I sat in the second row behind the Lakers' bench in the Staples Center for the entire playoffs in 2001. Those were probably the best playoff seats that I have had.

I've sat in the first row and in the courtside press seats before, but that year was probably the best because it was through a whole playoff run.

I paid face value; my friend was a ticket broker.

[lil_penny]

never been close to the floor.. most the time im in the club level suites, they are kinda high up but still pretty fun. I had my hands on blazer/lakers tickets last year behind the lakers bench but i ended up not being able to make it so sold them to a friend :( too damn bad i wanted to throw gum in sashas hair!

[kamikazi_player]

Way too high, like all the way on top. Was watching the Spurs and Clippers play and had to use binoculars.

The worst seats I had, I could touch the ceiling at the Veteran's Memorial Coliseum (old Suns arena).

row 1, just behind courtside at the ACC (Toronto)

[dirk4mvp]

The row behind the Hornets bench last year and the Knicks bench 2 years ago. My friend's dentist game them to him. 2 shit teams, but awesome seats.

Chris Paul was out that game. I'm pretty sure he wears lip gloss and he walks like he has a meatpole jammed in his ass.

LMAO I was at the Bulls game today to watch the Hornets and I thought the same exact thing...

[JoeTait75]

Game 3 of the 2008 ECSF against the Celtics, second row behind the Cavaliers bench at the Q. EXPENSIVE seats, but when you got there you know where that money went.

I own you as much as the Mavs and Cavs own the Lakers.

[JoeTait75]

... We got to our seats about an hour before the game and Mark Price and Larry Nance were just chilling down there. Dude I was with saw Price and practically creamed himself. :lol

Okay, you win.

[cobbler]

Sat next to Magic and Dianne one night as a freebie. Hated it. Too many distractions. Being famous in todays world would really suck.

Then how's come you ain't been by to let me sit on yer face since Christmas 2009?

Baseline at the SBC thanks to a friend during the Mavs game when Malik went down at the '03 playoffs.

Courtside at the SBC in Peter Holt's seat for a WNBA game vs. L.A.

[baseline bum]

Directly under the basket, not next to, but directly on the floor (as in my ass physically touching the court as I watched the game) during a Spurs-Bullets game in 1988. It was literally close enough for me to reach out and punch Moses Malone in the nuts every time he went to grab a rebound. :lol

I won a contest to be a ballboy for the game, and got to be introduced with and high-five all the Spurs in the pregame introductions. From that distance the game looks about 100x more physical than it ever does on TV. It was pretty awesome because I was not only a huge Spurs fan, but Bernard King was my favorite non-Spurs player and this was his first season back after destroying his knee.

Second best was probably when I sat front row for a Spurs-Lakers playoff game in 1986. My dad actually caught a bad pass on one possession, and I was pissed because he gave the ball to the ref instead of letting me shoot it. :lol

Center court suite on a New Years Eve game a few years ago.

Got luxury box tickets to Seattle and Chicago Finals in Seattle for $60 bucks a ticket 2 minutes after the start of the game with luxury food service etc and great view. Also had free court side tickets right next to Spurs bench for a home game vs. Rockets in the David Robinson area (given by friend while I was in the military there).

I was sitting next to Jamie Foxx, Tia Carrere, The Big Black dude from The Green Mile. Omar Epps, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Hewitt was extremely friendly.
like i always say, all da celebritys love da Lakas 4 a reason!!!!!

[YellowFever]

Right behind the photography guys at the base line.

Friend is a commercial real estate agent and gets hooked up all the time from his clients.

About 3 times close enough to the Lakers bench to hear their chatter between games...also due to a friend.

These days, I sit in the AT&T Luxury box about 5 to 7 times a year (close to mid court, facing the lakers bench in the lower section of the luxury boxes) because my friend is a mid level sales executive for AT&T. They use it to entertain big clients but alot of times those fuckers swing it so they bring their family, friends.....etc....LoL

A case of beer, some buffet warmers with chili, hotdogs, nachos, and finger food is always available and pretty decent most of the time..LoL

Yeah...my life sucks..but I got useful friends! :P

[jacobdrj]

Lower bowl of the Palace, on a corner 5 rows up from the floor. The seats had been removed. In their place were bean-bags and couches. Me and my fellow students all watched a live game, court-side, as if we were in our own living-room!

Man, I am going to miss the Detroit Shock...

[alchemist]

I've had the pleasure of having incredible seats over the years thanks to relatives who work for wealthy Bosses. :toast

[Bukefal]

like i always say, all da celebritys love da Lakas 4 a reason!!!!!


For a reason?! haha yeah, for no reason. For them its a hype, everyone in hollywood is doing it, so they must too. The dont give a shit about the Lakers. They dont give a shit about basketball nor winning or players. They see it as an extra accessory. It's good as a celeb to be seen there. So do most of the laker fans, its about the image and because its cool in their eyes. Artificial fans.

Except for Jack Nicholson maybe.

[jdev82]

the 26th of december, the bucks game, 2nd row right next to the press box where they do halftime stuff. not a great view but it was great to interact with tony smith and i got some good pics before my camera ran out.

anyone wanna tell me how to post pics?

[JamStone]

This was 6 years ago, but about 8 rows behind press row close to center court. Cool thing was it was Rasheed Wallace's first game with the Pistons just after the trade, against KG and the Timberwolves. But Sheed couldn't play in the second half because the league said his paperwork had not been finalized at halftime. No one in the Palace knew so everyone was like WTF at Larry Brown for not playing Sheed in the second half. Was still a good game that I believe went down to the final seconds but was a loss. Pretty exciting cuz I could hear some of the shit players were saying when they were close enough on that side of the court. KG wouldn't shut up lol but I was a big fan of his then so I thought it was funny. The people in that section sucked though. They didn't cheer much at all. I stood up a couple times to cheer and the guy behind me got mad. I was like wth I'm just cheering at a basketball game. Smh stuck up pricey ticket fans.

[Sportcamper]

I had the Albertson’s corporate seats “5 row, 4 seats” at Staples…I knew an Albertson’s executive who would call me when nobody else wanted the tickets…I was able to see Kevin Garnett when he was with Minnesota plus many of the Sacramento Kings games when they had a fierce Lakers rivalry…Back then few people in LA had heard of the T-Wolves & most folks thought the Kings meant hockey…

Also for about 20 bucks you could get great seats & see Michael Jordan when Chicago played the Clippers at the Forum….

[JoeTait75]

like i always say, all da celebritys love da Lakas 4 a reason!!!!!

Yeah, dey love da Lakas 4 the simple reason that da Lakas are in L.A. and so is Hollywood. If Hollywood was in Milwaukee the celebrities would be Bucks fans.

Floor seats. One row back and several seats over from where Bill Russell was sitting. Game 2 of the 2005 finals.

A friend / client took me to the game.
