    Figured we should have a thread where one can let the forum know if they're selling tickets. It'd probably be easier than selling on a ticket resale website and selling directly means no buyers fees!!!

    With that, I want to ask if anyone has having used the ticket upgrade system?

    I bought one ticket in the 300 level for tomorrow and plan on upgrading. Does anyone know how easy it is to do and what the prices are to upgrade? Any tips?

    I think you can upgrade now via the Blazer app.

    Usually cannot upgrade till about an hour before gametime. I have done it a bunch of times. Price depends on supply/demand. Usually 20-40 dollars will get you into the lower bowl.

    I bought the ticket for $17. If I could get into the 100 level without spending more than $50 total that'd be a steal.

    Do you know how much courtside upgrades usually are? And can you ever upgrade 2 tickets at a time?

    I have never seen a courtside upgrade available. Yes, you can upgrade more than one ticket. Obviously this does not work with higher demand games. Would check the Ticketmaster site to see if there is inventory available.

    I bought a pair of seats in the lowest price category for this purpose.

    Great idea!

    @Charcoal Filtered is the knowledge man on this. He got me to purchase season tickets based on all the info he educated me on regarding this. :)

    And dammit, before anyone buys 300 level tickets, talk to me first. There are games I cant go to and I love to help others out. You got that @BonesJones ????
    :)

    Sounds good!

    It was a great idea. Was able to sit in Sec 106 Row D for less than $50 total.

    I'm going to start doing this. Especially during mediocre games. You can do it using the blazer app now. Spent 60 for section 220 row g, which is a pretty good deal, but I think you can make out better doing the upgrade

    I think upgrades are only one seat at a time. I haven't seen more than 1 ticket. But I got 106 Row D for $48 total so if you don't mind going alone its worth it.

    I have done 2 seats before. I think it was the Clippers last year where we got 121's. Me, Jfizz, and his buddy upgraded together as well.

    I saw courtside seats for the first time as an upgrade option. $126 would have gotten seats third row tonight.
