2011-12 ATTENDANCE UPDATE: Friday night's crowd of 19,356 marked the Wolves' 10th sellout of the season - most since they had 14 during the 2003-04 campaign - and the fourth consecutive capacity crowd (fifth in six games), the first such streak since the Wolves recorded five straight sellouts from March 21, 2004 to April 4, 2004. The Wolves have drawn a total of 79,666 over their last three games (March 9 vs. L.A. Lakers - 20,164; March 10 vs. New Orleans - 20,123; March 25 vs. Denver - 20,023, March 30 vs. Boston - 19,356), their largest four-game total since the Wolves began playing at Target Center (1990-91). At 17,684, the Wolves are averaging 2,441 more fans per game this season, a 16.0% increase from a year ago (15,243), good for the highest uptick in the NBA this season. Minnesota is on pace for its highest average attendance since the 2001-02 season when they averaged 17,846 per game.
SALES UPDATE: In addition to being at capacity in the Club Cambria and Loge Box premium seating areas for the 2012-13 season and at 95% capacity in the Wolves Lexus Courtside Club, 1000 new members have joined the pack through the first four weeks of the "Everyone's Talking About the Timberwolves" season ticket membership campaign. Coming into this year the Wolves were one of five NBA teams to sell 2,000+ new full season tickets in each of the last two seasons.
The Wolves also hosted a near-record 500 attendees at the team's select-a-seat event this past Saturday. The Wolves' select-a-seat is an annual event where season ticket holders can view newly released inventory to upgrade their seats or add on additional seating.
RENEWAL UPDATE: The Wolves, who currently have their largest season ticket membership holder base since the 2005-06 season with over 8,000 full season pack members, have already renewed at 95 percent for next season. It's the first time the Wolves have surpassed the 90 percent renewal mark since the 2004-05 season.
