Raptors vs Nuggets October 3rd

[jabjab]

I love basketball and unfortunately never had the opportunity to watch a live NBA game and the Raptors coming to Calgary is something I have to go to.

People in my office are saying they plan on buying a bunch of tickets and reselling them which is retarded.

I didn't think that this would be high demand and planned on ordering my tickets when they go on sale tomorrow. I do however have a chance to get 1 single ticket now on the presale or buy a couple at section 200 in higher rows like 20 plus.

My question is, should I buy now if i really want to go to avoid the risk of being sold out cause I'd hate to be tempted to buy overpriced tickets for a preseason game.

[andyg16]

I think they've set the limit to 4 tickets per order so hopefully that prevents people from buying up a bunch to sell for a premium!

I'm on the same boat, never had the opportunity to watch a game live! I'll be up nice and early tomorrow trying to order tickets.

[flipstah]

I got section 204 for cheep so why not lol.

[rage2]

Anyone have floor seats? Will pay premium haha.

You should have early access as a flames ticket holder. Website has been down all Morning tho

Tickets seem pretty steep for exhibition. Gunna check stub hub in 2 weeks after they realize why we don't have an NBA team.

[flipstah]

$27 is steep?

I'm just basing it on the price ranges I saw when I went on ticketmaster. I haven't seen individual seat prices so no idea what those ranges translate too. Just said 16-190 dollars each.

[flipstah]

This should be fun. Get the club turnt up on a Monday. :rofl:

[rage2]

$190 for floor seats. None were available. Really, the tickets are shit with the season ticket holder presale codes. It's all bullshit seats in the ends with terrible views. Rather pay scalper prices.

[brucebanner]

Probably take a couple floor seats too if they're sub $200. Considering its a preseason game and all.

Been to several regular season games. Excited to catch some ball locally, preseason or not.

[flipstah]

I'm in section 204. Meh.

[rage2]

$190 for floor seats are list price. I'm OK paying more than that, even for a preseason game.

[88CRX]

When do they go on sale to the public?

Pre-sale sucked.

Tomorrow at 10am (september 2nd)

I picked up some presale as back up plan tickets.

[flipstah]

Let's just get shitfaced on a Monday :rofl:

[jabjab]

Wonder if the teams would go anywhere after the game to party? Calgary Monday nights are known to be wild...

[K3RMiTdot]

Tried to get floor seats in the season ticket holder pre-sale - had no luck. I'll try again tomorrow morning.

I'm sure cowboys will have an "official after party" or some shit and open for the Monday.

Or like mentioned. Wings. hahaha

[lasimmon]

Wow. On sale at 10:00... No tickets available...

[rage2]

Ya fuck that sold out quick.

Stubhub has 100 level seats at 450US, floor seats at 700US. For a preseason game. :nut:

Cheaper to just fly down to SFO and watch a warriors game from box seats that our company has access to.

[roopi]

This sucks. Only singles. :thumbsdow

[beyond_ban]

I got allocated 2 PL tickets, but literally the worst seats in the house. I tried to up it to 4 rather than 2 seats and nothing was available. Crazy.

[lasimmon]

I had 4 in the 2nd level that I released to try and get better. Fuck!

[nykz]

That was ridiculous...

[Manhattan]

WTF sold out that quick? I'm guessing maybe Edmontonians are booking up tickets too. Didn't realize there's so much demand for basketball in this city.

EDIT/FYI - LA Clippers preseason tix start at 6 bucks.

I had section 117, but wanted closer to center....f my greediness :cry:

[bball2]

Holy fuck I hate ticketmaster, not getting a single available ticket unless you only search for singles. Everything on stubhub is 2-5x the price already -_-

[rage2]

Even with the pre-sale code, there were no tickets in the center section in the 100's. Everything was off to the side, even single tickets. In the 200s, nothing in the center, just some off center tickets in the upper rows.

I have a feeling all the good tickets were long gone even before the Flames season ticket presale code.

