Wondering what it's like to have NBA season tickets? I've had season tickets for 4 NBA seasons for the Denver Nuggets, and in this video, I share what it's like to go to games, manage and sell your tickets, how much it really costs, and all the perks of being an NBA season ticket member.
Everyone knows that season tickets aren't cheap, and with 41 home games during the NBA regular season, it can be a lot to manage. From a season ticket holder's perspective, I'll give you some tips on how to decide if season tickets are right for you, and share some things that I've learned along the way after having both NBA and NFL season tickets in Denver and LA.
If you're thinking about getting tickets to sell because you're wondering how much money you can make off of them, I'll also share a lot about the selling process that you might not know or think about as an NBA fan interested in selling some tickets.

🏀 Had no idea about some of the perks that come with being a season ticket holder. Thanks

@davechung Год назад

Yeah! Some pretty cool stuff every few months!

@AJ-wo9gc 3 месяца назад

Hi Dave. Thanks for the video. I found it while searching for advice about season tickets, and it helped me make my decision. Go Pacers.

@davechung 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much! I’m happy it helped. You guys have a bunch of great years ahead for the Pacers!

@Vaedik43 Год назад

Im a season ticket holder for the Kings. Ticketmaster doesn't technically take a cut. They add their fee to your list price. For example you list your tickets for $100, that's what you get but the buyer pays a fee to Ticketmaster when they check out. Also, you do have to pay taxes at the end of the year on your sales so you have to take that into account as well. In Sacramento I can sell any ticket for a profit but you don't make a bunch of money except for big name games like the Lakers or Warriors and obviously playoff games. With the Kings they let you buy extra playoff tickets at face value before the public so you can re sell those extra seats. I don't know if it's the same for every team.

@davechung 2 месяца назад

Thanks for adding the Kings info! The markets are definitely very team-specific! Side note: I do NOT want us to play you guys in the first round!

Surprised you never made a video after the championship run I’m sure you made some decent momey

@davechung 5 месяцев назад

Tickets in Denver went below face! Even for the finals!

@carlosvaldes186 Год назад

Question for you Dave do you get the away games as well?

@davechung Год назад

Hey Carlos! Great question. Just the home games! So roughly 41 games per year, and then the playoffs, which you’ll pay for separately 🙂

@spacexdragonchicken Год назад

I've been a season ticket holder for the Sacramento Kings for almost three seasons now and the only free item they have given me is a fanny pack and a pin. They gave me tickets to a AAA baseball game in the worst seats possible in the sun, basically the seats that nobody buys. I'm a basketball fan, not a baseball fan.

@davechung Год назад

Oh man, that sounds like my experience with NFL season tickets. I got nothing but a 2-win season. It varies so much by market, but I’m surprised that the Kings don’t do more for you guys since it’s not a giant market!

@calogerogiacomarra5161 Год назад

Do u still get access to your seats for playoffs if you only do the 10 day weekend plan. How does it work when it comes playoff time are your seats more expensive ?

@davechung Год назад

Great question! For the Nuggets, if I remember right, I think you get access slightly earlier than the general public when you have any kind of package - worth asking a rep! For season tickets, I just get my same seats. They price the tickets per round for the playoffs (more expensive the deeper the team goes), but those are really easy to make money from if you don’t go yourself.

@hurigoTV Год назад

I bought a clippers season tix...but seems like it's cheaper to buy from 3rd party when I calculate them.

@andypoon82 Год назад

What about the playoffs tickets?

@CallmeBatty3 Год назад

Right, I don't understand how these tickets are for resell but listed cheaper than arena prices

@davechung Год назад

For the playoffs, I got my tickets for about 1/3 to 1/4 of the face value. My Nuggets Finals tickets in my season seats were $270, but the face value was around $990.

@isaimireles9694 Год назад

big question how or where do you buy season tickets ? im looking to buy some spurs tickets right now that they aren't doing so good hopefully when they get better players ill be ready with my tickets

@davechung Год назад

Just straight from your team! www.nba.com/spurs/ticketmemberships

@alogic5312 Год назад

I tried to purchase season tickets for section 110/116 or court side they said unavailable which I get but told me I would have to purchase any tickets in level 2 or three to get on some kind of wait list. I guess I'll have to continue purchasing through gametime

@alogic5312 Год назад

forgot to mention I live in Denver as well

@warhammerfaction Год назад

Maybe courtside is bought out you should be able to put a deposit down

@thebest545 Год назад

Which is better between last row in the corner but the lower level or first row upper level but you are center court? Debating if I want to give it a shot for next season.

