woody some serious crap. We also stood before any other group down there during the OT.
It's varied from game to game
Some games my section was roaring, and other games you could hear me yelling on the court (KG looked right at me as I was heckling him a little and calling him a big baby or something. Whining about a foul of course)

(KG looked right at me as I was heckling him a little and calling him a big baby or something. Whining about a foul of course)
Right there, you’ve already got your money’s worth for season tickets. :)
Yeah,
I only attended a few games, but they were awesome games, no doubt!
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Not yet
It looks like the preseason tickets are included, so that’s about 1000 out the gate that i’m short.
Most games sold but I think I had about seven or so I gave away. Most others only sold for approx face value or just under. Only the lakers and cavs sold for more for me.
Part of my problem may be that i have three seats and I don’t split them when i put them up.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
IF my tickets sell for the playoffs
then I believe i’ll break even minus the games I attended.
If we go to the second round and I can sell for the same price, then that will have paid for all the games I attended.
I haven’t actually sat down to do the math, but that’s the ball park.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Interesting.
I’ll still consider season tickets in the future. With me being so far away though, it’s really just an expensive way to have the occasional seat available, plus playoff tickets. It’s hard to do considering the cost.
yeah
I’m not sure how many will be available next year. I know my section and the white section are sold out.
If you’re okay losing a fourth of what you pay, but recognize that you can make more of it back during the play-offs and be okay if you don’t, then it works well. At least for the seating i have.
Plus, you get neat blazer stuff and can meet the blazers in person. it’s short notice though. I couldn’t go this year.

I need Finals tickets
My wife said we can go into debt to go to a Finals game if the Blazers make it.
This signature intentionally left blank.
Well,
if i have four tickets still available then…
I’ll DEFINIteLY be using my tickets for the finals. My boss is already aware that I’m working remotely for the at least a portion of the western conference finals and the finals.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
The Finals are a must attend event
Going back is never guaranteed. Just ask Dallas.

Agreed
I’ll attend the western conference if the blazers look like they’ll be wrapping the series up or ahead enough in the series that it’s likely they’ll be going to the finals.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
If they go to the Finals (and maybe WCF), I'll be begging for tickets on BE.
And I have a feeling I’ll just be one voice in the crowd.
(I already bought tickets for game 1… now to look for flights and hotel…)
That, right there
was the number one driving force behind me purchasing a ticket. I did NOT want to miss out on the finals.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
I considered doing season tickets and simply selling them all season
I’d give the non-sold tickets to a few family members who love the team.
But I just wasn’t up for losing a bunch of money, depending on how they sold.
yeah
I’m currently short about 4k, but that includes games I attended too.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
My wife gave full permission for the first round
We can’t go to the Clipper game tomorrow night, so she wants to make sure I get to see them at least once this season.
That's awesome!
be sure to check out your seating online to get the best seats for the best price.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Just finished. :)
I found lower bowl seats for reasonable pricing (very similar price to when I bought tickets in a similar section a few years ago). Checked the view from the seats (very cool feature to have available). Wow on the service fees btw.
I’m in for Game 1. I may also consider Game 2 since we’re flying up… maybe drive up for an M’s game in between.
(Too bad it’s hard to find more than 2 seats together… I’d take more family to it next time)
is there any framework schedule worked out
1 vs 8
2vs 7 kinda stuff? or will they schedule last minute?

