Is it me or does it seem like the Sixers have messed up a few times this year when it comes to gameday promotions? Well, there’s no doubt about this one. The Sixers totally messed up last night’s Jahlil Okafor Bobblehead Night. Sixers CEO Scott O’Neil even came out and said that it was an error by the team.
In what’s a first to me, the Sixers required you to buy a ticket and use a special promo code in order to receive the bobblehead. Normally, for bobblehead nights, you buy a ticket and get a bobblehead.
As you can see, a lot of Sixers fans were not happy with the approach used by the Sixers. What’s even more amazing to me is this: how do you not think about the season-ticket holders first?
Were you at the Sixers game last night? Did you get screwed? We would like to hear your story! Hit us up on social media or email us and let us know.
Not a surprise here. Was a season ticket holder for quite a few years and stopped last year as the “incentives” to buy the tickets dried up to nothing. During the Adam Aron days, I was getting autographed swag, credits to the Sixers merch store, free extra tickets to select games, and 4 free club box seats (that could be split into 1 game with 4 tix or 2 games of 2 tix). I stopped renewing when they essentially started putting garbage on the court and not giving season ticket holders and extra “perks”. The great irony is that the Phillies played this same game in about 2012 or so, so I cancelled those tickets. Now the Phillies are calling me up BEGGING me to buy season tickets.
