For most games, probably for all except the most high-demand opponents, there are still pretty significant swaths of seats that haven't been sold to begin with. Much of the 200s, the corner/end zone sections in the lower level (103-108-114-119), and the last 3-5 rows of the 400 level.
If the team stays over .500 and attains a comfortable playoff seeding, these will start to be picked up for at least some games, and the secondary market will get thinner. Especially in the lower level, these are pretty expensive seats. I wonder how many people there are who are going to pay $150-$200 to sit in the back of the lower center sections to see the Wizards play Indiana or Charlotte or whoever.
The Memphis game is a Red Level (lowest price) game. There isn't a huge secondary market inventory, and for the most part seats are priced pretty far below the box office prices. But there is a wide variation in pricing for equivalent seats, which makes shopping in map view on the Ticketmaster site so convenient. You just move your cursor over the seats to see the price.
I'd look at corner sections 102-109-113-120 for the best value for money. As of tonight there are 4 seats in 109 Row B for $50 apiece (the season ticket price is $80, not many of these are available single-game). Two seats in Box E Row EEE for $100 apiece (box office price is $279 for these). Pairs in Section 400 for $15-$18 ($35 box office).
I'll try to go to a game in the next few weeks and buy on F Street.
