Bobcats are the Oakland Raiders of basketball. Al Davis and Bobcats owner whats-his-name Johnson play golf together at Pebble Beach on Tuesdays.

Rahd, you may not, but this is part of customer care and corporate identity. You win and lose starting exactly there. People may not miss it, it they don't have it, but they'll much appreciate having nice tickets. It's like 0 or +1. I'd take +1. As the company / organization etc.

Stupid comments...

What an ignorant article. You start off as if there really some substance to what you are writing about, then you give a fully plausable reason why things were done the way they were. You, Madam , are an a$$.

i think the blazers were using the same printer. they provided pre season tickets, but have yet to deliver the regular season. maybe they are going the extra mile, unlike the bobcats.

What, we're you expecting a free car or something?

I don't think anyone would care what the tickets looked like if the Bobcats were a strong playoff team, or if they had a history of success. The reason this is notable is simple: it's one more example of a poorly run organization at the most basic level. Not only can the Bobcats not get wins, not only have they hired the duo of Michael Jordan and Larry Brown, but they can't even get their tickets printed properly. Winning organizations have little mistakes glossed over and ignored, but the Bobcats need all the intangibles they can to look like they know what they're doing.

I am a Bobcats season ticket holder and I got the same letter. However, my only contained the tickets for the pre-season game against the Hawks tomorrow. I am sure the same thing happened to the guy in the picture, he probably just has alot of seats. The letter says that the Bobcats are working with another printing company to print the tickets and that if all else fails, that they would just print the tickets themselves. I think it is the same thing that the blazers are doing. The guy that wrote the article is a moron because he doesn't have all his facts straight.

I hope the NBA ditches that printer. I think the Suns use it too. Why have your tickets printed out of state? I believe that company is in Arkansas. There is a huge gap of months from when preseason/regular season games are announced from when they are played, but every year the tickets come like 5 days before the first game.
When Jerry C. ran the Suns he started the fan loyalty program that gave fans a choice of a nice little Suns logo type gift at the end of the season or a gift card from a local businesss for fans that had 90% attendance or more. Nothing major, but a nice gesture to say the least to have a golf club, watch, or leather bag with a Suns logo. A coupon for an extra pair of upper level preseason tickets was a given since they are impossible to sell at full price so that was cool too because I could give em to kids that don't get to go to Suns games.
What does Sarver include with season tickets for people like me that pay thousands of duckets every year to renew? Last year = no more preseason coupon or loyalty gift, but a nifty pair of orange sunglasses. This year = No preseason coupon and a whopping 250MB orange flash drive (w/ pdf on how to buy things from the Suns).
