let’s all go as friends!!!

I for one wouldn’t be sad to see the streak end, as the Blazers front office uses it to falsely inflate ticket prices.

Considering how high the ticket prices are to see a team that’s not a top 3 team and is in a smaller city.

Simple. As. That.

That didn’t renew season tickets. Knowing that with the roster its same plan different year. LA is already playing too many minutes no matter how nice, big or how much you dress up a football player.

…that makes about as much sense as charging me to pick my pizza up at the store rather than deliver it.

For some games, they’re charging $100 for 300 level seats and the cheapest ticket in the nose bleeds is $50. Sorry, that’s crazy. It’s a business and corporations and sponsors will pay their prices, but the average real fan just can’t afford it anymore so they shouldn’t act surprised.

Maybe if the Blazers wouldn’t have let ticket brokers buy up all the tickets for the past few seasons, creating the false “sell outs” that we’ve all seen, (where 3000 seats go unused because the brokers couldn’t resell their already overpriced tix at an even higher cost), then maybe some tickets would have been available for fans that wanted to go to games.

But when every game has historically “sold out”, (i.e., tickets were bought up by the brokers), the average fan thought they couldn’t even get a ticket. So they didn’t even try. I’ve spoken to several friends that would love to go to the games, but they expressed frustration that the games were always sold out. When the perception is that the games are always sold out—which is what the Blazers want—you can’t be surprised when the backlash this creates is people not even trying to buy tix.

Then there’s the whole overpriced ticket issue, which many people have mentioned.
