2. Convention center of 650,000 square feet of exhibition space.
3. 75 nonstop domestic flights and at least 20 international flights.
So, does Milwaukee meet these requirements?

"It's very likely to happen at some point. I can't put a specific year on it, but we make a point of coming to new arenas. So, obviously, there's other cities that are competing for all-stars. Some of them got in line before Fiserv Forum, but there's no question we will be here with an all-star game."

I agree. I find myself watching less and less NBA each year.
I’m not as geeked going to games as I once was and giving up season tickets going forward.

Gave up the season tickets a few years back and don't really miss it. Finally broke down and got Bally's and still hardly catch many games (plus the app is total crap).
Got some free tickets to the Marquette game, so the wife and I took our two young kids to their first game. 1 beer, 1 seltzer, 2 waters, 1 pretzel, 1 pretzel bites, box of popcorn. $70.
This is insane. It is going to prevent parents from taking their kids, which is going create a void in the next generation of fans. My desire to attend the games live is almost gone at this point. Had I had to pay for the tickets, pay for parking (I think the lot I saw was asking for $60) and had a second round of drinks or food, it would have cost us like $300. Nope, I'm out.

I have uppers but agree with MartyConlon on his notes. There are usually a few cash cow games that you need to debate if you want to attend or sell to make up for games you will lose on. LeBron and Curry are always safe high dollar games but they’re nearing the end too. Boston was a good one this year. But for every good seller you have 3 **** games vs Detroit, Charlotte, Washington’s.
I think there is higher risk in the lower level. I feel like on the secondary market the baseline lowers always have value and always think the season holder has to be losing out.
Early season interest is usually low. The week night late October/November games are a real tough sell. Once the Packers season is done, it does help. April is tough if the team is locked into the playoffs.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday afternoon games usually sell well. They seem to have a fair chunk of Sunday night games recently and those are like a week night game value wise.
I do think the tax thing is in play for 2024. That will suck as don’t believe can subtract losses. It just counts profit. Also the team does apparently monitor sales via Ticketmaster and limited to 1/3 of the entire season. I used TickPick more this year and worked well. Facebook sites were fine but the market there has gotten pretty watered down for the seller imo.
Also have a plan for how benefits are handled. I believe some of the perks were per “account” not tickets in package. So you’re buddies and you may have to figure out who gets what.
I honestly would not recommend season tickets. Outside a few games I think there is much better value on the secondary sites especially with them increasing again. I stuck around for playoffs but the first few rounds are starting to lose their luster with the team success and its kind of a financial risk to hang on year in and year out to hope to save a few hundred/game on Finals tickets. I did okay this year but only because they dropped my rate for this season AND the Lillard trade made people buy. Half the games I sold were the week or 2 after the trade.

Oh, i should have specified: i have had season tix for three years now. Im just thinking of making the jump to the lower sideline and I'm wondering if people are losing on them as much as i think they might be. Ticketmaster prices are actually pretty much in line with the uppers, relatively speaking, but this is Milwaukee. I just dont know if i believe there are that many people paying 200 bucks per seat on a routine basis.
Still, the thought of being up close for next year's playoffs is exciting.

Right. The meters expired at 6 so there was no problem. Extending them to 9 would be a problem. Interesting they passed it but haven't made the change yet.
