Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I received an email yesterday that I had won the spurs.com lottery and was able to buy two tickets. I was pretty excited about that, but had a feeling the tickets were going to stink.
My feeling was right and got absolutely the worst tickets in the house. I was at the the highest point and almost directly behind the backboard. Those tickets were so bad that I felt foolish yelling because I knew it made no difference. Yelling would of been like pretending we were part of the crowd.
Nevertheless, for the first quarter and a half my wife and I eyed lower level seats that had been empty the entire time (row 12). So guess what, we moved down and caught the end of the 1st half and most of the 2nd half from those seats. I say most of the second half, because can you believe the owner of the tickets actually showed up midway through the 4th quarter. Oh well, I thanked him for the seats and watched the end of the game walking out of the arena. There was no way in hell I was going back to my seats.
Moral of the story, I think I lost in the lottery because watching it at a bar would have been much better. However, the wife and I wound up with some of the best seats in the house for a majority of the game. Believe.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I got the email yesterday too.
My tickets were in 214, row 13.
That was awesome.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
:lol I was way up there too...almost behind a backboard. In fact, the damn Finals banner was blocking some of the lighthouse. At least I could see the floor pretty well. I enjoyed the experience more than anything. I screamed, got loud and booed just like if I had been in the lower level. Took some pics with the pictures of the players outside as well. The only other Finals game I had been to was back in '99 and wanted to do it again.

I was 214 row 16, but atleast it sounds like we all tried to make the best of it.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
We got them from the lottery too. Section 214 row 14, seats 2 and 3. I probably talked to and/or spilled beer on at least one of you guys.
I didn't really care that the seats were bad. I'm from Austin, so getting to games is a labor of love. But being at a Finals game was awesome.

Yeah. There was that finals banner blocking part of the view, but not of the court. I was just happy and pumped to be there.

We had seats 3 & 4

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Did you sit on my lap or what, 4001? lol.
Were you the guys who unsuccesfully tried to get beer right between the 3rd and 4th quarter?

Lol. Just about. The rows are so close.
I got my beer before the game and during 1/2 time. I brought my own supplements for the rest of the time, so I wouldn't have to leave during the game.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
The problem is the Spurs suckered people in- people thought there was no way they would get tickets any other way and so they entered the lottery and took whatever they got. Then yesterday the Spurs started to release better tickets- there were tickets in section 223 and 225 available yesterday afternoon and even seats together that were better than the ones they stuck people with in the lottery. At 6:00 PM yesterday when online and phone sales shut down, there were STILL single seat tickets available for last night's game. Pretty sad.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I got the same email. I went ahead and purchased two tickets. I took the deal, in part, due to the 10-game "weekend" packet for next season. Of course, I don't know that I'll be able to attend each of the 10 games, but it's a nice-to-have.
The seats are in Section 205, Row 16, Seats 19-20. I took a look at the seats on the 3-D arena map. At least they are facing the court. Of course, I'm now a proud member of Club Nosebleed.
I'll be driving down from Big D to attend Sunday night's game.

my recommendation is to eyeball lower level seats that are available. If they stay available for the entire 1st half then make the move. I made my move right before halftime. Of course I gave myself enough time to raid the consession stand.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
The tickets that get released later are actually spoken for early on. If they aren't claimed, they're released. Because of the popularity of the finals, it's always a crapshoot. The cool thing about buying the 10-game pack is that you now have playoff priority for next season, and you get to experience the finals live, which is really a treat no matter where you sit.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
bitching about going to the Finals?
I've seen it all now.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
i have to agree. You are not going to yell because you are in the upper level?
I sure hope that is not the prevailing thought for the fans that are up there.
I guess the old adage about success applies.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
We definitely yelled loud all game, but there were a lot of people just chilling. It was about half and half. . My voice is gone today. And my little clapper thing is demolished almost beyond recognition. :tu

I was only in the upper level for a few minutes. Then I went to the lower level and yelled my butt off.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
What the fuck? You yelled only because you were in lower level? What if you had stayed in the upper level the whole game?
Shit, I don't care if you string me up and hang me upside down from the rafters, I would be happy to go and would be yelling my ass off no matter where I was. But that's just me.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Did this dude really just complain about being at the game?!?! What kind of spoiled baby ass shit is that? Im with MelMart on this one, I'd take any seat in the house and act just like I would if I was in the front row. Weak ass fan......

