For this season, there hasn't been alot of reasons to watch New Jersey Nets in person. However, that hasn't stopped the New Jersey Nets marketing department from trying to come up with creative ideas to get fans into the stands.
Well, their latest promotion to draw the fans, "Free Income Tax Day".
We get more from the New York Times:
Their latest promotion will be unveiled Friday, when the Nets play the Orlando Magic. New Jersey residents 18 or older who attend the game will get a coupon that they can redeem at a Roni Deutch Tax Center to get their state income tax done free.For the Nets to have a promotion like this, it's almost fitting in a way.
Representatives of Roni Deutch Tax Centers — there are nine in the New York area — will be at the game to answer tax-related questions.
Alas, the Nets will not be paying their fans’ tax bills, and a similar coupon can be downloaded from Roni Deutch’s Web site. Deutch charges $29 to prepare a state income tax return and $185 for a federal return.
Watching the New Jersey Nets play basketball makes doing your taxes seem interesting.
