Three of ten MLTT Portland items carried a low-stock flag

The league ticket shop listed ten items for 20 to 22 November. Two flags sat on Friday, one on Saturday, none on Sunday.

Ten items, three flags

Major League Table Tennis sells its Portland weekend session by session. The league ticket shop listed ten items for 20 to 22 November at the Oregon Convention Center: six matches and four passes.

A read on 26 October found three of the ten carrying "Few tickets available". They were New York Slice against Atlanta Blazers at 4 p.m. on Friday 20 November, New York Slice against Los Angeles Spinners at 4 p.m. on Saturday 21 November, and the Friday Pass for 20 November.

The other seven read "Tickets available". That set holds the Weekend Pass, the Friday 7:30 p.m. match, the Saturday Pass, the Saturday 7:30 p.m. match, the Sunday 11 a.m. match, the Sunday Pass and the Sunday 2:30 p.m. match.

The flags land on Friday

Two of the three flags sit on Friday. One is the opening match. The other is the pass that covers that match and the 7:30 p.m. match behind it. Saturday carries one flag. Sunday carries none.

Read the pass flag first. A guest who wants all of Friday buys the Friday Pass, and the pass is the flagged item. The Friday 7:30 p.m. match reads available, which places the tight inventory on the afternoon match and on the bundle around it.

Two sessions at one base price

The Friday 4 p.m. match prices at 15 dollars general admission, 10 dollars for a child, a student or a senior, 30 dollars courtside and 45 dollars VIP. The Sunday 11 a.m. match carries the same four base prices.

Friday 4 p.m. flags. Sunday 11 a.m. reads available. Two sessions at one base price and two different flags tell a desk where the day demand sits.

The six singles run 15 to 25 dollars general admission, 30 to 45 courtside and 45 to 60 VIP on the base ladder.

The pass arithmetic, base and all-in

On base prices the Friday Pass sells at 30 dollars against 35 for the two Friday singles. The Saturday Pass sells at 40 against 45. The Sunday Pass sells at 35 against 40. The Weekend Pass sells at 100 against 120 for all six singles.

The shop displays all-in prices. The Friday Pass starts at 33.65 dollars, the Saturday Pass at 44.20, the Sunday Pass at 38.93 and the Weekend Pass at 107.50. The two Friday singles start at 12.55 and 17.83 all-in, which sums to 30.38.

That gap changes the advice. On the shop starting prices the Friday Pass costs more than two Friday singles bought separately, and the base ladder says the pass saves five dollars. Quote the base saving with the all-in figures beside it.

A rate test scoped to Friday

Friday is the night the flags mark. Saturday adds one flagged session inside a day whose pass reads available. Sunday reads open on every item.

Test a Friday-only move first. It leaves Saturday and Sunday at their present price and shows its effect in the Friday Pass count over the following days. A whole-stay move folds three days into one number, and the flags cannot separate the result.

The flag is a session indicator on a ticket inventory. The venue page publishes no attendance forecast for the weekend, and the league publishes no room or attendance figure on the event pages. The ticket shop is the published demand record, and it moves.

Take the read again

Count the flags again on the morning of the decision. Put the date and the hour beside the count, because a reading describes the hour it was taken in. Three flags today can read two tomorrow, and one of them is the whole Friday case.

The group channel takes seats in bulk

Every session page and every pass page carries the same group terms. Groups of 10 to 14 take 10 percent off automatically. A party of 15 or more takes 15 percent off. Groups over 20 get on-court moments and player access, arranged through groups@mltt.com.

A 15-person group removes 15 seats from a flagged session in one transaction. The 10 to 14 band comes off inventory without a call, and the desk sees the effect only in the flag.

Two programmes on the same nights

The venue November 2026 calendar carries nine bookings. Hoffman Annual Meeting and Dinner holds Oregon Ballroom 202-203 on 20 and 21 November, the same Friday and Saturday as the table tennis. ACE Awards takes the Portland Ballroom on 19 November, the night before the first session.

Two client programmes run in one building across the two peak nights. Both draw on the room inventory inside walking distance of the doors.

Supply inside the walk

Thirteen hotels sit within 1,200 metres of the venue on a straight-line measure read on 25 October.

The venue garage holds 800 spaces at 15 dollars for up to 18 hours, with no in-and-out privilege. A dynamic 15 to 25 dollars applies at entry during events. Overnight parking is prohibited, and the garage opens at 6 a.m. A guest holding a 7:30 p.m. Friday ticket leaves the car at the property for the night.

Three lines for the desk

Name Friday as the night the flags mark. Quote the pass saving with its all-in figures beside it. Re-read the ten items on the morning of the decision and put the date and the hour beside the count.