For a regular season game.
Against the Kings.
And I screamed my head off.
This is the Finals.
I would sit ANYWHERE and cheer.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I'd take any seat for a finals game, and we were yelling.
The guys behind us and a lot of others were yelling. My accordian/clapper thing was demolished too.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I'd be the sweat guy on the court and still scream my head off. Which reminds me, a friend of mine moved to SA this last year, and he has promised me a Cowboys and a Spurs game once I get the money to fly down there ;)

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
this thread was started to give people a heads-up of what to expect in that lottery. I did yell in my nosebleed seats, but felt very odd doing so because it feels like it makes no difference. I'm coming across as spoiled which I probably am when it comes to these sorts of thing, but all in all it sounds like everyone made the best of what they had.
Go Spurs Go!
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Well I got two tickets through the lottery as well in section 214 row 16. I actually thought the sight lines were good and we had a blast. I've been to many Spurs games (in much better seats) but I don't think I've ever had a better time at a game.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
spursfans will complain about anything.
Through several comic events I ended up with THE worst seats in the house -- the two seats ploto is bitching about still being available. Given my girlfriend physical condition, it was an adventure navigating the stairs. Neither of us gave a shit, and I don't have my voice today.
It's the finals.
PS -- We didn't get the free shirts either. Don't give a shit.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I like my seat at County Line.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
got my email this morning showing i won. my uncle should be pissed cause he missed it because i didnt check my email. he would have sat anywhere and been happy like a real fan. i went to the game (season tickets) and paid about another 160 for him to watch it at home while tickets were waiting at will call for me that i would have given him.

These seats ran $160 per pair. Would that impact your opinion?

Congratulations on being a "real" fan. We're all different and I'm happy you enjoyed your seats though not all nosebleeds are the same. Some are actually pretty darn good seats. As far as my seats, no freakin way ever again. Yes I'm spoiled, but next time I'll ante up the extra dough or not go at all.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
But knowing you got stuck with the crappy seats when there were available better seats for the SAME price?

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Im still blown away at bitching about to get to go to the finals.
Im in california and had to sell my damn tickets, and would've given ANYTHING to be there last night.
Ploto's bullshit rantings are expected, as she still has a tampax shoved up her ass over her girlfriend Rasho getting traded.

Attendance at an NBA Finals game is something that most people won't ever get to do. 80 bucks is a fraction of what that seat would cost in almost ANY OTHER CITY with an NBA team. So no, it would have ZERO impact. I would be thrilled to ONLY pay 80 for my seat to the biggest stage in the NBA and what might possibly be the final O'Brien run for my favorite team of all-time.
Shit, I paid 55 for a seat to game 5 of the WCFs, so if I got a Finals ticket for only $25 more I would be exstatic.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
The Spurs could have held whatever seats they wanted for the lottery, but they chose some really bad ones that they would have had trouble selling. Smart move on their part, as signing up meant you were charged for the tickets automatically if chosen. They could have just released those tickets.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
It's the NBA Finals. We're peons. If you aren't a season ticket holder that has already given them alot of money all year long, that's how it goes. If the money is that big a deal to you, you shouldn't be going to the games.

it's not like some big privilage to go. There were people selling tickets all over the place, plus ticket exhange had plenty to sell too. I'm just telling you what you get for $160 a pair from my perspective.

Just to be in the building had to be intense.
I haven't seen the Spurs in person anywhere, never mind in their building in the Finals.
Watching them on TV across the country is a priviledge.
It's the Finals.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Last time we got down there to see a game the Spurs were playing the Mavs at the Alamodome and Rodman got 20 rebounds in the first half against the three Js.

I look forward to someday being a seat snob. I'll be unlikely to go on a message board and bitch about my seats in the NBA finals, though. The only reason I got to go to my first Spurs game is because I won a trivia contest on the radio. I was dirt ass poor.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I'm a terrible seat snob .... it's hard to find better seats than what our season seats were (1st row, aisle for the long legs in the family) since we gave them up.
:depressed

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
The Spurs could only offer the seats they had available, and those are the seats in the higher parts of the arena. They know it is difficult to sell those seats, but it's not like they forced people to buy them. I'm not sure why people thought that signing up for the lottery would get them lower level seats. Those have been sold out for a long time. Like I said, there are lower level seats that aren't sold because they're reserved by opposing team, nba, etc. If they aren't claimed, they're released to the general public a few hours before the game.
It really amazes me how some people think the Spurs are a bunch of crooks trying to rip people off. If they really feel that way, maybe they should go to another message board.

