Looking for nice tickets for Saturday's game vs GS WARRIORS

Trying to score 4 good seats for Saturday's game. Trying not to get involved with brokers and their Service Fees and shipping costs. Looking for Lower Bowl, mid-court tickets.

Here are your choices:

Someone from this board. Very unlikely you'll find 4 mid court seats anyone on here is giving up. But you never know.

Buy directly from the Bucks. The best they have available is 202, behind the Bucks bench. Good seats but pricey.

Stub Hub - Often this season you can get great seats at below face but right now all they have are seats in the corners in the lower bowl.

Ebay - I didn't check but there have been some fantastic deals there on Bucks tickets this season.

Scalpers - Many are outside Major Goolsby's before the game. If they do have the kind of seats you want they will try to screw you on the price, forgetting that it's the Bucks/Warriors not the Lakers/Celtics game 7. You'll often have to wait until tipoff to get their price down to a reasonable level.

wouldn't hurt to call up a bucks ticket person and ask, they called me with a really, really nice deal yesterday for that game

I'm betting if you call a rep and tell him what you are looking for, they'll offer you lower bowl tickets for about $75/pair

Yeah. I ususally head down right before tip off and get a good deal. However, most of the time they are good seats, not great seats. Have a couple friends in town and want to get real close.

Jerrod,

what do you mean the Bucks called you and offered a great deal? You think if I speak with someone in the box office I can talk them down???? Is that even possible??

i have a ticket rep i call to get tickets from fairly often, so he gave me a call and offered me a good deal.

they're doing pretty crazy deals already and since it's not a super popular team i'd definitely give them a call and at least tell them what you're looking to get and see what they can do. couldn't hurt

Don't call the box office. If you don't know any Bucks ticket reps just look on the Bucks website and pick one out and give them a call.

Speaking of tickets, I wonder how being a ticket rep would be. To me I would think they are poorly paid since so many people would think it is glamorous or something even though it is not, they have crazy work hours, and if you want to move up in sports, most of the time you have to be ready to move at any time to take another job if you want to be promoted. To me that really seems like a crap job and I imagine it's really crappy if you work for a team like the Bucks who for the most part are never very good so selling those tickets would be tough.

I do agree though, Paul Suchomel seems like a good guy. Also Stephanie Thiel is pretty attractive, maybe it would be good to start a relationship with her so you can meet her later if you ever buy more tickets, :eyebrows:

Absolutely. If anyone calls him, mention RealGM and myself specifically. He'll give you a good deal.

I once got a tour from Stephanie of the BC (locker rooms, etc) and she's easily the hottest Bucks rep I've ever seen.

Yeah, I could've taken a job interning in the sales department during college, but $8 an hour (about 7 years ago) wasn't really a competitive wage. I got a better offer so I took it, but if I could've afforded taking less money I would have.
