I did the same. It was a good move. Row 1, center court. Its going to be a small crowd tomorrow. :thumbdown:

There should be no need. The tickets available are right on the floor. They are all the same cost so there should not be any reason not to have good seats.

Speaking of season tickets, I see the Denver Broncos are considering denying season ticket holders the right to renew if they don't show up for the games - this includes selling the tickets to someone - so it's not empty seats they are worried about. So what if the Poke AD sets a rule: You don't show up to sit in your season ticket seat within, say, 10 minutes of the start, anybody can take your seat. That will fill up the courtside seats pretty fast.

I was concerned about the tables getting in the way on row 1, so I went with row 5 center court section E.

Did not think of the table. Oh well. I will just move back if they are. There will be enough open seats to do so.

Hate to say it, but this thing keeps popping up and I don't have sympathy for it. If I pay a premium for nice seats those are my seats whether or not I show up before the game, with 10 minutes left in the game or not at all. Plus, don't the Broncos have a waiting list a mile long for those tickets?

Haha right. Theres a line around the block every game with fans clamoring to get in to see this team but the damn season ticket holders have a strangle hold on the good seats but stay home. If not for them it would be a sellout every single game....

Gimme a break. If this team was half good the arena would fill accordingly but they're not right now. Thats the reason you see empty yellow seats not evil season ticket holders who are in cahoots with Burman to thumb their nose at this board.

Not making any claims about this team or last years team or the year before. The remodel and seat reallocation has ruined the atmosphere because of this attitude. Why allow seats to sit empty regardless of the team's performance?

But thats not what you alluded to in your earlier comment. I can agree to some extent that the remodel was great in some areas and weird in others. I can also agree that it is borderline asinine how the staff treats ticket holders and prevents people from sitting in unused seats. But I cannot agree with you that season ticket holders staying home is the reason we don't have a home court advantage anymore. The team on the court and the coaches on the bench are why we don't have an advantage. It is effort and hustle and skill and decision making. All of which have been in a sharp decline since Nance and Co. graduated.

I don't thinks it's Jim and Jane that bought season tickets that's not showing up for games. I'd imagine most people that drop working money on tickets will try and show up to as many as possible. It's the businesses and such that buy a chunk of tickets and can't get anyone to take the tickets to a mediocre game.

So you agree that the product on the court is the driving factor in why we can't get large crowds?

That was my entire comment. Not sure how that implies anything about the team.

There are a number of seats that will never be filled for every game no matter how many games we win. We have boosters that contribute large money but live far away and they had their choice of seats. Those seats sit empty and will almost always be empty for Tuesday/Wednesday games. That is where we have lost homecourt advantage.

That is much of the issue. Corporate seats that go unused because the company is from Cody, Jackson, Evanston, Sheridan, etc....

I agree with both about the seats going unused. If we won a lot more would have butts in them, but a certain number of them will never get used. We could have the #1 draft pick and go undefeated and some of those prime seats would go unused. It's a shame, really
