“Making Magic games accessible to every fan has always been a priority for our organization, and this season we worked closely with the DeVos family to build on that commitment,” Magic president of business operations Charlie Freeman said in a statement. “From affordable ticket and concession options to retail merchandise deals, we want to make sure a Magic game remains within reach for families across our community.
“The DeVos family ownership has been clear that growth on the court should go hand-in-hand with keeping this experience affordable for the fans who support us every night,” Freeman added.
Ticket options
The team’s “Monthly Steals Program” will provide $20 ticket options for every home game, with offers launched on the first of each month.
“Monthly Steals” are exclusive $20 ticket deals available only to fans who sign up for Magic text alerts, according to the team. At the start of each month, fans who are opted in for the team’s text alerts will receive a notice about offers for that month’s home games.
In addition, group ticket programs will include complimentary tickets through the Jr. Magic and Honor Roll programs with discounted tickets offered to OCPS school staff and through OneBlood donations.
