The Portland Trail Blazers sit atop the NBA’s Western Conference with a 6-1 record and have seen notable gains in ticket sales and packages.
The Story
The Portland Trail Blazers are translating their early success into strong ticket demand, sitting first in the NBA’s Western Conference with a 6-1 record.
The team is “currently ranked second in the NBA for single game tickets,” a position it holds after a 76% increase compared with last year. Group sales have also increased by 32%.
The momentum comes after a summer of back-and-forth between the team and the city over how much Portland should contribute to Moda Center renovations. Despite that, the team’s season ticket and premium efforts have continued to draw interest.
Trail Blazers SVP of Tickets & Premium Lisa Feigenbaum said the organization “added 50 courtside seats,” which were quickly bought by season ticket holders. Feigenbaum also said the team is working to attract fans who want to watch from close range without necessarily having the means to sit inches away.
As part of its push for broader affordability, Feigenbaum said the organization launched the “Sixth Man Special,” offering “for just $29” a ticket plus a $20 food and beverage voucher for select games. She added that owner Tom Dundon is “particularly keen on offering affordable ticket packages this season.”
Feigenbaum also said the organization’s basketball operations and business operations are “less siloed than in previous years and working together closely,” describing a tighter connection between on-court performance and ticketing strategy.
