    I got hit with a big increase relatively speaking, but I just won't buy parking tickets ahead of time which is about the total difference. So next year I'll be selling at the same price, but minus the parking tickets.

    I'm interested in buying some. I split half season tickets right now, and I'd like to go to more games.

    Reading back through this thread, thanks for the advise. To answer some questions off the top of my head . . . the tickets are on the team side, so you do get on TV. But not as much as the other tickets I usually get which are right behind the team bench (row B). Every free throw you get on TV. There was one time people who sat next to me had ads for a website on their T-shirts and stood up every free throw. They were eventually moved to court side seats (fans complained) but not on TV.

    The seats are not directly center court. I'm going to say they are the three point line (vistor's bench) and the half court. If people are serious and PM me, I'll get the exact location (don't know isle and exact seat number, but it is two seat with one being on the isle, think 103)


    Good to know about the resale value on big games. My friend said he actually did not have an easy time selling tickets for face value and defintely said $250 for Laker tickets and used that as an example of getting some money back. Don't think he was advertising them properly. The playoffs tickets sound like a place to make money, but I just can't se not going to a playoff game. Friend did say there were opportunties to buy more playoff tickets (we throughly discussed playoff tickets) at differnt location, but I've never heard of this before.

    In the end, I don't know how I can pass this up, but I want to keep my standing on the other tickets, I'll probably decide at the last minute. . . so CT, I'll PM you tomorrow with the details . . . don't think I exagerrated anything in the OP . . . maybe the price of the tickets in front, 4th row courtside seats, as that is what I heard but don't know for sure . . . on the teams side the first two courtside rows are taken by the meida or the teams. So really there is only two rows of courtside seats.

    CF-do you sit near free throw guy?

    They went from 54 wins and HCA to struggling for the 8th seed.....and they raised prices.

    You can't make this stuff up.

    I have a pair and single in 118, free throw guy is in 117. He has pretty nice fushia seats.

    Surprised that all he could get was $250, but not shocked since my pair in 108 row H were a tougher sell this year. The only ones I am renewing are the pair in 118 since the corner blues are a new price level.

    I would make sure those row A sec 103 seats are not on the end of the aisle. I had them about five years ago and was not happy with the view. Great for autographs, but a coach or player standing up ruins it. Row A is nice for resale in that section, but if you use them it would be better to have something just alittle higher.

    That's one of the main reason I like being a STH is I know I won't miss a playoff game. I may sell a lot of my reg season tickets, but I won't sell a playoff ticket unless my wife doesn't want to go and than I might sell one of them. :)

    Yet they still are ranked in the bottom of the league for ticket prices and are the only team in the league that has a loyalty reward program (discount).
