From the Blazers:
SINGLE-GAME TICKETS TO GO ON SALE TUESDAY; BLAZERS TO LAUNCH ‘TICKET ALERT' SERVICE
Estimated 500 seats for each game will be available initially
PORTLAND, Ore. - Because of increased demand for Trail Blazers season tickets, group tickets and multi-game packages, the team announced today that as few as 500 tickets per game are expected to be available when single-game tickets for all Trail Blazers regular season games at the Rose Garden go on sale this Tuesday, October 7, at noon.
Tickets will be available for as low as $10 at the Rose Quarter box office, at TicketsWest outlets, by calling 503-797-9600 or visiting Trailblazers.com.
"Our season ticket base has more than tripled in two seasons," Trail Blazers Chief Marketing Officer Sarah Mensah said, "so fans accustomed to acquiring tickets on a game-by-game basis should be prepared for a much smaller inventory of available tickets."
To assist single-game buyers in locating tickets throughout the season, the Trail Blazers will launch a new service called ‘Ticket Alert.' Ticket Alert will notify fans by e-mail when additional tickets - those held for potential group sales or sponsorship packages - are released for single-game purchase.
Each Monday, starting October 20, a Ticket Alert e-mail will be sent at noon notifying subscribers of new ticket inventory available for immediate purchase two days before those tickets are released to the general public.
The service is available for a seasonal rate of only $19.95, and will also allow subscribers a 10-percent online discount on Trail Blazers merchandise. For more information, or to sign up for Ticket Alert, visit trailblazers.com.
A limited number of season tickets and 11-game packages still remain. For information on those, or on group ticket opportunities for parties of 10 or more fans can call 503-797-9600.
Also, tickets still remain for all three preseason home games. Fans hoping to see their first glimpse of Greg Oden, Rudy Fernandez and Jerryd Bayless can pick up tickets at the Rose Quarter box office, at TicketsWest outlets, by calling 503-797-9600 or visiting Trailblazers.com.

Tue., Oct. 7 vs. Sacramento 7:00 p.m.
Wed., Oct. 8 vs. Golden State 7:00 p.m.
Sun., Oct. 12 vs. Utah 3:00 p.m.
