RealGM

I'm looking for some input to help me make a decision on whether to fork out the cash for tickets in London this summer. Available to me is one ticket for the entire day of mens quarter finals (all four games) at the O2 Arena for €375 - the equivalent of $500 canadian.

Now if money wasn't tight I would likely just go for it but unfortunately it is and i'm just not sure I can justify it. Yet in comparison to flying to rome and toronto to see the raptors play which I've done and a handful of other NBA and international games in the UK, is reasonably good value considering this time i'm only a 30 minute drive from the venue. The price while high does give you a chance to see the top 8 teams in the world, including USA, Spain, Lithuania, France etc... competing in four consecutive win or go home games. Maybe I should sit this one out and watch it on the tv.

So raptors fans, what should I do and more importantly what would you do?

You'll likely be the first RealGM Raptor's fan (outside Lithuania) to see Jonas live... priceless

I was really hoping for just some quick input from raptors fans as this is where I interact. I don't think moving this to the Olympics forum helps me out but oh well. Rules is rules I guess.

It'll probably stay on the Raptors front page for a day

^^^ hopefully. Thanks for the input Regression2u, I just wanna hear whether people would think I'm crazy to consider paying that much or crazy to consider not taking up an opportunity to see the best basketball talent in the world on my doorstep.

$500 CAD for four Olympic games, especially "competitive" quarterfinals games, is a great price if you have decent seats.

That is a lot of basketball for one day though.

Yeah my thoughts too!

This is like a basketball fan's dream. All the games will be competitive. I would never pass this up.

Ok I bit the bullet and bought the tickets so lock this up. Woohoo I'm excited!
