I believe there's something like corporations buyout the remaining seats right before tip to make it a technical sellout or something like that. There was a small blurb about it in a recent column in the Express-News.

Because they all know that the Spurs are finished and it will now be years of losing, until Pop is fired, and we get the #1 draft choice again.

That doesn't explain hundreds of empty seats in the playoffs these last few years.

Re: How the heck are tickets still available

I like to watch them at home because the good seats are out of my price range. I would have to buy two. I can spend that money on something I really need especially with the holidays around the corner. If I could afford good seats to every home game, I think I'd go. I am a huge fan and love going to the games in person when I get the chance, but that isn't that often.

You also have to factor in the price for parking and the price of the food and drinks.

I am sorry i must have hit my head REALLY hard and just woke up from a damn coma. Did the Spurs not just win 63 games last year, one year removed from their 3rd title in 7 years. So unless they unloaded Duncan, Tony and Manu in the offseason i am a little confused.

They just have a lot of cheap bastards in SA.

They need to blackout the local tv, until the games are sold out in the playoffs, that will solve the problems.

This is interesting. I was shocked to find tickets on Ticketmaster during last season's Spurs/Mavs playoff matchup. I live in Austin so anytime I can take family to a Spurs game either because they're Spurs fans or they like the visiting team I'll do it, it's cheaper and tix are always available. My bro likes the Lakers/Pistons and I always get the tix for him to go down to San Antonio. One thing kind of funny though is that last season the Lakers game was sold out well before the game, haha, go figure.

Exactly! It's just human nature to get spoiled from having a really good team for a long time. I'm not that excited about going to the Mav's home opener (vs. Spurs) and the Mavs haven't even won a title yet. I know it's all about the playoffs now. Of course, I'll be going to that game but just not as stoked about it as I used to be. I've read that Mav tickets (on EBay) aren't selling for very high prices to this Mav/Spur game.

It all depends on how you sell them. I had to sell my season opener tix because I can't make the game. I made out very, very well. I sell at least half of my season tickets because I live in Austin and travel frequently, can't make all the games but I do make all the playoff games. There are lots of newbie sellers with 1-10 seller ratings who don't know what they're doing on ebay. Good for the buyer!
