    Ticket to the Laker game

    I found no ticket anywhere that I could afford for this game. I guess everyone has the same problem.

    get to the game at about the 10 minute mark in the game and you can get a ticket pretty cheap from the scalpers I have done it for three of the games within the last three weeks

    I'm going to be in town & I'm just trying to find *ONE* ticket for a reasonable price. Face value x 3 (or 4) to me is not reasonable for section 4xx tickets ($120!).

    So, if I want one ticket, its gonna cost me $100+! BLAH!

    I got TWO tickets FRI for $53!

    My friend said he was getting a ticket for this game from VIP tickets place off the southwest freeway for like $65. His ticket is in the 400's section though.

    Usually if you call before the game starts on that day... You can get some great prices. Last night I was at the game only paid 30 bucks for 60 dollar tickets.

    LOL, suddenly it's $175. How long ago did your friend buy it? If can call them up & get it for that price, I'll pay HIM $10! ;)

    I'm going down on FRI. I'm seeing tickets for around $100-$150 EACH, but sold as a pair. I see a decent pair going for $200 ($100/each) right now.

    Say you'll split, & I'll hold off, otherwise, I'm buying this $100 single right now (or could sell it later).

    Lemme know . . .

    Well if you're on a budget... Your best bet is to wait outside for ticket scaplers or call the day of and see what they might have still. It's the best i can tell you.

    Right now everyone is going to request top dollar for tickets...

    Yeah he just told me they went up over night which was expected. He talked to them yesterday around 6pm. The lowest ticket is $125 to sit way in the back. Now the best bet is to wait game night and wait for a person to turn in their extra ticket so VIP and 713 Tickets can resell it. Otherwise you are paying big money. Rockets should sell tickets on ticketmaster, that would make it a lot easier.
