Just got a call from the Bulls...

MY NAME CAME UP FOR SEASON TICKETS>...YAY!

Except, I really dont remember putting my name in for Season tickets???? I used to have season tickets, but they are one of the worst values in pro sports due to the "Club level" fee of $1000 extra added to the tickets. So I didnt renew them.

Sounds like some people are jumping ship if I am getting a call?

They used to call me & I never had season tickets. Would just buy tickets once or twice a year, especially if they were home for my bday. Somehow I got on their list.

That place always seems full. I'm surprised they do this.

They do a good single game ticket sale as well, but like any team would always rather have season tickets sold.

Going to the UC is pretty cool. Even when they sucked, that Jordan effect was amazing! The 6 years after left was one of the mst profitable times for organization. If you remember one year they had to overpay Will Perdue just to make the Salary cap floor!

They put on a good show all around for both teams....will always do OK....also helps to own the place outright...

I don't see the value unless the team is great.

Honestly, I never got the season ticket thing unless its a write off or the tickets are your actual side business in scalping. Anyone that would go to 41 basketball or hockey games and 81 baseball games is insane. The closest I came was the 8 game packs the Hawks had long ago. That was fine.

Lots and lots of value even when bad.

Like I said, my group sold off our season tickets this year for double face. Firm tickets are given to the best clients, who are falling all over themselves in appreciation. Pre seasons get donated to charity auctions and they are top sellers. Good from snout to tail.

That 200 level is a real treat to sit in. I don't go to many games but I love being on that level, especially for concerts

I like the seats behind the basket. They are a better value.

I want Blackhawks tickets. Bears would be the best value but I don't think I'd ever use them.

I've had sox season tickets for 15 years. The last 10 I've been able to write some of it off. Even if I couldn't I'd still buy them. My family enjoys our time at he park.

I always thought it was easier to be a season ticket holder when you were single. I would expect the wife to complain about it.

unless you're loser al yellon or camera whore pink green hat guy you don't go to all the games.

i believe most are firms, sth groups or if solo they're selling off a good chunk to recoup outlay.

What's the story with Yellon? I've seen shots taken at the guy not only here but on other forums as well though no one ever really goes into too much detail.

Addison Russell is a fine prospect, for sure, but that's way too small of a payoff, in my view, for Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel, two major-league starting pitchers.


plus he gets all high n mighty and catty b/c he's a STH.

I started with one ticket as a single guy.
Up to 4 now.
The wife love going so it's pretty nice. She even requests to spend her birthday and Mother's Day at the park. Not gonna fight that one bit. I'm pretty lucky.

Bears games are a lot of fun. It's an event.

CHICAGO BULLS UNVEIL NEW COURT DESIGN

Posted: Sep 23, 2015

September 23, 2015 - The Chicago Bulls today unveiled an updated court design that will debut on October 6 when the team faces the Milwaukee Bucks in its first pre-season game of the 2015-16 season.

The iconic bull head logo at center court has increased in size by 75 percent and the image of a basketball that was previously behind the logo has been removed. The “CHICAGO BULLS” text on the endlines has been changed to the font used in the official Bulls logo to make the court design more consistent with the Bulls brand, and the same font has been applied to the “Bulls.com” and the “@ChicagoBulls” text on the north apron of the court.

The lines on the court have been changed from red and white to all black to emphasize the bold colors of the Bulls brand.

The four stars from the City of Chicago flag have been added to the south apron of the court to highlight the team’s civic pride and incorporate the “Chicago Basketball” branding campaign.


I like it. Never cared for the basketball behind the logo. I always preferred the old Stadium look. The Bull have one of the best logos in all of sports, emphasize that shit! (Bears should do the same. Incorporate the Bear head)

Also, the City stars are a nice touch.

Yep, looks good. The court was long overdue for a redesign.

Bulls season tickets are such a waste of money. I'm glad we got out a few years ago...you can never sell those tickets, even for face, even when the Bulls are good. Rose getting drafted kept me in for a season or two but after it made no impact, we were out.
