2008 NBA Draft tickets go on-sale at the Madison Square Garden box office at 11 a.m. Thursday. With the Knicks and Nets in the lottery, there will be a long line. Get there early, like 10 a.m. or earlier. Tickets are $15 for reserved seats. Doors open at 6:45. Bulls on the board at 7:20.
will you be going? I do an internship all the way out in Oakland (ouch! ) and I live in Bayonne, I can't see myself making it, unfortuantly. I've always wanted to go to one of these and this year would be the most exciting in recent years for us Nets fans.

I went in 2001. It was wild. I got a bit ripped and started heckling Stern. They asked me to stop. I apologized. Then I started heckling Granik. They told me I would have to cease or they would remove me. I said Stern is like a Mob boss, I could understand the 1st round, but you are gonna kick me out in round 2 ....for Granik!?!?!?! They laughed. I then politely asked them to escort me out. They said, no, you're cool as long as you keep it down. I said: "No, seriously. I want you to kick me out. Who gets to say that they got kicked out of the NBA Draft?" Security Obliged, we shared a smoke at the exit, and we wished the Knicks and Nets respective luck. It's a fond memory. On that note, with two picks, one a lottery, a deep draft, and trade possibilities abundant....this one could top 2001.
I would go just to heckle Stephen A. Smith. JRon, I've heard that exact story somewhere else, I think it may have been BBF. Have you posted there before?

And yes, #1, that was me. But involvement there at BBF is minimal(even this week surprisingly), and frankly the leadership there is rather 'prickly' towards me.
Thought so. Welcome to S2! A lot of us posted at BBF, and are now here full time. I'm mynetsforlife over there.

Tried to go last year. Didn't make it. Not sure if I'll try again this year. And lining up at 10AM won't get you tickets. Try 7 or 8, maybe earlier.
not really sure what the fascination with going there is. probably 100x better just watching it on TV.
