New Jersey Nets: Basketball game and tax returns!

There are only three guarantees in life: death, taxes…and New Jersey Nets basketball.
At least, that’s what the Nets want you to think.
In what is certainly one of the more unique promotions of recent years, the New Jersey Nets are offering free tax returns to their fans.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—Roni Deutch Tax Center, one of the nation’s fastest growing tax preparation franchise companies, will provide all New Jersey residents 18 years and older who attend the NETS-Orlando Magic game at the IZOD CENTER on Friday, March 5 with a coupon for preparation of a free state tax return.
Through a new partnership with NETS Basketball, Roni Deutch Tax Center will have representatives on site at NETS Tax Night on March 5 to answer tax-related questions before and during the game.
In addition, NETS fans who attend any upcoming home game at the IZOD CENTER this season, other than March 5, can receive a coupon in the NETS Game Program good for up to $50 off of tax preparation services at a Roni Deutch Tax Center in Hackensack, Bergenfield, and Fair Lawn. Upon completion of their returns, Roni Deutch customers will also receive NETS tickets for this season, while supplies last. (via NBA)
Wow. This promotion is made more interesting by the fact that the Nets are a bad team. Like, historically bad. So I don’t know how many fans will actually be at the March 5th game, or any of the other games to actually take advantage of the promotion. On the other hand, if you have a really complex tax return full of itemized deductions and capital gains and the like, maybe you spend a few bucks on a Nets game and save yourself a lot of money on your taxes.
An interesting cost-benefit analysis, if nothing else.
