I expect them to reach Garden prices soon they don't give a **** about New Jersey fans it's all about business obviously :( feelsbadman


Honestly at the same time, good for our organization...

I'll just put about 15 games online and make a big profit off those and sell some of you guys 5 to 10 games at face value or cost or whatever and go to the rest and reap the benefits for the playoff tickets, upgrades if I so choose and season ticket holder events.

I just massively overpaid for first game tickets, but i needed to be there. It was a late birthday present for me anyway, and my wife was talking about dropping $600+ and I was like "no, that's too much". We settled on two Upper Deck tickets (Section 231, Row 2) for $214 a piece. This is the only game I'm going to for the entire season and there's only 1 first game in Brooklyn so I had to be there.

However, I talked the season ticket idea over with my wife and we both agreed to wait til next year to get season tickets. Depending on the Nets success, there may not be any available lol.

The one good thing about not winning a championship this year is that season ticket prices won't jump like crazy next year.

EDIT: Btw, the cheapest season tix available now are $35/game ($3080/season) and there were only two pairs of upper deck tickets left that are available.

What's the deal with the 7000 $15 seats they are selling (supposedly)?

Idk if that applies to the first game, but they will have reserved several thousands tickets for $15 to every game so that people who can't afford to pay more can attend the games, but I have not heard any information as to 1) whether that applies to the first game 2)how you get those tickets (e.g. whether you have to be at the stadium at a certain time before the game starts).

I ended up getting tickets to the Celtics game on the 15th, in the same seats I was looking at for opening night, for a quarter of the price.

StubHub has some good deals for upper bowl, sideline seating, for anyone interested.



YO!!! What section & price did you get them for? I don't wanna pay 130 to sit top row. What kind of deal did you get?

I got upper bowl sideline seating, section 223 I think, for about 50 dollars a ticket (I got 4 tickets, because I'm going with my family). There's still a bunch of (imo) good deals like that on StubHub.

I thank my wife everyday for the season tickets she got me as a wedding gift when we tied the knot at the end of June.

Stories like this make me that much more grateful. Good luck to anybody trying to land those tickets.

You bought the Celtics game on Stubub or Ticketmaster?

Why would tickets to a good game early in the year be available on stub hub for LESS than face value?
