BUCKS REDUCE OR HOLD PRICING FOR ALL SEATS IN 2009-10 The Milwaukee Bucks announced 2009-10 season ticket renewal prices to their subscribers Friday in the team’s renewal mailing. Highlights of the announcement: § No increase in any season ticket pricing for 2009-10 regular season. § Price reductions averaging 20% have been made for nearly half of season subscribers in the lower level. § Free Parking for each game for all 43- and 21-game accounts with season tickets priced at $65 and higher with early renewal by April 10. § Concession Cards offering up to $400 food and beverage credit at Bucks home games with early renewal by April 10. § Flexible payment plans offering up to 9 payments thru January 2010 for season tickets—at no additional cost or interest. Bucks President Herb Kohl told season subscribers in a letter, “We believe our ticket pricing is the least expensive in the NBA and we have lowered or maintained pricing in most categories over the past several seasons.” Other benefits provided to season subscribers include: § Season subscribers renewing by April 10 earn 10,000 Midwest Airlines Miles. Use of the Midwest Airlines Master Card earns an additional 10,000 Midwest Miles. § Season subscribers earn a one-time Bucks Ambassador Club cash credit of 20% of new customer referrals spending on Bucks season tickets—reducing their own investment. § Renewing season subscribers will be automatically entered in the Bucks Renewal Sweepstakes offering prizes including a trip to the NBA Draft in New York City, dinner with Bucks Owner Herb Kohl, and a trip for two to Toronto on the Bucks charter aircraft for the March 25 Bucks-Raptors game. A winner will be selected at each game beginning March 15. Free parking for season subscribers (about 51% of lower level seats) is an unprecedented benefit. Parking will be located in convenient lots including the Bradley Center structure and the Ambrosia lot, both at 6th and Highland.
All upper level season ticket locations will remain the same in price and benefits, including a $200 concession card (full season) or a $100 concession card (half season). Season ticket prices in the upper bowl have been raised only once in the last six seasons. “The path that John Hammond and Scott Skiles have put our team on is very exciting. We remain in a battle for an Eastern Conference playoff spot despite injuries to Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd. Fans have indicated to us that they are really enjoying the games,” Bucks vice president of business operations John Steinmiller said. “Yet we understand the economic pressure our most loyal fans—our season ticket holders—are feeling. We have held or lowered prices accordingly and continue to offer many benefits including concessions credits, flexible payment plans and unprecedented free parking for our highest price seats. “We really believe that our reduced pricing—lower level season seats as low as $22 and upper level seats starting at $10—together with a strong benefits package make Bucks basketball a great value for the discriminating businesses and individuals seeking the most entertainment value for their investment,” Steinmiller concluded. Renewal (with a 20% payment by April 10) for the 2009-10 season automatically includes home game tickets for the Bucks first two 2009 playoff rounds if the team finishes in the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference. Subscribers are then billed after playoffs, only for home games played.
Information on new season ticket packages for 2009-10 can be obtained at Bucks.com or by calling 414-227-0500. Season ticket representatives are also located on the 200 or 400 level concourses during each home game.
