Here is an idea that should be used for Rockets Season-Ticket Holders

-This is from the Atlanta Constitution-

"Hawks To Pay Season-Ticket Holders If They Miss Playoffs "


The Hawks "are so confident about next season, they'll pay every full-season ticketholder $125 if they don't make the playoffs," according to Jeffrey Denberg of the ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, who writes, "That's about a $500,000 bet for the Hawks, based on last year's sales of about 4,000 packages at between $1,025 and $3,485 each." Denberg writes that it is "an unprecedented offer among Atlanta teams and rare in professional sports." Though the Hawks have not made the playoffs in three seasons, Hawks President Stan Kasten said, "I expect this team to make the playoffs." Kasten said that the refund-reward program is the team's "way of repairing its public image after a series of disasters." The program "was initiated by coach Lon Kruger and supported by several veteran players." Kasten, on "objections to offering the rebate": "As we learned last year, too many things can go wrong during a season. The other thing is that half the teams in the league lose every night. We don't sell winning and losing. We sell entertainment and competition"
