THUNDER UP IN THE PARK:

Thunder UP in the Park is a free, pregame party at Scissortail Park plaza (S. Robinson and OKC Boulevard) that begins three hours and 30 minutes prior to every home playoff game and concludes 30 minutes before tipoff.

Activities include the Michelob ULTRA Beer Garden and the Thunder Ticket Challenge presented by Simple Modern where fans, age 18 and older, can enter to win free tickets for that night’s game.

HALF-PRICE CONCESSIONS:

For those with tickets, doors open two hours before tipoff and food and beverages are half-off for the first hour, excluding the Michelob ULTRA Club, Jack Daniels, and suites. Game attendees are encouraged to make their way into Paycom Center when doors open so they can take advantage of the food and beverage discount, put on their playoff T-shirts and get to their seats to welcome Thunder players to the floor.

PLAYOFF T-SHIRTS:

A fan favorite since 2010, the Thunder will place a playoff T-shirt on each seat at Paycom Center for every home playoff game. Game attendees should plan to arrive early to join in this OKC playoff tradition and gear up before the players hit the floor.

AUCTION:

During each playoff home game, the Thunder will auction player-autographed items, as well as other signed sports memorabilia, to benefit the Thunder Community Foundation.

THUNDER HALL:

Fassler Hall locations in OKC and Tulsa are being transformed into Thunder Hall and will serve as official Thunder Watch Party destinations. All playoff games will be on the big screens and during away games, Thunder Hall will include giveaways, Thunder-themed entertainment and special appearances.

THUNDER WATCH ZONES:

Thunder Watch Zones presented by Michelob ULTRA offer more options for fans to gather with friends and watch the Thunder playoff action. There are four zones in Oklahoma City and one in Tulsa: OKC Tap House, Social Capital, Truck Yard, Toby Keith’s I Love this Bar & Grill, and Puck’s Bar and Grill in Tulsa.
