Got my season ticket renewal surprise of a huge jump in price for the season.

It's been a good 11 year run, but I'm out

WFAA Article on Price Increase

Looks like just over an 8% increase on average for full season tickets. This has to be the most clueless and tone deaf organization ever.

"The increases reflect investments in team and fan engagement"

Like security guards and cops? They've been engaging fans a ton lately

They had to pay consulting firms to help with damage control! Clearly, not worth the money!

Cuban tried not to price out fans. New ownership doesnt give a $@$#/.

I hope this becomes a full blown disaster at this point. Imagine trading a once in a lifetime player and then increasing ticket prices weeks later. What a bunch of ****ing morons.

Imagine renewing your season tix with hopes that you might get to see your new superstar play 50% of the time if you're lucky.

Is there anyone in here actually renewing might be the better ask

So obvious they're trying to position the team to move to Vegas.

We have been in a group with season tickets for 4 years now. Renewal is not happening. Absolute clueless ownership/management. There was a big jump for this season as well, I think around 5 or 6%. GO STARS!

I wish, but unfortunately that won't happen. I would prefer an expansion team at this point. I don't even know how or if I will ever care about the Mavericks again if Dumont is around. Nico will obviously be gone soon, but his damage is done. I just can't imagine ever driving to the Irving Mavericks new casino / stadium in the future and giving that POS a single dollar.

Ironically an expansion team in 2029 would probably be better positioned to be good than the Mavericks once they bottom out starting in 2027 considering they won't own their own draft picks for 4 years. It will be bleak until they finally get to reclaim their draft picks in 2031. So at best you are looking at probably 2035 before they can be relevant again.

So who are the fans that will pay a premium for these raised prices? I don't think they exist. Go look on Stubhub right now and there are a ton of $5-$10 seats right before tip-off of this "important" game against Sacramento. This market is already collapsing and we haven't scratched the surface on how bad this team will get.

They are divesting from Vegas. They purchased the old Texas Stadium site and are getting it rezoned, in preparation for an arena/casino. If gambling fails, they'll sell. The Vegas stuff is nonsense.

They better hope the gambling vote takes place attached to a major election, because if it ends up on some slapdick May ballot with low turnout, there may just be enough pissed off Mavs fans to kill it

It's easy to be down on the team right now when the only real player draw is Kyrie and the team is an a rough stretch of losses because of not having any bigs.

AD and Lively are both likely to be healthy to start next season and they won't have any issues selling out games.

I'd be careful about making any "likely healthy" assumptions about a 32 year old AD

He'll have had 5+ months off, most likely. I'll help riot if he isn't healthy.

This sounds like a riot planned on Texags that Trump probably won't pardon. Be careful out there.

Kyrie took and awkward hit and he's down…

He's smiling, but he called the trainer over…

I think he thinks there's a chance he could play in this game still. Why else would he have shot those FTs?

And if you think Mavs fans are unreasonably mad now, wait until the inevitable Kyrie injury. He's played 5 straight games of 40+ minutes on a compromised back. This isn't sustainable and everyone except Nico knows it. Trading Luka was bad enough but without Grimes, that's 1 less ballhandler. 1 less release valve for Kyrie and now he must be the primary ball handler not just every game, but for every minute.

His body will fail and then what?

Sell best player and guy that carried them to the finals last year for peanuts. AD is less reliable than Doncic and 7 years older.

Kick fans out for wearing Doncic jerseys and complaining

Raise season ticket prices

… what's next?

They never kicked fans out for wearing Luka jerseys. That was a troll tweet by NBACentel.

And the Adelsons are not trying to move the team out of Texas.
A) It doesn't make sense and they're actively divesting OUT of Las Vegas.
B) Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. Dumont and Nico are just actually that dumb. They thought they were actually doing something smart (not nefarious).

Very possible. They're definitely endearing themselves to the lifelong and greatest supporters.

There aren't a lot of stupid billionaires though. Maybe not Vegas but something's afoot.

If mild - 1-2 weeks, moderate - 2-6 weeks, severe - months.

This team is cooked and it's unfortunate because it was so easy to see this coming.

Stupid, stupid people at the top.

Miriam Adelson and Patrick Dumont didn't do anything special. Sheldon Adelson founded LVS, died, and then passed his company to his wife (and she bestowed further blessing's to her Son In Law). Billionaires, especially billionaire heirs, aren't special. They're just insanely lucky.
