Just received the annual NBA season ticket holder survey. When asking about important factors in renewing my seats, 4 of the first 5 factors are listed below. First it asks how important and then it asks how satisfied for each. For the 4 factors listed below, I answered Extremely important, Extremely dissatisfied.
1. Current team performance
2. Ability to resell unused tickets
3. Ticket member discount over inidividual game pricings
4. The sense that your loyalty is valued by the team
For the first 7 years of being a season ticket holder, I would have answered Extremely important, Extremely Satisfied. For the last 5 years, that's not the case.
When it comes to team performance, I will support the team no matter what. I stuck with my season tickets through the tanking and I understand the injuries are killing us this year. But when I feel like my loyalty as a 12 year running season ticket holder is not valued by the team, I'm unable to resell tickets for even 50% face value when I can't go, and most importantly my "ticket member discount over individual game pricings" is actually a 2x markup instead of a discount, that's where @RyanQualtrics has failed his most die hard fans. Those 3 factors right there.

This is one of my biggest frustrations as a Jazz Season Ticket holder. Put simply, the team’s most loyal fans are being screwed on ticket prices, resale fees, and the value we receive for being STHs (to say nothing of the team performance). Please fix it @RyanQualtrics #TakeNote
Well written article by one of thousands of upset @utahjazz fans. Reminds me of this thread that I posted last year. This is the reason I built @beehivetickets. Season ticket holders are straight up getting wrecked. This is the 5th year of this. Not only do we currently have to list them at 50% face value to get them to sell, but SeatGeek's fees are just eating away at both the buyer's and seller's wallets on top of that. Something has to change. Beehive was created as a way for Jazz fans (and all Utah sports fans) to exchange tickets with 10% fees (compared to 30%+ fees on SeatGeek). We are currently running a promotion for 5% fees on the first 100 sales and once that ends, I'm looking at ways to keep fees lower. While the fee will likely be back at 10% after that promo ends, I'm considering a membership program where members can pay $5/month to continue only paying 5% fees. Not set in stone, just an idea. But when it comes down to it, fans should be able to exchange tickets at little to no cost. Yes, there are credit card fees and other things that need to be covered, but 30% fees or more are straight up robbery. Beehive is not built to make me money. It's built to revolutionize the ticket resell industry here in Utah so that the money stays in the hands of the fans, and we will continue to grow and inovate.

Beyond the fact that this is why everyone should be on @beehivetickets, perhaps SEG can do right by the fans.
This is now a 5th consecutive wasted season.
I support tanking, and injuries are unavoidable, but fact is, the most loyal supporters continue to get whacked.
Another wild example. Seller lists at $8. Buyer pays $15 but seller only keeps $7.20 after the seller fee. In what world does it make sense for the seller to only receive 48% of the buyers money?
To belabor the point:
2nd nite of a B2B tonite.
Selling my 6 upper bowl seats for $8 each.
The Jazz clarify, that they take another 10% outta that, so I take home $7.20/ticket.
They’re turning around and selling them for $15.
On each ticket, they take $7.80 and I get $7.20.

A Jazz fan buys tickets from another Jazz fan. 36.2% of the buyer's money goes to SeatGeek, and only 63.8% goes to the seller. It's outrageous!
Here's an example from the article for last night's Jazz game. The seller (a season ticket holder who pays $105/ticket) sold his tickets. Buyer paid $69, seller received $44. That's 36.2% of what the buyer paid gone. The seller received only $63.8% of the buyer's money.
