    I'll get top dollar. But yeah, I dearly wish I could forgo the money and just go to the game. You know what? I think I'll get more than $1,000 for each ticket. I'll bet it's closer to $1,500. I've sold several tickets and know their value by now so I'm betting my $1,500 dollar figure is close.

    The tickets aren't cheap. They cost $180 each. Even the preseason ones are $180. Of course, that's an average cost since I have to buy the entire 43 game package. Geez, you gotta have substantial funds to do that.

    On the bright side, every year I go to the Open Seat Selection in the first group inside and I never find available seats that are better than mine.

    One time I was in intensive care in the hospital and couldn't sell my tickets on line. My wife knows nothing about computers so we had tickets that no one even sat in to three games, one was a Lakers game and one was a Cleveland game. My God, the money I lost. However, I was on the verge of not making it and after 3 1/2 weeks in intensive care I pulled through. My wife said the money be damned she just wanted her husband back. I seldom talk about it but this response reminded me. Pardon that.

    Ive done the same and cant find any in club that are as good as mine or I would upgrade I have a couple of the best 300 level tickets you can get. There are others just as good, but not many.

    Thanks for sharing man. Glad you're still with us, and the Blazers :)

    Lanny I'd at least throw the line out for some ridiculous price well ahead of the game. You can always cut the price later. It would not surprise me at all if some rich purple and piss fan would pay a lot more than that to sit behind LeBron James at his very first game as a Laker. Someone is going to think that's a chance of a lifetime, with lifetime bragging rights. But you gotta catch him before someone else does.

    I'm not telling you what to do though. Just speculating. Plus, if you're going to, I'd like for you to soak those golden shower lovers for as much as possible :)

    :cheers:

    The only way I'm going to that game is if I can't bend some smogshow clone over far enough for my rockin' seats . . .

    No, no, no that's a good suggestion and I will do it. It might help inflate prices. That's good for all of us. In business that's known as the famous win-win. If I were truly wealthy, I wouldn't sell the tickets and go to the game. I've done that before.

    I love to see the Lakers' fans in tears as they leave the Rose Garden.

    I get it. It's financial reality. Can't blame anyone. If I had season tickets, and I could cover half the cost on one game, I'd be a fool not to.

    It's in the marketing ;)

    I know. Scarlett for example just loves it when she soaks a piss fan, then the Blazers win. Which has been for how many years now? It's a very satisfying one-two punch :)

    There's nothing more satisfying.

    Drive the price up by listing it for an obscene amount to start. If dumb fuck Laker fans want to be in the building, they should pay 10x face value. The more people to inflate the prices like that, the more Laker fans are going to pay because they'll buy first.

    $750. Come on, man. Coffee is for Closers. If someone is dumb enough to buy it at that price, it'll be a laker fan. Drop it down if you can't sell it.

    Wel to be fair, they are only $42.50 each but who give a fuck about being fair to a Laker Fan.

    I wonder if HCP wants my tix for his laker buddies. Ill give him a maximum discounted CHARGE.
