RealGM

This is not an official game thread, but it's going to be my first time at the Verizon Center since I moved to MD. Wish it was under better vibes with the team, but can't complain. Any of you motley bunch going to the home opener as well?

This your first time period, or first time since you moved to Maryland?

I probably won't go to any games this year, unless I can get tickets for borderline free.

You'll be able to go pretty often for borderline free.

I just checked out StubHub and Ticketmaster, the latter of which has full price tickets from the box office selling side by side with resale tickets.

Look at the games against bad teams on weeknights (like the Suns on 11/21). The resale prices on both sites are the lowest I've ever seen, even compared to when I was a plan holder 5-10 years ago.

They're running between a third and a half of the gate price. For example, for 109-M, where I had seats for a few years, the gate price is $82 and the StubHub price is $35. You can get seats in 112-H for $68, and the gate price for those is $192. In the 400s, there are places where $37 gate price tickets are going for $9.

If the prices are this low this far in advance of the game, you know you'll be able to get them even cheaper on F Street 5 minutes after the tip.

The thing about jacking up the prices for plan holders and the gate is that now the unsold gate price seats have to compete with the resale seats, and there are too many for them all to be given away or sold to groups at a discount. So a large chunk of the arena is going to be empty for many games except for the big draws like the Warriors and the Cavs.

Screwing over the plan holders can make a few extra bucks when the team is good, but it leaves them exposed when the team is bad.

I'll be in my regular seat on the opposite side from 113, that is in section 104.
I'm right on the aisle just a couple rows below where the print journalists have
their little platform above the entrance to the tunnel where the Wiz players
come and go.
