move into the empty lower level at the half.
Uff da, I almost forgot the economic realities this team faces in the hopeful pre-season glow.
Now this doesn't make any sense.
Why are they giving away tickets to the precious few games that they actually might have had sell out? There are what, 40 Target stores on that list, with, say, 20 packages to each game: 40 × 20 × 4 x 3 = 9600 tickets! That’s a lot of eminently sellable merchandise to be giving out for free.
What’s more, I just got an email advertising a $45 ticket package featuring the three games above as well as a Suns game. I was going to buy it, but now I guess I’ll just do this. Who’s in charge of this operation?
Yup. They just want butts in the seats, I guess.
I did it last year too, but only got the 25$ tickets.
Last Year
I got 4-$125 seats to the Opener for Free.
Question for you or LoveTo:
I called a few stores in my area trying to get information, but they weren’t overly helpful. One Target rep said that they’ve had a line at the door before they opened in years past. Is this what you guys did? I’d love to see KG and LeBron for free, but I’d prefer not to get there at 7:30 AM and wait outside in the cold to make it happen.
Last season at least...
I woke up at 10:00 A.M, read in a little “Etc.” bit at the bottom of a Wolves story that I could get free Wolves tickets at Target, drove over to Target, asked the Customer Service lady: “Hey, I saw something in the newspaper about Wolves tickets, do you guys still have those?”
The lady looked confused. Then the other lady behind the counter said “Oh, yeah, we’ve got those.” Handed me an envelope with two tickets in them. I’m pretty sure I was the first one. About an hour or so later, my brother and then my mom after him went and did the same thing. So to answer your question, no, there was nothing even remotely resembling a line out the door.
Two desperate parties unite . . .
. . . to try to generate their own green shoots. Target gets a few extra people in the stores this Saturday, and pays a few bucks to the Wolves for tickets that probably wouldn’t have been sold otherwise. The Wolves get some cash, plus a cut of the concessions.
The team also avoids some of the ignominy of not being able to organically fill the place up for the opener, LeBron, or KG’s return.
And yes, this is the first time “ignominy” has been used on Canis Hoopus. I’d like to thank God, my family, and my agent for this achievement.
Well I'll be...
One would think it would be a highly useful word for characterizing any number of Wolves-related situations.
