tickets online impossible?

[2centsworth]

sold out within 1 minute

[Ginofan]

ughhhh this bites! I had three people trying to get them for meeee BLAH!

[Kori Ellis]

I wonder if anyone from the forum got any ... and how many were actually on sale today.

[Dingle Barry]

or less...i refreshed continuously and found no tickets. fucking lame.

[Mr Dio]

I got 1 for Game #2 on Sun in Sec 125. Gone in 60 seconds, INCREDIBLE!!!

[Mr Dio]

I tried to get 2 seats but was rejected & did a search for 1 & got it.

[Kori Ellis]

That's great for you -- great seat!

[Dingle Barry]

fuck

[Mr Dio]

That's great for you -- great seat!

You N LJ want to meet a short fat messican @ the game for a couple brews?

[Kori Ellis]

In 2003, they release more tickets each day at around 4:30pm -- I wonder if that will happen again. That's how a bunch of us ended up getting tickets to Game Six of the Finals.

[Kori Ellis]

You N LJ want to meet a short fat messican @ the game for a couple brews?

I can't have any brews at the game, but yeah we'll meet up with everyone at the half.

[Dingle Barry]

we're sorry, all circuits are busy now

[Mr Dio]

Where does the Forum meet at the games?

[Clandestino]

In 2003, they release more tickets each day at around 4:30pm -- I wonder if that will happen again. That's how a bunch of us ended up getting tickets to Game Six of the Finals.

but is that when they added those extra seats that cover the fan fiesta area?

[spurschick]

I got 1 for Game #2 on Sun in Sec 125. Gone in 60 seconds, INCREDIBLE!!!

I got 1 for Game #2 as well - Sec 115, row 10!

[Kori Ellis]

Where does the Forum meet at the games?

Usually outside section 101 at the half.

[blackbucket]

They must allocate a certain number for online and each ticket outlet. Otherwise, the people waiting in line, lottery winner or not, would get screwed after about 30 seconds.

[Kori Ellis]

I got 1 for Game #2 as well - Sec 115, row 10!


That's sweet!

[red kryptonite]

Had 4 computers at once trying. Nothing.

No, it didn't have anything to do with that.

[Ginofan]

I don't think so... When I worked at a wherehouse music we had a TM machine there. All the outlets are connected within the city. Everyone has access to all the tickets available.

[blackbucket]

I got that as well sequ. I was trying to get tix for family and friends in El Paso that wanted to come. Luckily, my uncle has connections at IBM in Austin and was able to get a couple for each game.

[ChumpDumper]

Sequ with the denial of service attack.

[spurschick]

I was talking to a guy at the Spurs office yesterday who told that his mother has tickets in the balcony, but that they told her they were moving her because they needed that section for press.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, no dice. I had four connections up online thanks to some begrudgingly generous Dallas maverick fan co-workers trying to help a buddy out.

Two of us were going for game 1, two for game 2, not a thing (granted I was going for the cheap seats :lol but still).

I guess I used up all my online ticket karma in '03.

[Ginofan]

When the media and promotion people have more tickets than the fans do...that's kinda sucky

[blackbucket]

$94 for upper deck!!! Wow, it is definitely Finals time.

[red kryptonite]

I was talking to a guy at the Spurs office yesterday who told that his mother has tickets in the balcony, but that they told her they were moving her because they needed that section for press.

The Spurs will shove any fan to the side for whatever they see fit.

Everyone is a top priority, but the fan.

[spurschick]

On the bright side...
If the Spurs win in 5, we'll all be here in San Antonio watching together.
If it goes to 6 or 7, everyone has a chance again to get tickets.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think next year I'm going to spring for the 10 game "season ticket" package, then I'll be guaranteed tickets.

Then if I can't make the games I can hook up Spurstalk peeps at the cost of the ticket if they want them.

[Mr Dio]

Hey SC, they sell that Argentinian beer @ the SBC?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

On the news last night, they said that only about 1200 tickets for each game were available.

[Kori Ellis]

There are some tickets available on ticket exchange on spurs.com for both games. But they are jacked up prices.

[spurschick]

Hey SC, they sell that Argentinian beer @ the SBC?

Don't I wish!!!! :lol :lol :lol

[spurschick]

I think next year I'm going to spring for the 10 game "season ticket" package, then I'll be guaranteed tickets.

Suggestion... call now! I bought a season ticket package yesterday and the guy said they are going fast. He found me some great seats though - his direct line is 444-5722 and his name is Julian

[N.Y. Johnny]

I didn't even bother with it, i knew they'd sell out the 4 tickets available in a millisecond.
I'm not lucky, I just didn't like the odds..i figure i have a better shot of banging Monica Bellucci with a winning Texas Lotto ticket in my pocket at 12pm today than finding any Spurs finals tickets.