"As for the depressed faces, the only faces I've seen at the Rose Garden that match that description are usually wearing Laker shirts, and they usually end up leaving early, after the Blazers have the game well in hand. At least that's the way it's been in the recent past. Then, like clockwork, they write comments to this blog, telling me I suck." -- Mike Barrett 4-9-09
I haven't seen anything yet
my guess is they work that out when they know who’s playing, but i honestly don’t know.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
I like the closer seats
they used to be called “VIP”. You get food with it (I believe you do now, before you could just order and pay at your seat), but the view is better closer. The Lexus section tends to be a bit further back. White and fuschia are the best seats.
Then again, if they’re twice as cheap, you’ll get some decent bang for your buck. Seats aren’t terrible, but I like being closer.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Yeah, I thought so
Lexus seats are really for people who like being at the games and eating and NOT jumping up and down like a crazy lunatic. That’s been my experience anyway.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
BTW thanks for making this thread
I didn’t expect the resale site to go live this morning, it originally was listed for the 13th.
The resale site is fully reliable since it’s through the Blazers themselves, correct?
It's as reliable as the blazers
the process is automated.
As a season ticket holder, I post tickets. When they sell I receive notification that they’ve sold. I believe the buyer receives an email with the tickets and makes null and void any printed tickets.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Ahh so no paper transaction then? It just electronically transfers ownership of the tickets to me?
Very cool. Never used the site before.
Yup
I’m on the selling end though, so I could be mistaken, but I’m fairly positive that’s how it works. What I don’t know is if the blazers tack on a ticket charge or something. It sounds like they do to the buyers, but I’m not sure.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
oh wow... that IS good to know
I’ll be keeping that in mind when i sell in the future.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Definitely. I groaned when I saw that.
It’s through ticketmaster, so no surprise I guess. My wife is onboard with this one (she felt bad we couldn’t go to tomorrow’s game).
I considered Stubhub, which has similar-priced tickets, but I figured going through the Blazers should be more reliable.
If your Stubhub ticket is invalid, you likely wouldn’t find out until the day of the event. Sure, you’ll get the ticket money refunded… but in my case, I’d have done a flight and hotel, and still couldn’t go to the game.
Stubhub
is more work for me as a seller too. I’m sure i could sell more and make more because it’s a wider audience, but actually managing tickets and the lack of being able to send it out by email sucked. they had a season ticket option, but based on what i read it was for the entire season, not the few games i could attend.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
oh
and not only do they charge the BUYER a 15% service fee. I know I get charged a nice fee on any tickets I sell for (don’t remember the exact number, but it’s no less than face value) over face value.
Blazers are definitely making money with the site.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
While it's frustrating, I guess it's hard to complain too heavily
They actually are providing a useful service, and you can be secure in that you’re getting valid tickets.
I imagine Ticketmaster is also making out like bandits.
Yeah
this is true. It does make things easier for me. Now if only they could get more traffic to their site!!!
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Oh okay
I was just going to ask you to update and confirm for me
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Note to anyone signing up for the Blazers Marketplace
Use a throwaway password, because the Blazers will send it to you in plain-text, in e-mail. Probably don’t want to have them save your credit card information since your password is open/
Is it just the full season ticket holders that get their tickets before the general public? What about half season and quarter season ticket holders?
That i don't know
I received an email notification. Check your email.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
I think it's just full and half.
I was going to do quarter, but I seem to remember that there was no guarantee of season tickets so I ended up doing half. Never hurts to ask though…

I'm willing to pay $60.00 for 2 Red Section Tickets to a playoff game (No preference on Game #). Email me at valuevtim@gmail.com if you're willing to sell your tickets.
The BEdger previously known as BR7formvp.
Are the ticket prices in the resale center after the 15% fee?
The BEdger previously known as BR7formvp.
ummm
I BELIEVE, and please correct me if I’m wrong, that the price listed is the price before the fee. When I look at it without logging on, it’s the same price as when I’m logged on, which is the same price I’m selling it for without the fee.
So, i’m pretty sure that’s tacked on right as you’re paying.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
That's correct.
The ticket prices you see on the resale site are before the 15% service fee is added, plus a $6 order fee (I’ve checked my confirmation mail and confirmed.). When you are ready to buy, you’ll get a pop-up notification of the final price, with a message saying it will be charged immediately. Click ok, and they’ll give you a confirmation after completion.
So plan accordingly when you use the site, everyone.
Tickets
please anyone have some cheap ticket i really want to go havent gone to a game in 5 years
if you can get me 2 so i can go with my dad it would be GREAT
tickets

Oh man, I am stoked
I should find out this week about a great job, hopefully i’ll get the nod before thursday and I can buy me some purples!
Frye-lock and I'm on top rock you like a cop
So..it's 12!
Any nice season ticket holders want to buy some extras and save me time on thursday from camping out? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE :)
I haven't called yet.
I figured the lines would be swamped.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Anyone able to get through?
Tired of getting the “all circuits are busy now” message and wondering if there is any other way to get through.
"Joel be swaggin'. Bayless be swaggin'." -B.Roy on swagger
I don't know
I figured I’d call later today. Seating isn’t as important to me as I figure it will be for some. They’ll either be sold out when i call or have a few more later tonight.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Although i did just call to check
and they’re still busy.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
I got through after 50 minutes
Only to be on hold for about 5 and get transfered to voice mail. Didn’t even get to speak with a real person. Still, nothing saying they are sold out.
"Joel be swaggin'. Bayless be swaggin'." -B.Roy on swagger
I would love tickets
Ive seen people post that they would be willing to part with extra ticks. If any of my true fellow blazer fans have a couple extra tickets Im willing to pay over face value, but I also am poor like every other person in our bad economy. Thanks for the help. shaneevenhus@yahoo.com
