Ticket prices going down on Ticketsnow.com

[Kori Ellis]

Just FYI ... The same seats that were over $250 on Friday are down to $135+.

Prices have to drop. People are crazy asking $5000 for seats on row 25! I saw a single seat today on the lower level for $140. I think it was on there.

[BigBeezie]

I saw some crazy prices on eBay...

[Soul_Patch]

stubhub had lower level tickets for 7400 each...hahah


i cant imagine, even if i was ridiculously rich, paying that much for a basketball game.

[nkdlunch]

now I understand why it doesnt sell out. Fucking bullshit prices for a halfdecent seat.

those are prices for resellers trying to rip you off to make a buck, not from the Spurs themselves.

if Spurs are letting resellers do this, it's on the Spurs

[BeerIsGood!]

I've gone to 2 games this postseason which is pretty much my quota, now the HD big screen is going to be my ticket... besides, the Spurs should clean this up in 5. Should.

The Spurs don't have any control over who wants to resell their tickets on Stubhub, TicketsNow, or whoever, and they don't care how much they sell it for. The Spurs get their money from the original sell, and after that they don't care. It's called a free market system... utilizing the economic factors of supply and demand.

[Dave McNulla]

ticket snow... they have a web site for ticket snow?

The ticket exchange is set up BY the Spurs for this very reason. They do not just condone it- they facilitate it.

[braeden0613]

So anyone know if ticketmaster is going to release any more tickets??

[CubanMustGo]

They generally get a few back but will not announce when they will release them. Some here have had success on gameday, even the last time the Finals rolled around.

[zekes]

they are now down to $103+ for game 1 tickets, with several available for $110 and under.

[usckk]

Anyword for the price for Cavs tickets? I'm from TN and Cleveland is a lot closer. I'm going to try to go there. Thanks.

It's funny how you can buy a ticket at the box office, turn around and try to sell it at three times face value, and get arrested for scalping.

Do the same thing online and you're StubHub.

Or the Spurs themselves. Perfectly legal to sell your season ticket for the game online for a price of your choosing at spurs.com - and the Spurs will be happy to take a healthy portion, earning money on a ticket they already sold.

[mFFL03]

not only will ticket prices go down, but overall ratings as well......

if spurs win : biggest bore and loss of ratings, advertisers will run away

if cavs win : everyone wins, ratings soar, and league is grand again

so....spurs fans....don't you want to work for the overall good, do a great service for the league, and just lose all these games?

[Spurs>All]

just lose all these games?

Sorry, Mavs have already been there, done that. Twice.

You've got it all wrong... the NBA has to establish a Rivalry first.

The Spurs beat the Cavs in 2007. Cavs aquire some more talent, and beat the Spurs in 2008.

That's how you market it.

[MadDog73]

:lol

$3,921.66 per ticket.

Wonder where he got the price from?

[Bear Grylls]

:lol

Yes, thats almost $4,000 per seat

[jaespur21]

^ now thats stupid rediculous....TMINS 31 HRS and counting

ah 18 seats but still :drunk

[ZStomp]

Are you serious with this comment?

[SpursWoman]

Yes, thats almost $4,000 per seat

But that's actually kind of low for what I've seen people asking for the first couple of rows.

*shrugs*

[Avitus1]

Yes!!!

[fatsack]

+ 22.50 per seat (service fee)
+ 24.95 for shipping.

my $300 order went up to $370!

[zekes]

droppin really fast now. down to $80 per ticket game 1.

[Ginofan]

I'd wait till about 2 to 3 hours before game time. People will be scrambling to sell their tickets. TicketMaster will probably let out a lot then too.

Crap, that makes TicketMaster look cheap.

[gameFACE]

$78 per ticket now for Game 1.:smokin Game 2, which is the one i'm trying to get, is still at $125. Hopefully they come down 'cause I can't go to Game1.

Anyone know the time that Spurs Ticket Exchange stops selling tickets before a game? I thought it was about two to three hours before game time.

[Mt.Spur]

anyone know how much parking is for the finals?

[ShoogarBear]

Do the same thing online and you're StubHub.I don't understand all the rules. Dan Synder has said he will prosecute any Redskin season ticket holder who sells tickets for more than face value. StubHub is the only authorized reseller for them, and you can't sell for more than face value on it.

[veronicamae]

i just scored a pair off ebay for game 1 - upper deck, 2 together, for $150 buy it now.

the seller has another pair right next to the ones i bought - $150 for the pair as well. click the link below.

hope it helps someone! (http://cgi.ebay.com/2-OF-4-PISTONS-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS-TICKETS-SEC-223-6-7_W0QQitemZ170118987994QQihZ007QQcategoryZ16122QQr dZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

*edit* someone just bought 'em - was it one of you? if so, i better be getting some thanks. :lol


now to find another steal for game 2....

:lol

$150 for any pair in the arena is a good deal.

[veronicamae]

^^seriously. i almost had a panic attack when i found 2 pairs listed there for $150. i considered buying both pairs and reselling to make money to be able to buy tickets to game 2 - but instead i shared the info here like a good Samaritan. i still wonder if someone from here is the one that bought the other pair....

[romad_20]

I got a lower level ticket for $170 but I have no idea how they're going to get it to me before the game. Their customer care number is down and their chat is down. :(

[monosylab1k]

:lol

$150 for any pair in the arena is a good deal.

I agree, especially for a Finals game that is a tremendous deal...but the point is that it's still bullshit to pay 150 for two tickets worth 30 bucks face value (or whatever the prices are), and especially bullshit that people are allowed to legally scalp under the guise of an "online ticket broker" or whatever.

[zekes]

i saw that one too! it was the only lower level for that cheap. im pretty sure they can email the ticket to you.

Actually the cheap tickets are $29 each and then the next lowest price is $79.

[Deb]

Thanks, Kori for posting. Just got three tickets together for $85. No bargain, but I was able to get three together without having to park myself on the computer at work tomorrow, which is usually impossible anyway.

It says will call available. Does that mean I pick them up at will call at ATT center?

[romad_20]

I hope so. Still no word from them. :depressed

[Kori Ellis]

When I talked to Tickets Now on the phone in the past, they said if the tickets were emailable, they would email them - otherwise you could pick them up at the box office. But you guys who bought tickets are going to have to talk to them and confirm the situation in your specific case.

[Deb]

Thanks, Kori!
