Kohl Says Bucks' Ticket Pricing Least Expensive
In NBA, Intend To Lower Prices Next Season |
The Bucks plan to "either cut or hold the line on season-ticket packages next season" at Bradley Center, according to Don Walker of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. In a letter to season-ticket holders, U.S. Sen. and Bucks Owner Herb Kohl "acknowledged the tough economic conditions." Kohl also in the letter wrote the Bucks' ticket pricing was the least expensive in the NBA and "we have maintained the same pricing in most categories over the past several seasons. Having said that, we intend to lower your ticket price next season, and we are making significant benefit improvements in your season ticket plan that reflect the difficult challenges and choices that face nearly every individual and business." Included in the team's new price plan "will be price reductions averaging 20% for nearly half of the season subscribers in the lower bowl of the Bradley Center." There also will be "free parking for each game for all 43- and 21-game accounts with season tickets priced at $65 and higher with early renewal." Bucks VP/Business Operations John Steinmiller said that the franchise "hoped that, by lowering ticket prices, the Bucks would be able to maintain its current season-ticket base and build toward the future by adding more customers" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 3/14).
