Magic fan here!
I'll be in Burlington MA for work this week, and after checking the schedule I see that there's a big EC matchup in BOS on Wed. I was wondering if anyone had any hookups for tix, (I only need a single). And or any other tips for a n00b from out of town driving/parking/attending the game...
Thanks in advance,

Very easy. I have season tix but when I want extras I go to Craigs List. They have so many tickets for sale and some great offers, esp the day of the game. Of course you can always just go to the Garden and pay a scalper. but they will be charging a lot for this game. Their are a million scalpers though. As far as parking just drive to the arena and there are parking garages everywhere you look. Craigs List is a can't miss though.
Paul Pierce said it best about Caron Butler and the AS 2007 Game:
"Caron Butler should send me flowers for being injured so he could make the All-Star game, because if I was healthy, he wouldn’t be in there.”

If you're coming in from Burlington you might just want to take a train in instead of driving in Boston... Boston's hundreds year old road system and traffic isn't something an outsider should venture into willingly.
Go to MBTA.com for listings and you can probuly ask anyone where the neares station is.
Good luck with the ticket, ha I wish I could grab one for under 50 dollars.

Thanks for all the tips guys!
As far as the suggestions go, I checked craigslist, and they really didn't have single seats available. I did check the nba.com website & there were good single seats available through ticketmaster. I'm thinking of going this route (which is more expensive) rather than chancing it the day of the game & purchasing a single seat from an outdoor salesman (scalper is such a negative term).
I also checked mbta.com as suggested, and the itenerary had me taking a combination of buses/trains to get to the arena taking about an hour & a half from my hotel:
CW STES BOSTON BURLINGTON
130 MIDDLESEX TURNPIKE
BURLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 01803
Does this seem reasonable or would it be quicker to just drive? The 96 minute trip still gets me to the arena by 7PM and I get off work about 5'ish so I'm not too worried.
Thanks again for all the tips!
If you're gonna be at the game... Look for me I'll be the one in the Dwight Howard jersey!

^ This is more what I was refering too. You're in a hotel, then they should have the minimal knowledge enough to tell you where the local train station is to where it is you work.
From Wilmington it takes about 35 minutes to get to North Station/ The Garden.
The train stops right there and you just go up the stairs to take your seat. I'll be looking for a D-12 jersey because I'll be waiting for a train back to Wilmington around 6:20 at North Station.
