Spurs Trip Booked!

[bthewigwam]

Ok I shamelessly plugged my wife's birthday cake the other day and now I'm shamelessly plugging my upcoming trip. When I lived in LA I went to every game the Spurs were in town for but I haven't lived there in two years so haven't seen a live game for awhile being in a non-NBA city currently, and only been to one game at ATT Center my entire life. So Southwest had great deals yesterday and since it was so close to my birthday, I convinced my wife to do a weekend trip for two games in April.

Cheap flight to OKC for Thursday game (no tix yet)
Cheap flight to SA for ATL game (BEST PART: just got hooked up with tix 5 rows up and a parking pass!! Seen some others talk about autographs on here and I plan on trying to do the same by getting there early and taking all of the Big 3's jerseys to try. But HOLY SHIT, 5 rows up!!) BTW, will they let me bring a bag with the two jerseys that I'm not wearing??

So stoked. If anybody has any ideas on how to get the best tix to the OKC game, I'd love to hear. So far this is an insanely cost friendly trip so I'm willing to spend a little more on those tix if need be.

:downspin:

You should have no problem getting in with the jerseys. They primarily check for weapons, professional cameras, and any food or drinks. If your seats are really five rows from the floor, then you'll be able to use the VIP entrance 2 hours before tip as opposed to the main entrances which open 1 hour before tip.

Tickets for the game in OKC are going to be much pricier than the game in San Antonio. Stubhub and the official resale site are two places to start a search:

In no particular order, but this is from the entire trip. Notice how Dejuan the Dick takes up the entire bill of my cap. Had a great time tho, the hat has pretty much everybody except Manu, Tony, Jack, & Pop. Boris was hilarious when he was signing, chattin it up with everybody.

At least he didnt eat it

Looks like 2 entertaining nights of Spurs basketball. Can't wait for the playoffs to start, planning to go to at least 1 game.

[bthewigwam]

Yeah it was. I already tried to lay the groundwork for the same hook up for the playoffs. Hoping it works out.
