This summer, the Jazz have still been selling half-season tickets, but those sold out last weekNBAE/GETTY IMAGES
The Jazz have "sold out of season tickets at every price point" for the '18-19 NBA season, according to Andy Larsen of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE. The sellout happened during the Jazz' "playoff run last season, the product of a high renewal rate and exploding interest in April and May." This summer, the Jazz have "still been selling half-season tickets, but those sold out last week." The team said that about 13,000 “'full-season-equivalents' have been sold." Even when the Jazz made the Western Conference Finals in the '06-07 season, the team "didn’t sell this many season tickets." The team "did cap" season-ticket sales at times during the John Stockton-Karl Malone era. Now, the Jazz plan to "create some sort of a formal waitlist to handle the demand for season tickets, but that program likely won’t be created until October." The team "will avoid" selling PSLs. Selling 13,000 seats through season and partial-season packages "leaves 5,300 or so tickets of Vivint Smart Home Arena’s 18,306 capacity to be accounted for through other sales and giveaways." The arena's recent renovation is "part of the story here." For 25 years, the arena "sold 19,911 tickets to every contest." But new seats, plus "additional cut-in staircases for suite owners, reduced that total to 18,306" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 8/16).
