Saw this on Slickdeals:

Don't miss out on our #PayThePick season ticket offer! If we get the #1 draft pick in the lottery, you pay $1 per game!

43 games x$(pick). On average you will pay $100.75 for 43 games ($2.243 per game) =43x(.25(1)+ .215(2) +.177(3)+ .358(4))

You need to call (704) Bobcats for the offer

my tickets were in section 205 row K.

They aren't very good, but Rich Cho is an excellent GM and there are a couple young players with potential.

You will be charged $43(per season ticket) up front with the balance being charged after the lottery.

Lol that is a ridiculous deal. So for the price of a used video game, I could potentially buy a season ticket to see an NBA team in person for 43 games. Wow. If the fix wasn't in on this lotto, I might just do it!

Seriously though, it's something to consider. Can we really be any worse next year?

Tempting, but throw in gas and parking and it becomes more like $10 a game. Not worth it for the Bobcats.

I rode the bus from Plaza-Midwood to any Bobcats games I went to this past year. $2.50 total, plus I could have a few of those tall "brew-from-the-bottom" beers and not have to worry. I'll probably do the same next season.

Ruff did you or anyone else actually take advantage of this deal? I'm tempted to call the Bobcats' office to inquire. I'm assuming it's only for the nosebleeds...but $43 for a season ticket even at only a 1/4 chance is ridiculous no matter where you sit.

The dirt-cheap season tickets are gone.

Now Charlotte Bobcats fans who pounced on a ticket promotion will have to wait to see how cheap they’ll be – and who they’ll get to see when they use them.

The team said Monday that it sold out of a block of season tickets that could be as cheap as $43. They were part of a promotion that began Wednesday, where the per-game price for one of about 500 upper-deck seats will equal the draft pick the team wins in the lottery May 30.

If the Bobcats get the top pick, and presumably draft 6-foot-10, 220-pound Kentucky freshman standout Anthony Davis, the season ticket would be $1 per game, or $43 for the season, including two exhibitions.

By finishing last in the NBA, the Bobcats are guaranteed one of the top four picks on June 28.

If the team falls to the No. 4 pick and takes a less-coveted prospect, the seats will be $4 per game, or $172 for the season.

Each person was able to buy up to four seats, which, because of the price, will not come with some of the normal perks.

Buyers won’t be able to trade in tickets or attend off-the-court season-ticketholder events.

Wow we SOLD OUT QUICK AS HELL. And we didn't have to rebrand or pander to non-fans to do it. Even as the worst team in the league, people in Charlotte jumped all over this.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
