Clippers Going With Variable Pricing?

by Clipster Hipster on Sep 24, 2009 10:36 AM PDT

Today is the presale for season ticket holders. I logged on to browse and around and it appears that the Clippers are adopting the variable pricing "premium game" strategy used by the Angels, Yankees and some other professional teams. For instance, if you request seats in the 200 section for say, Minnesota, the price is $40 each. For Dallas, its $50. For the Lakers or Cavs, it jumps to $75. The "face value" listed for tickets in the 200 section on the Clipper website is $60, so it looks for the majority of the teams you end up with a discount over face value and for the elite you have to pay extra.

Ticket Exchange

You can try the Ticket Exchange on Clippers.com . You can buy directly from STH’s and get some good seats at various prices.

Clippers.com

Last year I got quite a few offers during the season for $5 tickets sent to me in email. Not sure how I got on their email list, but if you can figure out how you might want to sign up. Even got a 2 for 1 deal late in the year. I assume it was because they were so bad that no one wanted to go, but still worth it for cheapy tix.

Well hopefully they’ll be a bit better this year so they don’t have to give seats away, but for us fans it was a good deal. I got front row seats on the upper level at just about mid court for $5 a pop. I think they are normally like $40 tickets.