@davechung Год назад

I think the lower level is easier to sell, and I like being closer to the court for games. It feels a little more like you’re in it!

How to inquire or to get in the season tickets. Im trying but I don’t know how to start to get a season ticket.

@davechung 10 месяцев назад

I’d start with your team’s website. There’s probably a tickets section with links to get connected with a season ticket rep. Depending on your team, they might be sold out since the season is starting soon, but it’s worth looking!

@AccountabilityFit 10 месяцев назад

When buying more expensive seats like court side or section 16, etc. are there extra incentives you can negotiate? They come with benefits, but can you negotiate extra benefits since the seats are expensive?

@davechung 10 месяцев назад

For the really expensive seats, extra benefits come automatically. I think in previous years, they got a special dinner and Q&A with the GM and other special benefits. I’m not sure what else you can negotiate, but it’s worth a shot! For my seats, my account manager hooked me up with a bag full of swag to get me to close the deal 😂 so I’m sure there’s some wiggle room!

@warhammerfaction 5 месяцев назад

I was able to use my trade in credit towards my courtside tickets

@dennislovatto4638 Год назад

Can you sell the ADA seats in 379. They are the folding seats.

@davechung Год назад

Hey Dennis! That’s a great question. I just looked at the next few games, and I didn’t see any tickets on sale from resellers, so they might not be sellable. It’d be a great question for a season ticket rep to know for sure!

How do playoff tickets work for season ticket holders

@davechung 6 месяцев назад

For the Nuggets, there are two options to get “your seats” for the playoffs. You can pay as you play, round by round. If you’re the home team, they’ll charge you for 4 games at a time (or 3 if you’re away), and then refund any that aren’t played. Or you can buy the full playoff strip all at once, and they’ll refund any games that aren’t played. Just depends on how you want to budget, but those tickets are heavily discounted in your season seats. I’m also able to get up to 6 additional tickets per game on a first come, first serve basis at face, which makes them about 3x more expensive than the ones I get with my season tickets. I rarely buy those.

@user-yb5cy2sz6g Год назад

What is a price range for 10 games versus a season ticket?

@davechung Год назад

For us, the price per ticket was a few dollars higher (not by a lot), but the big savings was of course only buying a quarter of the tickets.

@OneCreated Год назад

Wait i just put 500 dollar deposit for the denver nuggets, what is the price per game or is it just a pay upfront for access to all 44 games. Got the 100 level tickets

@OneCreated Год назад

Also is it regular season only or playoffs too

@davechung Год назад

It’s variable pricing based on the opponent and day of the week. It’s only for the regular season, but you’ll have access to your same seats for the playoffs at much better prices than face. You can choose to pay as they play or pay for full rounds at a time (unplayed games are automatically refunded).

@OneCreated Год назад

@@davechung thanks!

@msallegrad Год назад

I would like to learn how to buy & resell tickets, but I'm not a sports fan, and I probably won't go to a game.

@BombTrady Год назад

He’s talking about how his city/state doesn’t love the nuggets but they win the chip

@davechung Год назад

I filmed this a year ago, but I went to the finals for 1/4 of the price with my season tix, so we good! 😂🏆

@ytorres508 Год назад

can i make profit off season tickets such as lakers or dodgers tickets ?

@davechung Год назад

Definitely depends on how the team is doing (playoffs are huge!), what seats you get, and where you live. It’s much easier to turn a profit when a team is playing well and selling out every game.

@thebest545 Год назад

The tough part with trying to turn a profit off of season tickets is that everyone wants them while the team is good. That normally means you need to get in while the team is bad and hope they turn it around quickly. If you enjoy the team in your market and plan on going to a lot of games then go for it. Then any profit will be a bonus.

@emilydeleon2007 Год назад

Now I know your tickets were not super expensive but still an investment, do they offer you a payment plan or you pay in full? Or how does that work ? Also have you ever had any trouble selling any of the tickets? Or are there rules or a reason why you couldn’t resell ?

@Lowcut-Media Год назад

@@emilydeleon2007 I have season tickets for the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit lions and both of them allow a payment plan. One is 6 payments one is 8 payments
