Lakers Playing a Game at the Great Western Forum Oct. 9th

INGLEWOOD - The Los Angeles Lakers will play at the Forum for the first time since 1999 when they face the Golden State Warriors Oct. 9 in an exhibition game in connection with team's 50th anniversary in Los Angeles.

Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 12 at Ticketmaster outlets, online at ticketmaster.com or by calling (800) 4-NBA-TIX. They will be priced at $13, $24, $34, $40, $58, $85.50, $103 and $133.

"Visiting the Forum for the game is the perfect way to launch the celebration of 50 years of Lakers basketball in Los Angeles," said Jeanie Buss, the Lakers executive vice president of business operations.

The Forum was built by the late Jack Kent Cooke, the Lakers' second owner in Los Angeles, after a spat with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission over ownership of Los Angeles' National Hockey League expansion team.

The Lakers made their debut at the Forum on Dec. 31, 1967 with a 147-118 victory over the San Diego Rockets. The Lakers' most recent game at the Forum was a 112-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns in an exhibition game on Oct. 22, 1999, shortly before their move to their current home, Staples Center.

The Forum is now owned by Faithful Central Bible Church. It is used for services, concerts, movie filming and occasional high school basketball games.
