what’s next, if you buy a ticket to the game a Nets player will actually come and pick you up and drive you to the arena?

So now some rich cougar can have one of our guys for lunch? Come on Yormark..

that’s just kinda creepy. the house? really? do they never watch criminal minds? there’s some crazy people out there…

Yeah Yormark – that would be really cool to have Tony Battie come by and hang for an hour – you are really in touch with reality. It is time for a Nets house cleaning!!!

Who picks the time for the meeting??? Anybody here rich enough should pick bobby simmons or trenton hassell for an hour during game time so opie can’t play them.

Is he seriously talking about the VALUE of a preteen’s birthday party!?

This promotion would be better if it were the cheerleaders.

10 courtside seats for a 1 hr appearance from the Nets Dancers are your home?? Think about it I’m sure it’d go over big and it’d fit in line with what our new owner is used to dealing with to gain favor.

Mr. DB approves of the above approach.

Like 13 year old Jonny is going to have this problem on his hands:

“Terry is having cake and Devin Harris at his party but Sally is having ICE CREAM Cake and Courney Lee the VERY SAME DAY!!??
Tough Call!”

Fail…fail fail fail fail fail

@ JB; Very funny. Maybe they can also bring Opie along. He would look real cute with a party hat and balloon.

@JB
LOL, that was too funny.

A better Nets promotion would be if you purchase 4 courtside seats for 10 games you and your friends get to fire Lawrence Frank.

I guess next it’ll be if you purchase a half-season courtside ticket plan you can have Ratner, Yormark, and Prokhorov re-enact scenes from the 3 stooges.

Yormark is pimpin now? Wow.

Hasn’t Yormark heard? Nets will have a new Billionaire owner. No more “Bush League”.

How much to have Proky come to the teenage girl’s birthday party?

What do the players think about this idea? Is it in their contract?

Ballplayers used to visit sick kids in the hospital. Now they are sent to rich kids’ birthday parties. The market has spoken.

Next step is setting up a “Kissing Booth” at court side. During the game you can plant a wet smacker on your favorite Net.

I think most Nets fans would rather have Yormark come over for an hour so we treat him like he has treated us (like garbage) since coming back to this organization.

ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC !!!

I don’t know what you guys are thinking, but I think this is not a bad idea. Not that I’ll go for it, can’t afford it, period.

For an average ticket price of $625, you can sit courtside, plus a chance to have an NBA player at an event.

I’m seeing more medium-sized businesses taking this offer. 40 courtside tickets that they can giveaway to business partners, or use it themselves like an incentive for an employee of the month. Things like that, the possibilities are endless.

The event that a player will show up on, will be highly organized. Take for example the kid that will take a player to his/her school. The whole school is involved in the preparation, it was not like they will just drop the kid to school and that’s it.

Same with the parties that they used to attract/sign up season ticket holders. The Nets pick up the tabs for most of the expenses.

This promotion will cost less to the Nets. As you need to throw up the party yourself. But that doesn’t mean the Nets won’t be involved in the planning.
The idea that you can take a player anywhere, anytime, and alone is very very misguided. It’s not like that.
I’m sure there’s some sort of a contract that comes with the purchase of the tickets, and the details will be outlined on how things go.

Anyone care to buy one and explain it to us? :)

I saw Yormark at a bagel shop in Monmouth County over the summer wearing a tight spandex bicycle outfit with a helmet. He looked like such a tool. I just thought i’d share that.

LOL. This is hilarious. Nice comments by Isaac, Mr. DB, and Mike. What a pathetic offer—-can you imagine if you were a rich kid and you had Simmons arrive at your doorstep?

I can just see it now: “Mr. Simmons, My dad tells me you’ll be looking for a new job next year. Maybe you can be my new nanny?”

FGS, if you are going to pay 25K to get court side seats to see a lottery team, you BETTER be getting AT LEAST ONE of the 5 players who will likely be on the team next year…

The problem with this is that I can’t afford courtside seats on my income. As usual, the rich get these great deals and we do not. I even find it wrong that professional athletes and even other celebrities charge so much just to make appearences when they are already being paid by their contracts. I even find it wrong for them to charge money just to get their autograph. I onced offered a chance to give about one thousand dollars to meet David Wright in person at an event at the Marriot Marquis but I reneged on it because I didn’t have the money for it. The same went with any other benefit for the Mets or anything else that the MLB offered to me. At least most of the events the Nets are giving to me to come, which by someone who works with them, is next to nothing. Having a Nets player show up somewhere for one hour in buying seats at $25,000 is not just no worth it. For that money, they should be there for at least a day. Who am I kidding here? Many of these promotions from any teams or the leagues they are, are always meant for their rich donors. I wouldn’t pay so much to either meet President Barrack Obama or even stay at his Chicago house either because it’s way too much.

They must be desperate to come up with a pathetic idea like this. What makes them think anyone wants these guys hanging around? There are a few Nets players I wouldn’t want anywhere near my house! And until they put together a team that’s a team, I won’t pay 25 cents to watch them.

@ Tal

If you think these promos are not affordable, just wait until the team moves to Brooklyn. Middle-class Nets fans will yearn for the days they were playing at IZOD.

Brett, if the players can only spend an hour with whoever can have them for that time, then it should be costing less rather than more.

once again your site erased my message .the truth is the

truth and your marketting idea is wrong and disrespectful

to all of us,use your players to go and visit hospitals

not to use them as toys

ok – thank you very much.

@ Tal

agreed.

This is a bit much, even for a guy like Yormark. If the timing was different, some might blame this on Proky…Can I get a cheerleader for an hour? OK, ten minutes would be enough..:-)

@ pawley

what town on Monmouth???
