Yeah, me either. I haven't done it before. I plan on taking the T early monday morning, instead of driving up though.

Anyone know if there Lakers are doing something similar? I live close to LA and I'd drive down there for tix. Bastards on ticketexchange are asking $350+ for the worst seats in the house.

so does anyone know how it works?? is it worth it to even go there ahead of time? or is it just a lottery?

Yea, for such an important thing they don't really have a good explanation about it on their website. Are there a limit of raffle tix they will give out? Can I just stroll out there at 12 on Monday? I need more info!!! Anyone go to one of these things before?

I know right, nothing on what time you should be there. I assume there will be a limit to the raffle tickets. I don't know, I will probably get there around 11 or 12. Thats just me though, if you guys hear anything, post it.

I got lucky. The lottery ticket that hit was 20 numbers ahead of me. I got there at 9. I got a guilt trip walking by the fans that were there since yesterday, but they should've known the lottery system. Got a couple of the cheapest seats in the arena.

NICE! You were probably right near where my friends were sitting. They got there at 9 something as well. I missed the early train, but got there around 10:30.

I got tickets though! Game 1 was sold out, but I got 2 tickets for game 2 in the balcony for 30 each. Which is exactly what I wanted. Well game 1 would have been nice, but who cares, the garden is still going to be rocking!

Man, they should have organized that better though, people behind us started to run to the front, so we did as well, good thing they did it by number.
