I am looking at the loge section 3 a little behind and towards the corner of the visitor bench, row C. Also gonna be first time in Boston! I've been a Celtics fan since Birds first year and really want these to be good. Anyone know what these are like? Any help is greatly appreciated! Go Celtics!

I was a season ticket member for a few years, and had seats in Section 328, Row 3, seats 3 and 4, and they were great seats. If you get seats in the front few rows in the balcony, you will have a great view of the game. You can really see plays develop and get a great basketball view. It's basically exactly what you see on TV. Of course, you want to stay away from the end sections. Section 328 is cool because it's right behind the bench.

The lower you go, the more you'll find yourself watching the big screen. My suggestion would be to get tickets in one of the first three rows in Sections 328, 329, or 330. It is really cool getting close to the action, but you do miss some action here and there.

Also, contact the Celtics and ask if you can get in early for warmups, and maybe get your picture at mid-court. They are really good about this, and if they charge you for it, it's usually not a lot.

You'll be in great seats. Also dont forget about the ticket exchange program, you can get lodge seating for a fraction of the mark up.

Ive sat pretty much everywhere from courtside to the club, and the spot you're at is perfect. If you prefer viewing a similar angle to what you see on TV, club seating is where its at. Way less drunken casual fans there as well.

Club seats are not too expensive, you get comfy chairs, a nice bar, and not as much crazy people standing in front of you all game. They are center of all the action, and are still very loud.

Agreed. Club is my preferred seating, but i like courtside to check out the new players up close.

If money is not a concern then you have a ton of options. The Liberty hotel is gorgeous, about a 10 minute walk to the garden or to the public gardens/common, and the redline is right there as well so you can take a short ride to Harvard square if you'd like to do some exploring.

Not sure if it's no concern lol, but I will look it up and thanks for the information! My girlfriend and I especially love older historic hotels with a past, even if they aren't quite up to the newer in amenities.

Thinking of going to the London game.

Any tips for first-time buyers?
