I'm a 40 percent owner, but hey, who's counting. Best, Bruce

While I am not a regular poster on Hawksquawk, I do read the comments made here quite frequently, and I want to thank all of you for the passion and interest you have shown towards the Hawks; it is really appreciated by the organization and the players. Plus, I want to especially thank the many of you who have spoken to me at games and posted in support of the Joe Johnson deal. As you know, that's a deal we fought hard to get done and I am sure glad we did. I had such a good time last season getting to meet many of you Hawksquawkers when I offered you a special discount on some tickets that I want to do the same thing again this season so you can see in person how much the team has improved this season, and why I am so excited by our play. Between now and Wednesday, November 22nd you can purchase lower level tickets to the game on Friday, November 24th vs. the Toronto Raptors at 7:30pm – for only $25 each! (they are normally $60). The game is the day after Thanksgiving and if you are like me, you will be looking for something to do that night...Plus, I will choose two of you that purchase these tickets to sit with me in my floor seats and watch another exciting Hawks game at the Highlight Factory! Here is how to take advantage of this special offer.

First, let me apologize for any confusion with your ticket orders. We use a third party (Ticketmaster) for our ticketing transactions, and in our efforts to get everyone the best possible seating for the game there was a technical error that caused some of the accounts to be cancelled. This error has since been rectified and all of the accounts have been restored. An email will be sent out later today to those affected fans apologizing for the error. Again, sorry for the inconvenience this has caused some of you and thanks for sticking with us. Second, thank you to all of you loyal Hawks fans that took advantage of my offer for the game against the Clippers on November 10th. Between Hawksquawk and RealGM 575 tickets were purchased via my offer, which is greatly appreciated. I was at training camp all weekend. We have a lot of young legs and Coach is running them. In one scrimmage, Esteban (he wants us to call him "Steve") got popped and blood started gushing from his nose. He rushed off the court (everyone assume to get attention from the trainer) and returned a minute later with toilet paper stuffed in his nose. When the toilet paper fell out and blood started flowing again, he ran off, only to return seconds later with fresh toilet paper shoved up his nose. I am thinking we might have to have a night where all the fans bring a roll of toilet paper for him. I don't want to get caught up in hype because it's way too early, but these are spirited sessions. The attitude is completely different than last year's camp. I look forward to seeing all of you at Philips Arena this season – especially on Thursday, November 10th vs. the Clippers. Bruce

Yes, the tickets should all be in the same area.

There is no maximum and we'd love to see your kids there as well!

Since I became an owner, I have from time to time checked RealGM and Hawksquawk to get a sense of the thoughts of our most dedicated fans. In the past several weeks, I have closely read your comments on the Joe Johnson trade and the conflict within our ownership group. I was struck by your passion for the Hawks. It's that passion that we desparately need as we build this young team. Over the past year, several of you have chatted about meeting at a game and I would love to assist in making this possibe. So I've arranged the following: Between now and September 1st you can purchase lower level tickets to the Hawks game on November 10th vs. the LA Clippers -- for only $10 each! These seats are normally $55! Plus, I will choose two of you that purchase these tickets to sit with me in my floor seats and watch the Hawks Rise Up and beat the Clippers! Here is how to take advantage of this special offer.
