I got the email yesterday too.
My tickets were in 214, row 13.
That was awesome.
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 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.

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.
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.
Me too. I haven't been to a finals game since '99 and wanted to get to one this year.
I never got my email :-(
We had seats 3 & 4
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just like the Cavs!
ing about going to the Finals?
I've seen it all now.
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.
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.
I was only in the upper level for a few minutes. Then I went to the lower level and yelled my butt off.
What the ? You yelled only because you were in lower level? What if you had stayed in the upper level the whole game?
, 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.
How do you get into the lottery?
were you there?
Did this dude really just complain about being at the game?!?! What kind of spoiled baby ass 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......
Did you read my post?
I have sat in Club 200 directly behind each backboard at one point, and in the seats that are on the corners, the ones that I paid $7 for, which you are sitting at a slant and not even facing the court, you have to turn your head a bit to look down on the court.
For a regular season game.
Against the Kings.
And I screamed my head off.
This is the Finals.
I would sit ANYWHERE and cheer.
