Fiserv Forum Thread - Full (Almost) Capacity Now

That $350 get-in price from last year was on the day before the series started according to the article I read. Once Cleveland went down 0-2 it dropped further, but it’s true that it wasn’t their first Finals in decades like it would be here.

There will likely be more seats reserved for media and corporate holds for the Finals, so fewer if any tickets available from the team directly compared to the first 3 rounds.

There definitely would be a lot of suits there for the finals who haven't been to a game in years, if ever. And Gruber will continue to sit there like a dumb rock

No matter what happens during this series (or the next, fingers crossed!), as someone who no longer lives in Milwaukee and has never been to the Fiserv Forum, I would love to get some first-hand reports - particularly in the game threads, since that's when the observations will be fresh - on how the crowd is.

Thanks in advance!

Are standing room only buckets worth it? Looking to get 4 for brothers and friends to join me but I'm nervous we won't be able to see the court.

Finals tickets dropped about $100 on StubHub when the Bucks clinched their spot in the ECF. Is it reasonable to expect a similar drop if/when the current series ends?

Will the Bucks release tickets similarly to how they've been releasing playoff tickets? Or since it would be the Finals would these all be reserved for various frontrunners out there?

I'm asking now because, if we think today is the lowest tickets are going to be, I want to be out in front of it.

Jesus, I just looked at some of the pricing on StubHub. I think I'll be selling at least one finals game if we get there. That's a lot of money. I could theoretically get $4000 for my pair haha.

Wow, I just looked too. I may have to post 1 of my sets for at least a game.

Yes. You can get a great court view standing outside of section 116. However, you are standing for 2-3 hours which is kind of annoying.

Did it at the Final Four at half court and was fine! Haha thanks for the insight!

I would say a better use of our money is buying beers for everyone you know in the Deer District. Not sure about this series, but last series they sold ticket in the pano club and that was the best SRO spot. Unless you are in the front row, it would be pretty hard to see in other areas. Its not horrible, but I think the Deer District would be more fun personally.

Hmm I did that for game 1 of last series and was indeed fun, could save $115...

I did SRO for game 5 vs Boston. I thought it was worth it. Got to arena about 30 minutes early and got a front row spot behind ADA section on one of the 100 level sides. Pretty good view. Sometimes had to shift a little to see around people standing up.

If you dont have anxiety about someone potentially taking your spot, I'd recommend. Also helps to be tall.

Anyone know what the hell pdeck is? Are those those reserved bar seats along the perimeter of actual seating?

I'm guessing this.

I leave for my honeymoon the day before Finals game 7 so that will be a very interesting decision to make. Do I sell the tickets (at face) to my two best friends who would die to go to the game or do I make a big chunk of change?

Hopefully we wrap it all up by game 6 and I don't have to make that decision.

Same here. I t is looking like I will have to travel for work that Monday after Game 7 so I hope it is wrapped before that too. And tough call to sell for $ or offer to family/friends. If someone has bought/gone with me before the bandwagon train, I'm trying to get them to at least a game. I bought an extra set before the playoffs so it gives me a little more flexibility. But it is tough with some of these prices. I can pay for over 1/2 of my next year with selling 2 tickets. Everybody will disappear when/if they start losing again, so part of me is like screw them and make hay while I can, haha.

You could also plan to go to the Deer District and wait for the last minute dip. Seats are 103 list and probably will drop below standing room only. If you hate you seat but its cheaper, turn it into a SRO ticket when you get inside lol

I pre-sold game 1 finals ticket on stubhub and got back $1,050 for the pair. My rationale is I bought an extra seat next year as part of a group (Will average 3 tix a game). I could either give the tickets to 2 friends (and have other friends mad at me for not considering them) or have 41 tickets next year to spread the wealth. I ultimately took the risk by buying season tickets this year and financed it, so it I really don't care if someone in my friend group gets mad. I took care of them enough over the year.

We are a Giannis 2-month injury and losing Lopez/Malcolm in FA away from the tickets becoming paperweights and these same friends backing out of a Wednesday game in January because the Bucks suck.
