Second, I'll never quite understand complaints coming from the "I'm a season ticket holder" perspective. That's basically a "I bought a product and was unsatisfied" argument, but this isn't anything like a typical consumer goods or services situation. Sports are a gamble. They involve a great deal of luck and fortune. Even with absolutely perfect decision making (and I'm not saying the Mavs' has been perfect), things can go awry. If you're not comfortable with that, seems like you should buy something else. Pizza?
It's in the first post and I believe that it may have come from a dallasnews report.

When you are a season ticket holder you sort of have to have a leap of faith in the team. It's obviously possible I am over sensitive to it because, well I just am.

But you always have to reup before the season is over, so it's a good faith move from both parties, but mostly the ticket buyer because they front the dough.

Last year was the worst, you paid your money not knowing if there would even be games or not. Then you find out that there will be games but they will suck and the team youve just been so elated with will be gutted.

You can call me butthurt or whatever, but if were watching on the tube I honestly would not care nearly so much, nor feel well..ripped off. I was sold a Lexus but got a Yugoslav this year. . Buyers remorse i guess.
