Jazz Pitch '20-21 Season-Ticket Packages Ahead Of Restart

The Jazz began reaching out to potential new customers over the past few days "about the possibility of buying ticket packages for games at Vivint Smart Home Arena for the next season," according to Eric Walden of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE. The Jazz have to prepare as though the '20-21 season "will begin this December" as discussed in NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's return plan, and they "have to at least consider the possibility that fans may be there." One fan acknowledged that he was "taken aback at hearing the news that the Jazz are trying to get new season ticket-holders for '20-21." Jazz Exec VP/Ticketing Chris Barney said that the timing of the new season ticket program is when it is "because of the sheer volume of inquiries he'd received from Jazz fans about it." He added that his group of ticket-sellers is being "up-front with the purchasing public about all the possibilities -- the later start, the potentially condensed schedule, possibly allowing only a few thousand fans into the arena per game, and, indeed, perhaps not being able to attend these games they're paying for at all." But in the meantime, Barney said that the team has the "luxury of time to see how things unfold" with "plenty of opportunities in the interim to discover what is possible and what isn't, and to adjust accordingly on their end" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 6/21).
