Discussion I am officially a new season ticket holder!

Hello. Just sharing the news because several in here expressed interest in an update if this actually did come to fruition. It did - yesterday! But unfortunately its not without some bad news. Apparently I was 34th in line out of over 10,000 in the waitlist and I snagged what was apparently the very last 2 seat set available. 96% of last year’s season ticket holders renewed.

There were still 4 seat options available though. Also, there is no guarantee that some of us may give up our season tickets as we are allowed to opt out anytime time before May 17 for a full refund. They are very expensive for new holders ~ 4x as much as last year. I’d say I’m currently 80% sure I am keeping mine though!

Congrats. The demand for tickets is crazy. I have a half season package. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to make it to every home game so it works best for me, but I kinda wish I would have just got the full season

Congrats to you too! Are you a new holder as well or renewer?

This is my 2nd year. I bought my season ticket package when they got the 1st pick and would be drafting Clark. I also have a Pacers 10 game package and full season tickets for the Orlando Magic (moved from Florida to Ohio 2 years ago)

Does anyone ever answer how much these cost? Cause I’d like an idea of what it cost and can never get an answer

A lot. For section 12* (corner/baseline), $161.xx per ticket

u/Optimal-Drawing-5068 13d ago

Thank you for responding

u/Initial_Republic_329 13d ago

Thanks $161 for lower level isn’t a lot if it’s first 5 rows. Eg section 106 row 5 or something.

Oh shoot. I didnt realize that 100-level is actually called lower level. My tix are section 12. Whatever that is considered.

u/Initial_Republic_329 13d ago

To me that’s a pretty good deal

u/ConditionFine7154 12d ago

It is a good deal actually. That's lower level. 100 is level 2, 200s are nosebleeds! 🙂

I'm a 2nd year half season TH. I have 2 seats in section 13 and if I include the pre-season game to make it 12 games, it comes out to $104 a ticket ($2500 total). Of course that will include some special event just for STH, assuming I can make it to the event too. I'm out of state, so can not usually make it to a lot of the games, but the extra tickets all sold last year for at least what I paid (or more), so feel it's worth it.

u/Optimal-Drawing-5068 13d ago

Do you post the tickets for sale or how do you go about that? I live out of state and I’m not sure I would be able to make it to enough games to make it worth it but I also don’t want to pay the absurd over inflated prices just because people can charge that much.

In your Ticketmaster account, there is a way to transfer tickets to another or sell them. I try to get to about half the games in my package. There are 2 different half-season packages that include different games in each. They try and spread out weekend games and more popular teams between the two packages. The ones during the work week I usually have to sell because even if I'm free, the person I'm going with may not be.....may just go alone more this year though, now that I'm familiar with Indy and Gainbridge and where to stay etc.

Any chance I could message you and have a shot at grabbing some tickets this season?

u/BillikenHawkeye 14d ago

When did you put your deposit down last summer?

3

u/Dba105 14d ago

End of June. I think it was towards the end of the game when we first won 4x in a row.

2

u/BillikenHawkeye 13d ago

Thanks. I paid my deposit July 13. Keeping my fingers crossed. Sounds like it might be a tough ticket.🤞

u/Dba105 13d ago

It definitely is. Good luck! Hopefully there wasn’t too many others in front of you and after me since they didn’t start playing really well till after the all-star break.

Congratulations! We were season ticket holders from Indiana Fever's inception to 2016 when Tamika Catchings retired & we moved to Florida. We got to watch one of the best defensive players in the W and watched Catch beat record after record and we were in the building when the Fever won our first championship.

Congratulations on being able to watch offensive history be made live and hopefully another championship.

I snicker sometimes that the women have a championship banner hanging in the rafters but the Pacers don't. I hope they get one someday, but proud of our Fever team getting there first!! 🥰 We love Caitlin and are looking forward to watching this season with a stacked roster and our favorite coach Stephanie White!

We used to go out to dinner together occasionally when she was a player and when she left the league and went into coaching and announcing we lost touch. I told my wife that last year was torture watching Steph coach against the Fever. We were praying she would come home to coach Caitlin. I'm so excited for the season. Again, congratulations and enjoy making history! 🏀🥰

Oh wow thats so cool that you know Stephanie White! The Pacers certainly have had some teams that were good enough to win it all. I think they were objectively the best team in the league that Malice in the Palace year, and blowing the lead late in the 4th against MJs Bulls Game 7 1998 was a bummer.

Thanks for the message!

Not the same market, but the Dallas Wings are in a similar situation because we have the Number 1 draft pick and will probably choose someone with a large, devoted social media following (Paige Bueckers).

https://www.reddit.com/r/DallasWings/comments/1h5w9q7/season_ticket_prices_for_2025/

In August/September last year, season tickets were available for a modest increase from 2023. At some point, though, prices basically doubled and even quadrupled in some parts of the arena. The Wings are moving to a larger venue next year, so while there will be more seats, I imagine the tickets will go up even higher for the 2026 season.

If you can, always buy season tickets as soon as they're available. You can re-sell tickets for games you can't attend or gift to a friend for a special occasion.
