Single Game Tickets for Opening Night?


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

So, I had been checking periodically on the tickets, and I'm still contemplating buying season tickets, but in the meantime, I wanted to ensure that I was there for opening night...  Up through about a month ago, there were still plenty of single tickets left for opening night.

 

So, I check tonight, and it's only showing one game per month for single tickets, and the opening night game is NOT one of them.  Any idea what is going on here?  Are they literally sold out, or did they just take them off for the time being with the schedule just being released and all?

I feel like if single game tickets went on sale, they would have been advertised by now.

I have yet to see anything on the Hornets website other than pick plans and suites.

A few weeks ago season ticket holders were approached by the Hornets with the option of buying group tix for opening night. They had to be purchased in 25, 50, or 100 blocks. My ticket lady said they were selling fast and more than likely the general public wasn't going to have an option to buy them because they would sell out. I wanted to buy some in the lowers but they were already sold out or on reserve for season ticket plans. So all that was available then was uppers.

Edit: I should also mention that they were selling them WAY above normal single game value and they were on a sliding scale. The cheapest tickets started at $42 and adjusted based on remaining inventory. By the time I spoke to my ticket lady the cheapest tickets were $59 and those were the top corners of the uppers.

So buying season tickets or off the secondary market are really going to be the only options for opening night.

They have tickets set aside for the packages they are offering. In reality opening night is not sold out. As time gets closer to the game, the tickets assigned to packages will become available if the packages are not sold. You will see tickets available for the game in the lower level the closer it gets to the actual game unless every package available is sold out which will not happen. The only thing is there will be a rush for these tickets when the become available. Roaring, at the end of the day your talking to a sales lady. They are trying to move tickets so they will position their presentation in a way to create demand. Once you ask them about availability in a different way the truth comes out.

Take the single game rate for a ticket last year and then double it. This was what the ended up charging for playoff tickets to the public last year once the Heat was finally announced with the dates. I expect it to be roughly the same pricing for individual tickets as the demand will be similar to the playoffs. Once they double the price they have an issue selling tickets.

That's pretty much what I was alluding to. Tickets were on sale for opening night a few weeks ago but they aren't selling lowers because they're holding those for ticket plans. There aren't many (if any) left in the uppers, so if you're thinking it's going to be no problem grabbing some lowers for face value when they become available then you're probably going to be disappointed. There will probably be some, but I think the demand for this game will be much higher than the playoff game and that's with LBJ in town. This is a historic event for fans.

And my ticket lady has been my IRL friend for three years. I'm more than confident she's not trying to steer me wrong - she never has.

Was hoping the secondary market would be a little stronger honestly. Just a quick glance and it looks like the big night next year is when the Cavs are in town. Prices for that game is double opening night which is kinda heartbreaking.

I haven't had a chance to look....you're saying that the Cavs game tix are double what opening night is? That won't hold true.

Anyone that has an extra ticket looking for a hot date opening night?  :lol:

 

But seriously, do any of you know if ebay still has the open auctions for tickets?  I once copped two lower levels for a Heat game (the year before they acquired the big three) for around $120 total on ebay.  Last time I checked though, they sold out to stubhub or something similar and pretty much eliminated the chance of getting the tickets through an auction without meeting the reserve (which was pretty much face value).

    • A Quarterback in this mold is and was always going to take a long time to develop. I think he still has quite a bit to go.  We didn't draft him for his foot speed or arm talent. We drafted him to be the leader and commander of the offensive unit. and he is growing in that capacity on a weekly basis. Being smart and being able to make the correct adjustment and get your team into the right play and being able to get the ball to the right spot is the most important thing an NFL quarterback can do. You can scheme around it, you can simplify, you can try everything, but those skills make a dominant NFL quarterback more than anything else. More than anything else, that's what the Montana's, Brady's, and Manning's do. And those are the ones you want. What we are seeing with Mahomes is a guy that has the brains, unique arm talent, and above average foot speed. He may go down as the greatest. I don't see that in Bryce's future.  He's got a long way to go, but he's showing he's capable of being that game managing, offense controlling guy. While that type of quarterback is the most dominant, it also takes the longest to get them game ready, and if they don't ever get to a dominant level, they often don't pan out. So it is a risk. 
    • This is fake news as Trump would say. Nobody’s comparing seasons the nfl pundits ESPN first take si.com and other outlets are stating what we’re saying in this thread it looks like he’s regressing. Now to address your statement their leading their division ummm have you seen their defensive rankings compared to ours. You’re cherry picking which you can’t do with me I’m not a poster who’s here to argue I like thoughtful in depth convos. They have the 4th ranked defense put that in Carolina don’t you think we’d probably lead our division this year realistically. With the offense you’ve seen the last four weeks being average let’s just say with a 4th ranked defense how’d do you think we’d look or how many more wins would we have? You can’t say oh but they still lead their division knock it off it’s bc they have a terrible division and an elite defense. CJ is dealing with issues Bryce dealt with bad Oline and he has weapons but they’ve missed time and when out he’s looked below average having multiple 2pick games, the man’s had a 4 sack game followed by a 8 I repeat 8 sack game that’s a bad Oline leaving him to regress so Panther Bryce fans can’t pipe down we’re just stating facts bc yes they’re winning with a elite defense give a little more context to your statements it Matters!
