Jazz cancelled my family's season tickets after 36 years.

I really want to feel bad for you, but your family has had the privilege of experiencing something that most never will. These are white people problems.

(dude loved Alec Burks as recently as 6 months ago though, he'd sit about 5 inches from the TV screen and laugh every time he barreled his way to the hoop).

Brings a tear to my eye.

I <3 your gramps

I do not know the answer to this question, although the team's reaction suggests that they do not. Also keep in mind that my grandfather may not have been super keen on the fine details the last 10 or so years as he was suffering from Parkinson's

Maybe another Jazz season ticket holder can chime in here because my understanding is that there is a PSL (personal seat license) associated with purchasing season tickets - Jazz are one of a handful of NBA teams that do this. This essentially means you own the rights to your seat. Or maybe The Jazz handle PSL's differently from other franchises.

PSL's are a big deal here in NJ because the new Met Life Stadium charges exorbitant PSL fees to season ticket holders for Jets and Giants. But the flip side to it is you own your seat and can sell it to someone in the open market like any other private asset.

I have tweeted like three times in my life. I just tweeted this to @greginutah. They need to give your family free season tickets for a year.

Sir, do you have the name of the person who is dealing with all this at the Jazz? I have a good relationship with some people that are involved in ticketing, I went to school with them, so i'd be happy to reach out to them for you.

And don't even think about calling Gepheart. I wish another news group would expose that fraud. He likes to reach out to local business and request an outrageous amount to be "Gepheart approved" and when you say no implies he will be looking into your company anyway. Practically blackmail.

Yeah, the Jazz gave us the right starting in 2010, IIRC, to sell our seats. I would think this would be a right that passes to the owners heirs. We bought our tickets through a business over 20 years ago, and we were advised that by doing it through a family business, it could pass from generation to generation... I haven't read the fine print to see if the PSL rights pass to heirs though.

If his grandfather owns the PSL, then wouldn't his grandfather's estate own the seats and not the Jazz?

Wouldn't the PSL either then be willed to a family member, or sold on the open market and the sale price distributed via the will?

How do the Jazz have any say in the PSL?

Interesting and unfortunately not surprising. I know the owner of a prominent "Gephart approved" company (he was my neighbor prior to dumping his wife and running off with his hawt little secretary). I don't know of a single neighbor who has anything good to say about him (and their complaints are not related to his divorce) yet Gephart is obviously willing to sing his praises. It makes perfect sense that he's only doing it for the cash.

It depends on the terms of the PSL. It could be drafted that the owner can sell during life, but the rights expire upon death.

They don't do any background checks before they "approve" a company. They just do it once they get paid.

Sorry, wrong century. The Middle Ages are over and laying claim to something based on the position of one's ancestors does not work anymore. It is all personal achievement-based now. Capitalism.

We may not like it sometimes, but there is no aristocracy, no mutual multigenerational loyalty between the lord and his vassals. The Millers owe you nothing.

Has Greg Miller done anything other than being born to Larry and Gail to deserve his position at the helm of the organization? You'd think a nepotistic company would extend that same attitude to the family of one of their oldest clients.
