Come early and stay late. EO Chicago is taking over a private room at the United Center before the Bulls play the Washington Wizards, and we’re bringing a guest with some great stories.
Joe O’Neil has run tickets for the Chicago Bulls for decades. In the ’90s, he managed the hottest ticket in sports while the Bulls won two three-peats. He has six championship rings to show for it, and he’s the longest-tenured ticket executive in the NBA.
He grew up on the South Side with no connections and no one to open doors for him, so he learned to open them himself. He got his job with the Bulls by walking into their offices and refusing to leave until someone interviewed him. What happened next is a story he only tells in person. His own line for it: “Sometimes, you just have to kick the damn door down.”
Joe will share behind-the-scenes stories and experiences from the Bulls’ championship era. He will also be bringing along a surprise Bulls Ambassador – a former player from one of the Bulls’ championship teams. Who will it be?
Grab a drink, bring your questions for Joe, and stay for a night cheering on our Chicago Bulls.
