Either way...
3. Sun, May 19
4. Tues, May 21
5. Thurs, May 23* - Home
6. Sat, May 25*
7. Mon, May 27* (Memorial Day) - Home


If Toronto wins in 6, wouldn't they then slide games 3 through 7 up two days?


They certainly could, but last year they moved up each conference finals and each had a 3 day gap between games 2 and 3. So it seems to me that game 3-7 as laid out on sportsmediawatch.com may be set with games 1 and 2 up to be moved.

Man that sucks. I know the finals dates are set and they try to spread things out to minimize the gap between the conference finals and finals but 3 days off is not good.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

ECF ticket prices dropped pretty hard after the game last night. Cheapest tickets on StubHub dropped around $50 in a few hours.

There's at least 12. They are on both sides of the wall.

The one I was going to it looked like there was only 6. It was faster standing in the line for the gender neutral single person bathroom.

I ended up buying upper level row 13 not knowing it was as high up as you could get. It was a great experience. You could easily see the whole court, didn't get yelled at for standing, and could almost shout your beer order to the vendor without leaving your seat.

I had the last row before the rail seats for game two and it was surprisingly great. View was decent and it was easy to duck out for food/drink at timeouts.

Feel like that's been the theme. Prices are pretty high then kinda fall into the norm as the series gets closer.

Worst part of my row 2 seats, not by tunnel/exits anymore. Score one for the BC (for my seats), haha

The bathroom situation sucks. I'm shocked for a new venue it is such a problem (i.e. long lines).

I think I know the bathroom you're talking about. I've got season tix in section 212, and the closest men's bathroom has only 6-7 urinals and 3-4 stalls. The halftime lines for that bathroom are getting ridiculous. It could take all of halftime to get through the line.

Meanwhile, there's two women's bathrooms within 100 feet of each other that rarely have any lines at all. Not great planning.

There's a trade off. I'm in row 13 and on the aisle so you have people constantly standing in front of you during the game getting to their seats.

Obviously there's still serious work to be done, but what does everyone think would be the most economical option for Finals tickets?

Finals tickets dropped about $100 on StubHub when the Bucks clinched their spot in the ECF. Is it reasonable to expect a similar drop if/when the current series ends?

Will the Bucks release tickets similarly to how they've been releasing playoff tickets? Or since it would be the Finals would these all be reserved for various frontrunners out there?

I'm asking now because, if we think today is the lowest tickets are going to be, I want to be out in front of it.

Jesus, I just looked at some of the pricing on StubHub. I think I'll be selling at least one finals game if we get there. That's a lot of money. I could theoretically get $4000 for my pair haha.

I think they will continue to drop, especially the first 2 games (being on Thursday and Sunday nights doesn’t help). Games 5 and 7 should still be popular with the possibility of those being a title clinching game but overall Milwaukee doesn’t seem like a market that can support those significantly higher asking prices.

I see tickets for tomorrow’s game that aren’t going for that much more than some late season weekend games were going for. There’s a cap that people are willing to pay regardless of how important the game is. Don’t know if either of the GS/Portland fanbases would travel here enough to boost prices either.

Last year for the GSW/Cavs series, the get-in price for the first 2 Cleveland games was around $350. I can see something similar here.

I appreciate the advice. Rational and reassuring!

I wonder if a GSW fan that wants good tickets could fly here, drink, go to game stay in hotel and fly back for the same price.

I think the get in price will be $400+. Cleveland was down 0-2 and had been to multiple finals. This is our and we might have a shot if Durant is iffy.