[flipstah]

Some people during the presale yesterday got 212 or 226

[jabjab]

good thing i picked up tickets on the presale yesterday corner section 203 and row 8.

[roopi]

Just got 2 tickets in PL. :rolleyes:

Not sure why I even bought them. :bullshit:

Argh!! I was at checkout with 2 PL tickets when my work computer shut down on me. I'll buy these off you if you don't want them.

[flipstah]

What's PL?

I'll let you know if I decide not to use them.

Press Level (300's)

[Manhattan]

^

Press level = nosebleeds

[killramos]

So is this just the typical ticket scalping or did that many people actually want to go to the game you think?

I'm still betting I'll have my pick of seats cheap on stub hub in 2 weeks when the scalpers have a ton of non moving product on their hands.

Calgary doesn't have much demand for NBA imo, same reason we don't have a team. Even if this is a novel one off.

And if I'm wrong, well I don't even bother going to nba games when I'm in cities that have teams :rofl:

I think it's a lot of real people. Of the dozen or so people I've talked to about it, every one has been super excited to go.

[Akumaz]

I have 2 tickets in my cart, that can hold for another 3 mins

pl 15, row 5

if anyone want, you just have to pay me cost

must let me know ASAP though

[Manhattan]

PM'd

[flipstah]

My buddy is a big Raptors fan, but can't afford to go to Toronto so got him tickets.

I don't really like basketball. Don't ask me, "Why not? You're Filipino."

Unless you want to fuckin' lose a cornea.

Uhhh, are you able to transfer those to regular folk like myself? For an exchange of monies of course.

PM me if so Rage, I could use a vacation in the new year. :drool: :thumbsup: :love:

haha nope, they're not our seats. We just have access to them because one of the GSW owners is an investor in our company and makes boxes available to us for corporate/sales functions.

[K3RMiTdot]

didn't get tickets - had seats behind the net and gave them up because i didn't want to stare at that.

[Manhattan]

On stubhub there's PL seats for 375USD and 20,000USD for floor seats. :nut:

[pheoxs]

Anyone have any spare tickets (as good seats as possible)? Meant to grab some and unfortunately shit hit the fan at work.

[rage2]

Just wait until the day of, the ticket resale is going to get cheap by then. I don't even bother with stubhub anymore, 1/2 the time the tickets don't even work. Ticketsnow and ticketmaster verified are the way to go day of when people unload because they don't want to take a loss.

Had to ask! There's no way anyone is getting to watch GSW at home for a reasonable price for the next few years.

[redsrt4]

we got 2 tickets this morning section 225 :)

[Teknix]

The scalping is unreal on these tickets. I got section 212 row 1 for $90 per ticket. People selling section 215 for $300+ per ticket.. I feel like I should just sell mine lol.

[24gtis2]

Probably a long shot but is anyone willing to part away with 4 tickets? Will pay more than face value

Does ticketsnow operate in Canada? Calgary is showing up as one of the cities but no listing for this game. :dunno:

[pheoxs]

Looking for a pair if anyone decides they can't go

[Manhattan]

Looks like courtside seats have dropped to about $400/each which is reasonable. Not a whole lot of tickets left. Saw the Denver coaching staff walking around DT this morning.

Hope it'll be a decent game!

[jabjab]

I'm pumped to watch this!

The Raptors are staying over at the Westin in Eau Claire.

[flipstah]

See you all there!:hitit:

Fuck that.

I was in Houston last year and was looking at courtside seats for like $95.

Sold out game. Hopefully we can get a NBA team in the future?

Both you and I will be long dead before Calgary sees a NBA team.

[jdmakkord]

They confirmed pre season games for the next 4 years in Calgary.

[flipstah]

204 got lit. That crowd was dead.

You mean 604. It was a decent game for preseason. Denver doesn't have the same star power as GSW.

[flipstah]

It was a decent game.

D waaaaatttttt no one wanted to do the wave :(

[flipstah]

Tomorrow is gonna suck lol. Shisha sesh

Seeing Dr J was awesome
