    Why go if you're not going to sit in absolutely great seats? ....and do it at a decent price? Kids have a hard time seeing the game as it is. They don't need anybody walking in front of them, too. Because you're Dead Center, there's always a great view, even for a child watching the game. These seats are so perfectly dead center, it's like sitting in the comfort of your living room. Every other seat in the arena is like looking at a bigscreen from a side angle. Yeah, you're watching the game, but you know your view sucks. I'm selling these cheaply. What more could you ask for? You don't know how much better it is to sit DEADCENTER, until you sit DEADCENTER. Just 4 seats over is a real difference...so how much would 1 section, or 3 sections, or 5 sections be? It's not a better view if it's 2 sections over and lower. You're still looking at the game from a weird angle. If you are bringing a child, the T-Shirts at the end of the 3rd Quarter are shot right to these seats. I got 5 myself one year and get at least a couple every year. Of course, I hand them to any child that's sitting around me.

    These seats are DEAD CENTER!!! The mid-court line separates these two seats so nobody walks in front of you ever...during the game, during timouts, or at halftime. They are the best seats to see the game and half-time activities, and National anthem, and all other minute-to-minute entertainment as the hosts are always facing you. The Cheerleaders face you. The players' benches face you. The big-screen faces you where it doesn't face anyone else anywhere else in the Rose Garden. On the opposite side of the arena, the players on the screen are going one direction and in real-time going the opposite direction. The High-Def Big-Screen is so crystal clear that you sometimes look at it and forget the live action is going on down below. I'm giving these seats away as they're better than any of the individual seats in the arena that costs $100 or less. All of the seats on the sides of the court (including Paul Allen's seats) and on the other side of the arena are worse seats for viewing the action. These are always and have always been season ticket seats. They're never available at the box office.

    For 1/4 of the season (11 games X 2 seats for each game) you're cost would only be $478.07. For 1/2 of the season (22 games X 2 seats for each game) you're cost would only be $956.14. I'll make my decision on Wednesday (May 20th).

    Two tickets alone to seats in this location in this section during the playoffs were going for $480 on Craigs List. For the exact same price, you get 11 games plus a guarantee for the playoffs at only $25 per ticket (for the 1st Round).

    The Seats' location is DEAD CENTER in the middle of section 318. Send me a PM if you're interested.

    I wouldn't do this if I didn't have to.

    I think they are in the corner. :devilwink:

    I have to be honest, if this weren't your first post, I'd actually consider taking you up on this. As it is though, to say I'm a bit hesitant is being pretty conservative.

    If you're interested, call me. Any details I can answer over the phone.

    There's no need to be a jerk about this, especially when I've humbled myself to come online and do this.

    Section 318 is better than Paul Allen seats? You really think so?

    I don't think anyone is being a jerk. It was a long descriptive analysis about the seats and why they are so good, but all you do is give the section. Usually when one sells tickets they give all the info (section, row, seat number).

    For being so descriptive about the tickets, you left out the most basic information. That is bound to get some responses on this board . . . just take it as good natured fun gving you a hard time and you'll see it in a different light.

    I'm still not sure where DEAD-CENTER is, do you have a link to the virtual seating section for the RG. I've never sat DEAD-CENTER so I wouldn't know what it feels like.

    There have been a ton of speculators scooping up season tix ever since the Oden lottery, and they have been losing money hand over fist trying to resell them. (It doesn't help that the Blazers have been raising ticket prices when no other team has.) That's why craigslist is flooded with cheap deals all season long - they're holding out for the big title run when they think they'll make a killing. My season ticket rep says he always knows when he makes courtesy calls on his ticket holders and they act like they've never actually even attended a game themselves.

    I'm sure many are bailing as it's not looking like such a sure thing anymore - or at least how long can you hemmorage money waiting?

    'Course, I don't know anything about this guy, but his post sure reads like those craigslist ads from people who somehow have TEN IN A ROW, YOUR CHOICE, DEAD CENTER!!!

    Let it run a while - this post-playoff forum needs something to liven it up! (And we don't have Mixum to kick around)

    Don't close the thread, some of the better more witty posters haven't had a chance to reply to the OP. :D

    But damn am I naive. I thought this was legit and OP got so caught up in describing how great these tickets are that they frogot to give the relavent information. But on second thought, who types out that long exagerated description and then "forgets" to give the important information?

    Scam

    I believe he said the seats are DEAD CENTER! That also means you get to have a bar in your eyes when your sitting down.

    I think that's a google #, because I had one of those too situated in Beaver Oregon.
