Take a quick moment to think about the last time you attended a sporting event and considered it a great value. Has that ever happened? If it has, did it occur in the past six months?
As price-conscious consumers continue to grapple with the current economy, professional and collegiate organizations are seeking new ways to deliver value for their fans. Here is a list of some of the best values currently being offered in the sports marketplace:
Season Tickets
Minnesota Timberwolves: The Minnesota Timberwolves are offering a "Buy One, Get One Free" season ticket promotion for lower bowl seats at the Target Center. As part of the promotion, fans also receive one authentic autographed jersey and a meet-n-greet with their favorite Wolves player.
New Jersey Nets: The New Jersey Nets are selling 1,300 season ticket packages at a price of $440 (approximately $10/game) with a "Buy Now, Pay Later" guarantee. Any fan that purchases these select season tickets will not be charged on their credit card until January.
