$389 each, but we're going to see prime LeBron, Love, Irving, Griffin, Cp3, etc.

Should be an epic game

you really shouldnt buy tickets so far in advance. anything could happen. injuries, trades, suspensions...

i buy my tickets like maybe 3 days before the game


i'l be at the lakers/celtics game this year in boston

lakers/raptors game this year in toronto

and

lakers/cavs game this year in cleveland


all around a 5-6 hour drive from ottawa.

All that money for 1 game just to sit close. You can get season tickets in some arenas for less than that.

It's fun to sit up close but the only time I do is when the tickets are given to me. I'll take more games over 1 up close any day. Best part is you can often resell what you don't want and make a pretty good portion of your money back while seeing any game you want and having first dibs on playoff tickets.

Don't even worry about those bitches that will complain about the seats. The expensive hoes aren't even worth it. Cheap women will S your D just as good and probably more often. They'll be happy with burger king for dinner too.

This was one of the last sets of 3 tickets we could buy that were good seats. Everything else was mid-tier, and just as expensive, if not more.

I've only been to one basketball game in my life, and I was sitting far away. I figure I at least for one time in my life want to see a game up close with some serious star power on the floor. Plus if you put it into context, it's about a day of works worth of money. I wouldn't pay that much regularly if I was rich, but for a one time thing? Why not go all out?

I hear ya. Not gonna lie it's a lot of fun sitting that close. Value wise though if you want to go to multiple games season tickets are awesome. Making back a lot of money isn't hard if it's an arena that's usually packed. Good for taking people out on short notice since there's always another game around the corner.

It's definitely worth it. I had courtside seats for Carmelo's 62 point game last January. It's a completely different experience being able to hear and see the players up close. I was surprised how fit Carmelo looked compared to how he looks on TV. You also get pampered a bit - a fancy lounge with free food, drinks and your own personal assistant. I don't really give a crap about that kind of thing but it's nice every now and then.

I honestly never really enjoyed going to games previously even when I had relatively good seats for big games - I prefer watching them on TV. The one exception was watching Iverson in a game that went into overtime at MSG - I think Nate Robinson hit the game winner at the buzzer.

If you wait like an hour before the game, you can find really cheap tickets for "center court" nosebleeds on Stubhub. There's a Portland / Cleveland game on Nov. 4th and I bet i'll be able to get tickets for under $15

One of the dumbest things ive ever heard. Yes thatd be great and dandy, but we dont live in a fairy tale. That like saying all things whether it be tv's, baseball games, world championships they should be a uniform price

If a consumer is willing to buy them at said price, why wouldnt a company do that. Theyll adjust prices according to demand of each game and the price a consumer is willing to buy at. Go take an econ course or get an education.

also thats a steep price j shuttles, but more power to ya if you can do it! Have a good time.

Ray has been my favorite all time player since Sonics days. I've seen Ray live before already. Plus this will probably be my last chance to see Ray live. If he's not playing, he'll probably be retired.

LeBron is just one of the reasons I'm going. This will be the best display of athleticism you can see between two teams

I really only had to spend 390, its being split between me and two friends. I'm just the one who is charging it to their paypal, but they're paying me back this week.

of course one can't expect that every ticket costs the same, but the notion that ticket prices are only based on supply/demand is ridiculous, bad for the sport/leauge in the long run, and a slap in the face for the average fan

these ticket prices are a joke, its the average joes that make the leauge as big as it is, if only rich people, who can swing 25 games for 300$ each a season (and probably the same in $