:lol 1 minute all 4 seats available were gone huh? at least I seen maybe 2 or 3 went to peeps from SpursTalk here :elephant ....now thats karma :tu

[Bluto Blutarsky]

re-FREAKING-diculous!! :pctoss :pctoss I can't believe that crap! Clock hits 12 and they are already sold out!
I got that crap too Sequ, I guess I was trying to type too fast :lol

So what happens to the people standing in line? by the time they figure out who's got what number and start letting them in, they are already all gone. lol this sucks.

[G-Nob]

Corporate america is ruining this country!

[Kori Ellis]

http://www.stubbhub.com/ has some tickets available for both games - they are at least $180 for upperdeck though.

[Sii]

got 1 for game 2 online

already got my ticket in my e-mail box :smokin

[G-Nob]

also try alamotickets & encore tickets

[pseudofan]

:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :depressed :pctoss :depressed



:flipoff

I WAAAAANNNNTT TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[red kryptonite]

All year long the fans carry them, then when it's money time they hand over mass tickets to the corporations.

[Faccia di Angelo]

I kept trying to get two tickets any price, best available nothing. Thought going for 1 ticket would help but no dice. I've always had the worst luck :oops

All I wanted was to go to a Finals game :cry :cry

You guys who got them are REALLY lucky, congrats. Hope you have fun there.

[red kryptonite]

The Spurs sold out.

[wildbill2u]

I wonder if anyone from the forum got any ... and how many were actually on sale today.

Couldn't have been many with all the season ticketholders having bought their allotment before the playoffs even started. Then you have the NBA brass that gets some, players allocations, and maybe even other NBA teams
get a few like the NFL does.

At any rate, I had my son in Las Vegas try through the local ticketmaster (thinking the line wouldn't be jammed like in SA) with no luck.

However, some ticket brokers out there have seats for sale for the first two games at $2,600 a ticket. You always wonder how they get those, but I guess season ticket holders sell them to make a little money.

And many of us individually longtime rabid fans were squeezed out by these corporate 'fans' who pay for their tickets with tax-decuctible money and don't really have the enthusiasm. Oh well, life sucks and we could be from Seattle.

[Sii]

All year long the fans carry them, then when it's money time they hand over mass tickets to the corporations.

its that way for the Final 4, the superbowl, BCS college football title game, the world series, etc...

it sucks...but it happens in all sports

[exstatic]

They hold tickets for the other team, too. Those are the ones that Kori was talking about that get released on game day. I got to Game 1 in 2003 that way.

[Kori Ellis]

There's a lot of tickets on ebay. But I'm not sure if people should trust all those sellers.

[mrcoon29]

Well, I'm still hitting Ticketbastard for game 2..it doesn't say sold out..just nothing available currently...

[Kori Ellis]

They hold tickets for the other team, too. Those are the ones that Kori was talking about that get released on game day. I got to Game 1 in 2003 that way.


Yeah and a lot of tickets get released that way. I remember in 2003 a bunch of people from the forum got tickets in those afternoon releases.

[mrcoon29]

Why wait to release on game day?? I would think they would release them when they find out who the next opponnet is.

[Faccia di Angelo]

oh God, now I know its not meant to be. I actually got thru on one ticket but when I tried to hit seating chart I accidentally hit search again. *poof* it was gone :depressed I couldn't believe it actually came through and caught me off guard. I didn't know what to do. Now I know I'm cursed.

[Kori Ellis]

Did you just get through right now? I thought the tickets sold out an hour ago.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

it's money time they hand over mass tickets to the corporations.

Those corporations are the ones that are covering the tab so joe blow like you and me can see Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker for the next six years.

You don't think the Spurs come up with 200 million for those guys off the cheap seats, do you?

[MannyIsGod]

They definetly didn't sell out in under a minute. I don't know how, but I got a single ticket to the first game @ about 12:08.

[Ginofan]

There's a lot of tickets on ebay. But I'm not sure if people should trust all those sellers.

I'm never buying tickets from EBAY again after getting jacked during this regular season and I didn't even get a full refund. Why do people have to be such bastards!

[MannyIsGod]

That sucks, I've had one lukewarm experience with ebay, but I've always gotten the tickets.

[Faccia di Angelo]

Yeah Kori, it was a few minutes before I posted about it.
Ginofan- I'm scared of doing ebay too. You just can't trust people on there.

[MannyIsGod]

IF people do decide to go the Ebay route....

Just make sure that the people you buy from have plenty of feedback, and make sure it's positive.

[2centsworth]

They definetly didn't sell out in under a minute. I don't know how, but I got a single ticket to the first game @ about 12:08.

incredible. At 12:02 on kept getting message that no tickets available.

congrats.

