So for the MEM game on Sunday March 30th, should I get tickets early or would I get better prices just buying from a scalper a half an hour before the game starts? I will look at 200-level seats if they are a good deal but I actually don't mind being up with the crazies in the 300 section.

I like the Original. http://originaldinerant.com/ Ate there a while back when I was staying at a hotel in the area. Roxy always had a long ass wait and a bunch of smelly people and street kids and trannies.
Never really had to wait in line at the Roxy. Never really have to deal with smelly people or street kids. But definitely trannies. It's in, or right by, Vasoline Alley. What do you expect? It's a great way to end the evening. Delicious breakfast food and great people-watching.
Bonneville Dam is pretty cool. lots of good memories as a kid watching the salmon go upstream or whatevz.
Kids will probably hate you if you do most of what is suggested BTW. In Portland, I'd probably hit up the Zoo, OMSI, Waterfront Park (fountain kids love that), maybe Saturday Market as well. Multnomah Falls and Bonneville Dam too in one trip as well. Walk around the Park Blocks, go to the Oregon Historical Museum. Powell's Bookstore is a must-see. Ride the Max Train or Portland Street cars around. Pictures in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Pine State Biscuits will probably be kid friendly, but the waits on the weekend are fucking terrible. The PSU Farmer's market is a bit better but then you're eating in a park (which isn't the worst thing in the world). Food pods might be fun to go to eat as well, as will the Tasty and Alder downtown. Kids probably like simpler food though. Kenny and Zuke's is a great suggestion as well. I'd get a steak at Sayler's Old Country Kitchen. Its so old school Portlandia...not the best steak but a fun place, family friendly meals. I guess you can go to Jake's Crawfish, I think it sucks, but its a pretty famous place to hit up. Or the big Old Spaghetti Factory down on Macadam, its a huge mansion, very cool shit out there....cheap too for a full meal and kids love it, esp the Spumoni Ice Cream. Andina's is really good too, if you want some adventurous peruvian cuisine, probably better for lunch if you have kids. and motherfucking BURGERVILLE. If you're bored at night maybe hit up Big Al's (www.ilovebigals.com) for food, beers, sports, and video games for the kids.
It depends on if you want guaranteed tickets. You'll get better prices if you wait to but them on line, but you won't have all of the tickets together.
If I was only after two tickets I should be able to get them together right? And the cheapest place would be to get the at the resell website?
I have tried a couple times buying tickets on the resell site within an hour before the game starts, and I do not always find cheap tickets. I tend to find good prices on tickets, but they aren't exactly cheap.
Is this game a likely sellout since it is on a Sunday evening? If it isn't a likely sellout then should I just wait and get tickets when I arrive in POR?
Your guess is as good as mine. Sorry I can't tell you any better. There are others on this board that have more experience, but they don't seem to be responding.
