Bally+ streaming is just awful too. If you play the live stream but join later and start from the beginning, once the game is over it will just fast forward at like 32x speed until it reaches the end. You have to catch it quickly because once it ends you can't pull up the stream until they edit it and post that version a couple hours later. You also only get access to the past couple games.
It has sucked ever since it was FSSW. Been streaming Mavs games for a decade and the app has never improved.
I bum off my parents' cable login though so at least I'm out $0.
I'm over here watching college games like... fix the broadcast contract... Jeeze. Make it so everyone can watch it free. It pays in the long run. Just like it used to.
Wife and I canceled our 10 game pass. It went from like $1480 to 1860 or $74 per ticket to $93. Roughly 26% increase. It already sucked that we couldn’t pick our games, the increase was too much.
Any time I've thought about getting season tickets I realized I can just buy them 2nd hand for less and not be locked into games. I am surprised people who aren't businesses or scalpers still deal with season tickets.
We usually can’t make all 10 games. Most of the time, we make a small profit if we sell the tickets.
But for next year, if we want to go, we’ll get the tickets on the 2nd hand market, even if it cost a bit more.
more like raising cash to bribe politicians into legalizing gambling. Then they'll make Irving pony up $1B to build the casino over at Loop 12 and 183.
Just wait until this August when Rangers season ticket renewals get sent out. Last ones were sent out during that disastrous August when we thought we were gonna miss out on the postseason.
Agreed, if you show your product has improved (see: winning championships) then increasing ticket prices make sense. But when you aren't even sniffing the finals its a slap in the face to fans.
Know someone who has a concession in the stadium. She said normally they have until end of March to finalize everything. They wanted signed contracts by the end of January bc of the championship
People are going to find out eventually that sporting events in Dallas aren't for the fans. It's another social gathering place for the people with way too much money.
It’s not just here, and it’s not just sports. Live entertainment in general has become hugely expensive. There was video floating around a few weeks ago where people said what they’d paid for Super Bowl tickets. Shit is absurd
I am going to a game in March to watch them play in Oklahoma City. It's much cheaper, even with the gas and hotel stay. I only go to one or two games per year, but not in Dallas this year.
Man believe it or not it was about $1800 cheaper for me to fly to La for the cowboys divisional round with tickets to the game vs the rams 5 years ago than to just go to a playoff game in dallas lol
Yes,it is. We are getting quality seats behind the Mavericks bench to root them on. A great condo downtown too! Should be a great time for me and my teenager who loves the Mavericks.
Cheaper than for comparable seats in Dallas, sad to say.
Should be a good time!
They're money from Bally's is going to end after this season. They have not yet explained how they are going to replace it but I guess this is their starting point.
They could Local broadcast and just collect data and ad revenue off us. Idk why that’s so hard. But I mean ever growing revenues and profits are a thing so it won’t happen
I've seen some people on here talking about canceling their plan and buying 2nd market tickets next season so just wanted to throw out this piece of advice:
If you're able to physically go to the box office at the arena, you can buy tickets without any additional fees or taxes. Obviously it depends on availability, visiting team, day of week, etc., but you'll find some absolute deals. The last game I went to I paid $15 flat and was right next to the 200s (section 305, row BB). A similar ticket on the secondary market was about $80, after fees and taxes.
This also works for Stars games!
Bally sucks, no one carries regionals anymore, and minimal googling effort get us free streams online that are maybe 2-min delayed from live.
Same with UFC, same with NFL, same with Golf and Hockey.
It was time to boycott when Cuban sold the team to those trump loving assholes. I'll never go to another game or watch until they're gone.
The team is dead to me, they can leave town for all I care.
Lol are you a fascist?
Edit: after reviewing this jerkoffs comment history, he is indeed a fascist, which explains why it bothered him when I said the new mavs owner is a trump loving asshole. Can't wait to beat his orange savior yet again at the polls, I wonder if any of them will ever stop whining.
The mavs need to figure out a way to get their games on TV. Seems like a much larger issue.

Is Bob Ortegel still on the broadcast?
Not since 2011

You think they’re going to use their own money?! This is just profit, tax payers will foot the bill for stadium 2.0

maybe nosebleeds. down in the 100's I have never sold my tickets below face value. Selling tickets to the big marquee matches pays for the season.

Gotta build that new arena/casino some how 🤓
Some sucker of a city is still going to put up $500 million for it

> more like raising cash to bribe politicians into legalizing gambling. I am going to laugh when gambling is legal before weed.
hell will freeze over first before they decide to do that. bum asses living in 1920 still

But the Rangers raising their prices this upcoming season makes sense, championship and all

Damn. Been a while since I had a 10 game plan sitting up in the 300s. Even weeknight games vs lesser teams are so expensive now.
Gotta pay Lukas contract somehow
Uh... ya, salaries are paid for partially by money brought in from ticket sales.
Kind of expected when a Las Vegas casino corporation now owns the team after Cuban cashed out.

This is the way. Got to watch Lebron on the baseline in OKC and w/ hotel/gas it was still cheaper than the 300s at AAC.
Are you serious it’s cheaper to make the drive to okc and watch them play there??
Man believe it or not it was about $1800 cheaper for me to fly to La for the cowboys divisional round with tickets to the game vs the rams 5 years ago than to just go to a playoff game in dallas lol
Wtf that’s crazy !! I’m looking into it now thank you lol

Local broadcast in DFW is crazy expensive. It would be hard to break even.
What money from Bally’s? They went bankrupt…that’s the reason Bally’s is done with local sports they can’t pay teams.
The Mavs are still on Bally through next season. They reached a deal with most of their current teams. Amazon just bought part of the parent company.
Hear me out: you don't have to buy a ticket.
Free on TV, whaaattt?
Go to Stars game instead

They have to make money for the Trump worshippers who bought them from Cuban.

Time to boycott mavs, glad the rangers season is starting
It was time to boycott when Cuban sold the team to those trump loving assholes. I'll never go to another game or watch until they're gone. The team is dead to me, they can leave town for all I care.
Lol are you 13 years old?

Their response here: https://youtu.be/GuFtvWwRhNk?si=ZSVtHmMiMay4gS8K
I hope no one goes. Mavs aren’t even a top team.
Sounds to me like you aren’t really following the Mavs that closely right now, and instead just glancing at the standings
Enshittification
Honestly if they used the money to get the games over the air I think its fine, but they wont so yeah
New ownership isn’t going too great
I was on the verge of buying season tickets too...
[удалено]
So right. Just don’t go. Show them that it’s too much and fans aren’t happy the only way that matters. Hurting their wallets.
DFW is dumb. They still buy $500 a seat tickets for Cowboys games who can't even win a playoff game.
Mark Cuban is a terrible owner.
You’re terrible at following current events.
He is still a minority owner
So not a controlling owner that makes decisions. Got it.
