    Why would this add go out today when you still can not purchase tickets? I have shelled out for a deposit. My season ticket money is burning a hole in my pocket. I want good seats please help me get them. Today preferable.

    Thank you!

    I have a feeling this one is a fake. Someone must of made it up. I haven't heard anyone else found this on NBA JAM. SInce the stripes is totally wrong so I'll considered it a fake.

    I really like the V neck. I think I'll buy one of those jerseys when they come out.

    The one cool thing you can tell from this photo is the "cut" of the jersey. I really like the shoulder length of this jersey. Not too thin like traditional jerseys and not too full like the 76er jersey. In fact it looks very similar to the Lakers/Raptors style cut; a cut that I particularly like.

    Great work!

    Saw the Francis billboard on 610 near Gulfgate. New logo with the words BE BIG....Francis shown from top of sternum up in new home jersey going for a dunk. All you can see is the collar and the ellipses. Just a peak but I like...

    Thanks for all the comments. The preferred prices for season ticket and partial buyers was one of the biggest suggestions to come out of the Fan Council from last season. The Council was loud and clear on that one, and we listened.

    We also thought that all plan buyers would want to be included in opening night -- glad people noticed that as well. There is a strong chance that game will sell out before individual tickets go on sale; our best customers should get preference.

    Basically, we just want people who become part of the family by buying a ticket plan to feel their getting a really great deal by doing so. And we want to be improving consistently on this front.

    Regarding sales dates -- you can buy tickets plans starting today. Our staff has spent the whole day calling fans who put down deposits so they can nail down the final packages and seat locations. Our list of people who put down deposits is over a thousand names long, and we started with those who put down a full season deposit and we're working our way down to the 12-pack buyers. If you haven't received a call yet today it just means they haven't worked all the way through the list yet -- please feel free to put a call in.

    I actually called in b/c I was getting a bit nervous w/ the ad coming out & no phone call yet.

    As I understand it, full & half season ticket holders are seated first, then those of us who had bought the mini-plans last year & are renewing them, and then the "normal peeps" are seated.

    I understand that, I gave my plan, section, and seat preference and am hoping for the best by the time they get to me.

    I'm going for a mini-pack plus adding a couple of games in...
    Same two seats for 6-8 games, lower bowl for around 500 bucks is not too bad in my opinion...

    You have it right, RocketBurrito. That's the priority they're using.

    Another good point you bring up that we've found most people aren't aware of -- if you buy a ticket plan, even just a 6-pack, you can add on games onto the pack if you'd like when you make your purchase. (Our sales team calls it "Yao-sizing.")

    It may not seem like a big deal at first, but consider that when you add games on like this (1) you don't have to pay any service charges, because service charges don't apply to ticket package sales, and (2) you can add on key games like the Lakers or Spurs now before individual game tickets go on sale to the general public. It's a pretty good option to have.

    Like I said earlier -- we want people who buy a ticket package with us to feel like they're part of the family and that they got a great deal. The more we can do to create that feeling the better.

    Tim
