In town tonight and was thinking about attending the game. Is there a safe resale site to deal with ticket holders rather than dealing with ticketmaster or SeatGeek and their fees?

I understand that....I guess what I'm looking for is something similar to the LSU tix exchange in this site. I frequently have bought and sold tickets directly from holders.

There’s a ticket exchange forum on this website that was made specifically for local fans to buy and sell tickets.

How many tickets you need?


Edit:
Sorry bro… I would have offered. I wasn’t planning on making it tonight, but we’re going

Hope you got the hook up

But if you make it, I got you a free pregame or halftime beer

I have seen more free tickets posted here than for sale over the years. I just use the ticket rep, she can usually get me pretty good uppers for $25 or decent lowers for $50.

I’ve got some questions that I may as well ask here. I want to get tickets for me and my son for Christmas. Is there a pattern to Zion’s sitting out? Like if he sits tonight, it would be injury (ankle) related and not just that it’s load management and the 2nd night of a back to back, right?

I don’t think he sits every 2nd night of back to backs, so when he does, does it matter if the 1st game was on the road? And would that depend on where it was? Like he’s more likely to sit a back-to-back if the 1st game was in Portland than Houston, surely?

Or does he mainly sit when the 2nd game’s on the road and this is moot?

Does it matter how many total games they’ve played in a particular span beyond just the back to backs? Does the quality of opponent matter?

I’m just trying to figure out if there’s a discernible pattern or if it’s all just random or dependent on how he feels on that particular day? Just the “load management” days, obviously he could tweak something at any time.

My son’s never been to an NBA game, but he is obsessed with basketball (He didn’t take to my obsession with baseball sadly) and loves the Pelicans. He’s souring on Zion like a lot of us, but would still be pretty bummed if he didn’t play. And since we don’t live in Baton Rouge anymore—have taken the sad, depressing trek back to my NLA roots—and he’s busy with sports most of the year, this might be a 1-time/year thing, and I want to get good seats so his 1st experience will be memorable.

I’ve rambled as I’m prone to do. Forgive me. Assuming Zion is healthy ( ), are there any games on the horizon that y’all would recommend based on the relative likelihood that he will play? Opponent matters a little, but I’ve seen too many of you guys buy marked up Warriors tickets only to have both Steph and Klay sit to fall into that trap.

And what is the best way to buy them? Any particular 3rd party you guys like best? Or should we just pick a game and go through the ticket exchange here a couple of days prior or even outside the Smoothie King the day of.

I’ve never been to a game there. And I get there’s a value to having tickets in hand/on phone well before the game to eliminate that worry. But I’ve never had trouble sticking a couple fingers up outside the Dome or Tiger Stadium and finding tickets just before kickoff, and I usually wind up finding better seats and cheaper. Obviously there are a lot less seats in the Blender, though, and I’d hate to get caught paying WAY more than I anticipated or just not getting any at all.


TIA for all the responses. Even from the inevitable assholes.

I think all of the popular ones are generally the same but will say, I seem to consistently have the best luck on TickPick.

Obviously there are fees, but I do like that TickPick never goes through the hassle of giving you a price, then you have to go to checkout to see the actual price after fees. The price you see when searching is the price out the door. And like I said, I check 4 or 5 apps when I wanna go to a show/sporting event, and it does vary here and there, but I end up purchasing from TickPick a good bit more than any of the others.




I could be wrong or wording it incorrectly but I also think TickPick is an aggregating type of site. Meaning, I'll find the deal/price on TickPick and purchase there. But then you get an email to complete the purchase, and last time for example, from that email the purchase and my tickets are actually through TicketMaster via the TickPick app.

Thank you and everyone else for the responses. I’ve looked at a couple games and this is what my plan is. What’s the value of closer to the floor vs. opponent. For example, let’s say I can get 2 against Memphis really close to the court around midcourt for $150/piece or a good bit farther up or in a corner section for the same price, what do you think would be the better experience? Even if Lebron didn’t play for whatever reason, they’re still the Lakers and I’d imagine there’d be some juice in there.

I know you can’t answer all these questions for me, I’m gonna have to pick a budget that’s reasonable and a day we can actually go. Just trying to balance it best.

And are there any sections/views to avoid for whatever reason, even if they’re lower? Like something unexpected that I wouldn’t know until we walked in and sat down.
