Thunder basketball: Season tickets sold; team will have waiting list

By Mike Baldwin

The Oklahoma City Thunder will have a season ticket waiting list. Team officials sold the remaining 1,000 tickets on Friday.

"It's one thing to feel the support and believe the support is there,” said Thunder chairman Clay Bennett. "But to write a check is the ultimate test. I am pleased we were able to offer a reasonable amount of affordable seats. That's important. To have this kind of velocity in sales is remarkable.”

This remarkable: The Celtics, Lakers, Suns and Thunder are the only four NBA franchises with a season ticket waiting list.

"That's overwhelming,” Bennett said. "To actually see it happen, we're thrilled. We're tremendously gratified by the response.”

Select-a-seat appointments for today, Sunday and Monday will be canceled. Those fans will be placed on a waiting list for future season tickets. They also will be placed on a list for eight-game mini packages, in all price ranges, that will go on sale in approximately two weeks.

Glad they're going to be getting a lot of support.

Not a knock, but that's too many season tickets given out. NBA arenas are small compared to other sports anyway, I don't think you should make more than 50 percent available as season tickets.

season ticket numbers will probably plummet next season so enjoy while you can Bennett.

Don't be so sure. For some reason, a lot of this country just can't accept the fact that Oklahoma City is major league material. The season ticket sales will be just fine for years to come.

Seattle fans on the whole have a hard time showing that this team was their favorite team. I mean they weren't their favorite until they were moving, let's be real.
