Even though this is a Basketball story l thought this would be interesting Slinky to post. Here is the story & than I will leave my thoughts->
No Registered User Jason Kidd or Vince Carter, NJ Nets to market opponents
By Associated Joined: Monday, 19th of April 2010, 01:01:07 Press
With no big-names on their roster following the trades of Posts: 278 Jason Kidd and Vince Carter over the past 18 months, the New Jersey Nets Viewed 17450 times have taken a novel approach to ticket sales this season — they’re
marketing LeBron, Kobe, K.G., Dwyane and Dwight Howard.
The
Nets on Thursday announced a special 10-game ''Match-Up'' ticket plan
through which their fans can also get a collection of reversible jerseys
with the uniforms of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade
and Howard on one side and the jersey of the Nets’ player that will match
up against the visiting star on the other.
Fans who purchase
two sets of tickets under the plan will get one set of five jerseys. />
Can you imagine if lets say for example the Yankees made a
reversible jersey where on side it has Derek Jeter & on the other side it
has David Ortiz?How would you feel if your team did something similar to
what the Nets Basketball Team is doing?

That is just wrong. That is kind of lame. The nets have a star Jilly Bean in Devin Harris. They should be promoting him around the league instead of Registered User doing something messed up like this. Joined: Thursday, 6th of May 2010, 16:49:36 Posts: 1685 Viewed 2729 times

When the Grizzlies played in Vancouver, they were marketed the honeycakes same way. The Michael Jordan games, the Lakers games, Steve Nash returning Registered User to BC and so on. No goofy double-sided jersey giveaways, just ''come and Joined: Thursday, 6th of May 2010, 22:02:06 see Michael Jordan. With special guests, the Vancouver Grizzlies'' sort of Posts: 1832 thing.

It is sad to see it happen to an established franchise, though. If the M
is had to resort to that, it would be very depressing.

If the attendance really was bad, I have no problems with it. Flame For individual games, it is done all the time. It gets tickets sold. Registered User Heck, the tickets are sometimes not even used for the game. I recall that Joined: Saturday, 24th of April 2010, 23:31:51 when the Twins were bad in the late 90s, on the games they would give away Posts: 1282 bobble head dolls, fans would buy a cheap ticket, get the doll, and then Viewed 18725 times go home!

I think that is pretty dumb-- Why would the Nets promote an Puffin athlete of the opposing team?? They should be trying to elevate their own Registered User players, not worrying about the other teams! Joined: Monday, 10th of May 2010, 22:09:03 Plus, if you're going to a Nets game, you're mostly likely rooting for Posts: 1151 them and are a fan, so why would you want a lebron jersey?

If you can not draw fans to see your team. why not draw fans to Moogle see your opponents? Registered User Joined: Saturday, 15th of May 2010, 15:59:23 Seems like a win-win situation for the Nets. I don't see the Royals doing Posts: 203 anything like this though. They already give away a LOT of promotional Viewed 1337 times items to get people to come to the ball park, but none of it has ever had
anything to do with whoever they happen to be playing. (with the sole
exception being the I-70 series against the Cardinals).
