fish7718 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 How in the world can this team have problems selling tickets? ....Oh it's in Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Just because a team has lack of support does not mean it does not have real fans. I'm sure Miami fans can be pretty great and stay true to their team, just look at poe and flash. Quit hating because your teams fan base is like the whole country.

magicbalala245 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 this is sad. Any other team with this big 3 would not have problems selling tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htown11 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Didn't they fire the ticket staff after the big 3 signed because they sold out every game within minutes. They just have lazy fans.... I don't know if it would work the same way in Miami but the Rockets fans don't show up either until the Rockets string off victories it always picks up after that. You would assume the Heat have a good chance at doing that as the season progresses, they haven't been that dominant monster that a lot of people assumed they could be it's taking time. I think regardless fans should be loud and proud but it's never like that in certain places. I hate the Jazz fans but other teams fans can take notes from that crowd on what home court advantage should really be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'd love to the see the comparison of number of tickets sold for the Heat @ home vs the number of tickets sold on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Guarantee you that every game is sold out. The reason people don't attend the games is because they are lazy, or they have other things to do. My dad's company has tickets to every game, but there are games that no one goes to....thats how basically most of the season tickets work. People buy season tickets, they can't go, and they can't get someone to go for them. Boom, empty seat. Why is Miami like this? Who the [expletive] knows, its not because we don't want to watch the team. Everyone is a Heat fan now, even girls that don't know the first thing about basketball are going for them.

Clutch Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 those rich lower bowl fools are the main problem, they take an hour to come back to their seats after half-time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 those rich lower bowl fools are the main problem, they take an hour to come back to their seats after half-time lol I don't know how Lakers fans can talk when half of the fans at the game show up at the beginning of the 3rd quarter and leave during the 4th quarter. .

Check my Stats Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Raps were down like 6 with 3 minutes to go and you would think the game was over the way the fans left the game, it was downright pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thats another thing...everyone is concerned about beating the traffic, so everyone leaves early and run into traffic anyway. The parking sucks also. The ticket costs you well over $100, and the parking is like $50 if you want to get close to the arena, any other parking lot at night is basically just asking to get murdered. Then again I don't know the mentality of other Heat fans. When I have tickets I get to the game 30 minutes early, and I don't move move from my seat for the entire game. If someone wants to get food then fine with them, but I don't move. I stay there until the buzzer sounds (unless its a blowout). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Dude, all those things are the case with every sports team. Lol at using parking and the busyness after as valid reasons for fans leaving a close game. It's pathetic that franchises who have actual fan support (UNCONDITIONAL) are starving for a successful team, and then ungrateful fans like Miami get one in the off-season just because it is hot there. I'm not talking about you, or Flash, or anyone here, so don't take offense to what I am saying, it is just extremely annoying.

Lol you cannot be serious. Fed Ex Field (home to the Washington Redskins) has the most traffic on gameday out of any sporting venue, yet we still fill up close to 90K on gameday (largest stadium in the NFL). Beating the traffic is the last thing you should be bringing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I've never been to a close game where fans left early. Not at the AAA sorry. LOL @ the Laker fans always trying to bash Miami on their attendance. Every game is a sellout, never an empty seat unless the game is over by the 4th. I would know, because I go to all of them. Keep talking [expletive] though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 The Heat couldn't sell out last year as a playoff team. The Lakers sell out when they miss the playoffs. Because LA is arguably the most storied franchise in the NBA. We get it, your fanbase is huge, your city is bigger we get it. No need to let us know the obvious. We had a middle of the pack playoff team in a city where there's a lot more to do at night than in most places. Whatever, we sell out every game now and your fans are dying to watch our team play. I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