[Clandestino]

during the sonics series, i went to all 3 games on ebay. most i paid was $35 a ticket for a pair of $70 seats.. least i paid was $30 total for 2 $70 seats.. sweet!

[Mr Dio]

Good Luck doing that with this series.

[MannyIsGod]

during the sonics series, i went to all 3 games on ebay. most i paid was $35 a ticket for a pair of $70 seats.. least i paid was $30 total for 2 $70 seats.. sweet!
Yeah, I got sevearl tickets under face through Ebay this year. However, I did buy a pair where the guy selling them to me told me their face value was moer than what it actually was. He told me the correct seat, row, and section numbers, but lied about the face value.

However, I still got those under face.

[Clandestino]

yeah, you won't get anything for cheap for the finals... thing is the previous series everyone is like, "i'll wait for the finals," so that is where you get the good stuff.

[midgetonadonkey]

i waited 2 hours and was 5th in line here in corpus and didn't get tickets. the guy that was first in line didn't even get any.

[clubalien]

hmm i thought as a season ticket holder you had tickets "reserved for you" and that some poepel just buy season tickets so they can buy extra tickets and scalp them for more money to pay for their playoff tickets
BTW i watch spurs on over the air free tv to poor for cable and don't go to the games either

[clubalien]

hey i was wondering a lucture box is probaly only what 10k or so right?
maybe fullsportpress + spurs talk coudl get together and use the ad revune from the website to pull togsdther to get a luxury box, then insted of GTGs everyone could cram into the lux box, for maybe a small fee of say 10 bucks to cover anything not covered with ad revuune? anyone thinks this is good or bad?

[red kryptonite]

Why would I want to go to the game anyway, when I can watch the game with real fans like WOAI's own Peter Burns, Jeff Vexler, and etc.?

[red kryptonite]

I'm pretty sure there is a limit on the number of people in a lux box.

[red kryptonite]

Hey is was wondering, why doesn't clubalien.com sell some mtg's and pay for a luxury box also? It's only $10,000.

[MannyIsGod]

Hey is was wondering, why doesn't clubalien.com sell some mtg's and pay for a luxury box also? It's only $10,000.
:lmao

[clubalien]

what is with the personal flame man? just trying to stire up an idea so people can watch the game and I don't know what they cost i fulled the 10k figure out of what i thoguth the dallas cowboys lux boxes were but don't remeber what they were

the idea of the ad revuene is that mebers vist the form anyways therefore it isn't really costing any member they see ads on sites all the time migh as well pool money for somethign liek spurs games

[clubalien]

hey did someone change my sig?

[red kryptonite]

I don't see all these ads?

[clubalien]

there aren't ads .. thus i was saying if ads were added that the money could be pulled together, since they aren't needing the ads now to pay for site, any ad money woudl be extra that over a season coudl accumlate just by us posting in the forum

[weebo]

did anybody try ticketcity.com?

[spurschick]

There are still a few radio stations, like 99.5 KISS, that have tickets they are giving away. You obviously have to be ready to call in, but it's worth a shot. I imagine that Ticket760 may have a few as well.

[Dingle Barry]

clubalien using the word "thus" made my day.

[Chief]

I just wanted 1 and I couldn't get it :lol

[SpursWoman]

Try typing in 3 tickets instead of 4 or 2 ... I got mine for game 6 in 2003 at about 3:00 on game day. I typed in the 3 by accident. :fro

[Kori Ellis]

Try typing in 3 tickets instead of 4 or 2 ... I got mine for game 6 in 2003 at about 3:00 on game day. I typed in the 3 by accident. :fro

They only allow 1 or 2 now. :( Today I tried 1 alot, but it didn't come up.

[JustSpurs]

Yeah and a lot of tickets get released that way. I remember in 2003 a bunch of people from the forum got tickets in those afternoon releases.
Yeah...in '03 the NJ Press released about 100 primo seats for game 1. My best friend snagged 4 tickets in section 117 for face value...It was awsome. This was the afternoon on game day....listen to the ticket &/or WOAI...this might happen again.

[iminlakerland]

I could never get laker playoff tickets it sucked...so i know how you guys feel.

[ZStomp]

I could never get laker playoff tickets it sucked...so i know how you guys feel.


Probably because they aren't in the playoffs..:lol

J/K :smokin

[spur219]

I didn't get to get tickets. I was online before 12 and I didn't get any. It was still 12 when they were telling me that they were sold out.

[CosmicCowboy]

theres always the spurs ticket exchange...

http://teamexchange.ticketmaster.com/html/seatlist.htmI?l=EN&team=spurs&EVNT=SBCPO4A

[Useruser666]

You can get tickets on Ebay. Well for 11 times their face value that is!
