Contrary to what it says on spurs.com front page, there are still tickets available on ticketmaster for the game tomorrow night-- even on the lower level. They are single seats, but they are still there.

Oh, Gee!!

I'd be interested in hearing someone speak to this who is "in the know", including spurschick, regarding the ticket situation. Is ticketmaster releasing some tickets late? Is this on the fans or are there other unknowns?

These are not game day release tickets- like you would get tomorrow morning. These are still the same ones available for regular sale since Sunday- but the spurs.com front page says the game is sold out.

Go figure. I don't see how anyone can blame ticketmaster this time when the Spurs home page is theirs. And you can get them over the phone, too.

And since they are the only team playing, I can see why fans wouldn't want to go to the game.

I don't know how they are available. I just sold my lower levels, thru spurs.com, at CONSIDERABLY inflated prices (as season ticket holders can) and they were gone in less than 24 hours.

To retort the America Lite fan, I just did a search on ticketmaster (spurs site) for tickets. There are no sets of 2 available. If you do a search of 1, the best available is section 26 row 12 (one ticket alone) at around 375.

There are no club 200 seats available.

I also found a single 1 ticket available at section 110 row 22 for 159+ fees.

To say they are not sold out is true. However, there are no pairs of 2 left anywhere and the cheapest you can get is a 160 dollar single seat ticket.

I cannot tell you exactly how many are left, but according to ticketmaster, I can't buy any ticket in the cheap seats upstairs, even. So, yes, there are single seats available.

Does Ticketmaster buy those tickets from the Spurs so as far as the Spurs are concerned it is sold out?

The POINT is-- why would the Spurs put that the game is sold out on their home page and take away the direct link to purchase tickets when there are still tickets to be bought- no matter how much they cost.

As to your selling of tickets, that is the point. People think there are none left and so they buy them from other people and ticket agents at inflated prices- instead of purchasing them for face value from the Spurs. And some people would rather buy 2 singles for face value.

And for the record there ARE single seats available on the upper level 200's-- for $84, $64, and $54, in addition to lower level seats for $159, $139, $109, and $94.

Those tickets have already been "sold" by the Spurs and are now in the process of being re-sold by the season-ticket holders.
