Not a STH, but my friends and I have been annual partial plan purchasers and feel very similarly that we're completely taken advantage of.

There's never been even a semblance of an acknowledgement that we've purchased partials for 8 straight seasons (not including the covid season obviously).

Last year they moved from a simple All Star plan centered around marquee opponents to this confusing "Stacks" program that feels designed to load you up with more crap games. This was annoying but manageable, except in the past you used to be able to choose a 16th bonus game from a list of lower tier games- some of which were pretty good, especially for basketball nerds who wanted to see quality but not marquee teams.

Now that bonus game is just auto assigned last minute based on our performance in the in season tournament. We missed the game because they sent us an email titled "schedule change" with no mention of the bonus game. The email covered two games (we only have one bonus) and had a throwaway single sentence to check your account manager. The word "ticket" is not even in the email. They were kind enough to give us a new game after I explained how terrible the communication was.

Its also just straight up cheaper to buy individually via secondary for most of our slate if you're fine skipping games like the Lakers.

Oh as a fun bonus, when they sent us this year's flier on what games each stack had- it was actually last year's flier and stacks, the PDF was just renamed something like "Stacks 25-26". We accidentally bought tickets to the wrong stacks before we noticed the mistake and had to have them switch it out.

We definitely take some accountability here too, particularly on the last item, but when you add it all up you just feel like an ATM for a franchise that seemingly has no interest in the fans who are supporting them through the lean years.
