Sonics fans want free seats in Oklahoma City

You didn’t think it was over just because the team relocated did you? Well, if you did, you’re wrong. The Seattle SuperSonics fans are still following through with their lawsuits and various threats against owner Clay Bennett who moved the franchise to Oklahoma City. Since it’s almost unthinkable that a judge would force the team to move back to Seattle, these fans are seeking free tickets for the next two seasons in Oklahoma City.

According to Google Maps the distance from Seattle to Oklahoma City is 2,000 miles, a trip that would take over 24 hours to accomplish. So, it’s not likely these fans, if they received these tickets, would actually attend all the games. Instead, season ticket holders want to receive tickets for free in order to sell them for profit. Not exactly what I thought they would be asking for, but then again, I’ve never been a fan of a team that has relocated.

It seems these fans think it would only be fair that they be compensated in some way for Bennett moving the franchise. And what a better way than make money off the free tickets a judge could award to them. However, this also seems unlikely. I’m not sure what the outcome will be, but I wouldn’t expect every season ticket holder in Seattle to receive free tickets.