The lottery also clearly explained they were for BALCONY seats. And at $80/piece I would think anyone who bought them would be wise enough to know they were going to be waaaaay up there.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
I'm with you 2Cents. Don't worry about coming off as a snob. I'd be just as upset if I paid that much money for tickets and got stuck at the top, even if it was the Finals.
I think I paid $115 (on Ticketmaster) for my Game 6 seat vs the Pistons in 05 and I got to be behind the basket at the top of the lower bowl. That's only a $35 difference from where your seats are and look at how much better of a seat mine was. Maybe it's just me but this years' playoffs seem much more expensive than years past.
Another thing, maybe some of you guys can afford to "be happy to sit anywhere" but alot of people can't, and I don't think it's cool to rag on someone because they complained about their seat that they paid for.

But they stated on the website they were for Balcony so he could have chosen not to buy the tickets.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
eh, I don't know. I paid $120 for one ticket to sit 10 rows from the court in section 24 for the first game of the playoffs and had a great time and then spent $130 for tickets for my gf and I to sit in the balcony even with the free throw line for game 1 of the WCF and had a great time as well. Other that I was content to sit at home for free and watch on a 60" HD with some bar-b-que and a six of Dos XX and had a great time too. I guess the moral is just enjoy being able to watch the game no matter where you are and don't worry or get upset over small things like this. I'm sure there are plenty of foreign fans on here who would pay just to be able to watch the finals on TV at a normal viewing hour instead of following the play by play on the internet at 3 AM.

Like there's a woman in the world who wants to be with a broke cholo who needs to offer a nut for $80 tickets. Don't make me fire your family, because I'll go to my roof right now and have them put down those tar mops.

If you have to rely on a lottery to get Finals tickets, i'd say you're actually right in my league.
You couldnt stand being up in the balcony because you secretly think you're better than the raza fans up there. How dare you have to watch the game from the rafters...
Gimme a fucking break. If you're too good to sit up there then I'll reiterate what I've already said: STAY THE FUCK HOME!
It's people like you that make our fans weak, make our city weak, and they make our Spurs weak.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
It isn't that people expected to be on the lower level- it is that there were better seats in the BALCONY available than the ones they got stuck with. I highly doubt that the Spurs were holding back seats in the upper level for VIP'S. I feel certain these lottery winners would have preferred section 223 row 4 over where they got stuck- and there were seats together on that row available yesterday afternoon on ticketmaster.
As to the cost, Ginofan, the Spurs have outpriced their market. Most people do not want to pay about $200 for 2 tickets and parking for those seats that are that bad.
PS I just brought up a ticket in 226 for Sunday's game on ticketmaster.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
If you can't afford it or if there aren't enough white Euros playing to suit your taste, don't go.
It's that simple.
Bitching that there were 18,794 instead of 18,797 is unbellieveably stupid.

Can't afford it? :lol I am not griping for myself. I have quite the wonderful seat whenever I choose to use it- have since Fall of 2003. I just choose to go less this year than I have the previous 3 seasons.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
i was in the 2nd row from the ceiling - but center court. i totally didn't care - I WAS THERE. i'd have sat on the stairs if it meant being there - and i paid $75/each for the 2 tickets.
who cares - at least you were given the opportunity to go. crying about winning the ticket lottery? puh-leeze. i'm sure there are thousands of people that would have welcomed that.

That's why I put in the white Euro phrase.
I covered all the bases.

I was in section 13, row 11, paid $120 a piece for three tickets, and was happy as hell. I might have gotten ripped, but I sure the heck enjoyed it!

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
The Spurs don't necessarily hold balcony level seats for VIPs, but they are conducting various promotions right now for season ticket renewals/purchasing and they need to keep some seats open to accommodate that. That is why some seats in the lower part of the balcony are released at various times before the game.
-
Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
That promo ended Wednesday- these tickets were distributed on Thursday. Try again.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Read again. I said various promotions.

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Serious inquiry.
What do you Spurs fans think of them playing music during your possession
of the ball? I'm not sure how often they do it, but on at least one occassion, I distinctly remember them playing the drum solo from the Who's "We won't get fooled again" and I thought to myself; "Three time champs don't do that crap". Am I just sounding like a bitter Cavs fan, or do I have a point?

Re: Interesting night at the AT&T Center
Holy shit...I'm been lurking since '04 but now I've heard it all and had to post. I was at game 3 against the Suns, i was in section 226 row 26 seats 15 & 16, I paid 100.00 $s for the tickets but I'm glad i did. I was the loudest one in my section according to my wife, I really don't remember we were having a good time. :drunk all night long some foo sitting behind me kept asking me to sit down.... :bang ....and I kept telling him to stand up and yell or do something. Shit if I could get tickets to the finals I'd let DRob sit on my face just to be there....haha

For a regular season game.
Against the Kings.
And I screamed my head off.
This is the Finals.
I would sit ANYWHERE and cheer.
I don't have a voice today. I sat behind Peter Vecey and tried to annoy the hell out of him. :smokin
