Nets Hold Season Ticket Holder Town Hall Meeting

We accidentally stumbled over this one we missed from last summer (and where was the mad-overkilling Norman Oder?). Particularly noteworthy is the title, "Town Hall Meeting" — another marketing device employed by Ratner taken from the world of politics.

June 25, 2007
East Rutherford, NJ- With just days to go before the NBA draft and the opening of free agency, the Nets held an exclusive season ticket holder town hall meeting to give their state of the team. Over 300 people were on hand to listen and pose questions to Principal Owner Bruce Ratner, CEO Brett Yormark, Head Coach Lawrence Frank, and Nets Captain Jason Kidd. President Rod Thorn – who was on the road watching the final draft workouts in preparation for Thursday’s draft - delivered a statement via video tape.

In line with their all-access philosophy, the Nets used this opportunity – during such a critical week – to actively keep season ticket holders aware of what is going on, now and in preparation for next season.
...
The prevailing message, however, was a simple one: the Nets are committed to winning now and devoted to making the fan experience the best in the league.
