Each Bucks season ticket account-holder has received his/her own personalized Web site at www.bucksmvp.com, which details incentives, benefits and simplifies the online renewal process.
Additional benefits provided to season subscribers include an MVP Rewards Program, a flexible ticket exchange program to assist season subscribers in exchanging unused tickets and a Bucks Ticket Bank offering additional tickets at no additional cost to designated games.
All season subscribers who re-sign for 2012-13 are also immediately eligible to be awarded a unique prize in a game night sweepstakes held during every Bucks home game now through April 14.
Among the prizes are a trip for two to the NBA Draft in June, a trip for two on a Bucks team charter during the 2012-13 season, and a grand prize giveaway of $5,000 cash at the April 14 game vs. Indiana.
In addition to a convenient online renewal process, all account holders are assigned a dedicated personal account representative to assist in the renewal process as well as serve the subscriber year-round.
Additional ticket purchases, special accommodations and arrangements, and general Bucks information is provided by the account representative who is available by phone, in-arena during games and by email.
If the Bucks qualify for the 2012 NBA Playoffs, returning season subscribers will be accommodated with the popular Playoffs Now, Pay Later plan.
The plan gives season subscribers their seat locations for all playoff games played in Milwaukee, and payment is not required until after the Bucks complete playoff competition.
