The Sixers Sold Tons of New Full Season Tickets, So the Sales Team Got Terrible Haircuts
By Jim Adair
Published:
Few things in Philly sports scream “resistance is futile” more than this: When trust in the Sixers ownership and front office is probably at an all-time low, the sales team sold 2,800 new full season ticket packages for next season. Those relentless sales people are good.
You can say whatever you want, but you gotta vote with your wallet. No matter how committed you are to keeping it closed out of protest until you actually see the framed medical degrees of all their team doctors, people with thicker billfolds than you don’t have that issue. It looks like Scott O’Neil is “ably and efficiently [separating] the good people of the Delaware Valley from their wallets” after all.
But that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is that, in celebration of the sales team doubling their season ticket goal, a bunch of people got really bad haircuts.

That’s Sixers’ Senior VP of Ticket Sales Jake Reynolds’ head now. And don’t get me wrong, clipper Kenny Duncan nailed it, but getting someone’s head buzzed into your head has always struck me as the most bizarre thing. The rest of the team joined in too:

ENHANCE:
Sir, don’t freak out, but there’s a very moody ghost on your head.
Congrats to the Sixers’ sales staff anyway. I guess the people who can afford full season ticket plans don’t screen your calls as much as the rest of us.
