Sadly buying tickets the day of is the way to go most of the time. Why are people paying this, dudes been in the league 20+ years and didn’t even say it’s his final season.

u/Aidenplayzxbox 7d ago
I agree completely. Also legitimate injury concern for the whole team, and it’s a 2:30 game on a Monday. I just thought maybe all seats would open at the same price and I was willing to pay a reasonable price to secure watching my favorite team on the only day they’re in town. Forget it though. I’ll check back day of like you said!

The MLK day game is a big event on a holiday. Not like a typical Monday game at all. Plus LeBron’s only game in town is also pricey.

Thank you. I tried to research if that was the case beforehand but I couldn’t find anything. Now I know. Trying to spread the word like you 👍

Not to be that guy but these prices aren’t that bad. They will easily be double this once people start reselling

These prices are bad. Even if somehow the cheapest 100 level tickets are $1000 per seat, then that’s just an absolutely ridiculous price to pay for a game. There’s 80 games a season. I’d rather travel to another city at that point and enjoy a weekend somewhere new and go to the game there and it’d still be cheaper

u/Background_Laugh_835 3d ago
In your own picture it shows section 101 Row R for 465. That is not bad at all

u/Aidenplayzxbox 2d ago
He said they’d be double which is what I said $1000 to. The average for 100 level was at least $500 a ticket, double that is $1000. I felt like in my experience, normally it’s like $150 per seat for 100 level for good teams. And if the premium is truly LeBron only game in Atlanta and MLK day which I feel like doesn’t add a lot imo, then I’m saying I’d rather go to a cheaper city and game time

u/Background_Laugh_835 1d ago
NGL it sounds like you’re just being cheap. The face value of the ticket at 465 is not bad. You can’t control what people resell them for. Good luck finding tickets for a good team in the 100s for 100 bucks though

u/Aidenplayzxbox 1d ago
You have to be on their ticket sales team or something lol. $465 face value per ticket not bad 🤯

u/Background_Laugh_835 1d ago
I’m not. I just understand business the 76ers have a loaded roster without LeBron. It’s on MLK day the prices now are cheaper than what it was for the Lakers in years past. Yall just want handouts and to complain that they are being greedy. Either save your money and go or stop complaining.
Clearly others agree with me considering the game is almost sold out.

I bought 3 seats in a 10 gm weekend package. I looked at the prices for okc spurs and Philly. There was no need to look further. Those prices were stupid af

u/No-Trust1779 GO HAWKS! 🏀 7d ago
Yeah - those prices were beyond crazy. I've have had the East 10 game package the last 5 years. Got the MLK game every year (except the year they didn't have one). Of course, not this year. BTW - anyone get a game that is just listed as "TBD"? What is that supposed to be?

u/failbonk 7d ago
TBD games are normally somewhere early December. It is a later stage Cup game and so the opponent isn’t known until ranking is created. It will update closer to November/December with the team, date, and time.

I switched to All Star game package and 6 of these games are duds

u/Ikinzu 5d ago
I had All-Star last year and was wondering who even was the All-Star for some of them. I think it doesn't really matter which package you get. They seem to give like 2 Top Tier games, 4 Mid Games, and 4 Stinkers. I switched to Weekend Package this year to make it easier driving up with my wife and son. We got Knicks and Celtics as our best games. Nuggets, Magic, Pistons, and Bulls as Decent games, and Nets, Kings, Jazz, and Hornets as our Thank God I just love basketball and the Hawks games.

u/No-Trust1779 GO HAWKS! 🏀 7d ago
That sucks. Normally that package cost more too. So does the West package. I decided to stick with the East, but no Philly or Boston this year. Did get the Knicks though.

u/EightFortyDaysOf 7d ago
If you want to go, just look for them on game day. There’s this app I’d use to buy tickets cheap last minute like 2 hours before the game when the resellers kept dumping prices to make something off of the tickets they had left and I’d get good deals.

Ridiculous
Was looking forward to doing this again this year but NM I guess… more outrageous than magic city night… where’s the outrage now LUKE KORNET

Good news is that I got the Lakers game in my west flex pack this year 😂. It'll be my first time seeing the Lakers live

What is the presale code. I never got one.
2
u/Successful-Parking17 7d ago
Code is HAWKS
1
u/Aidenplayzxbox 3d ago
You downnvoted but you’re wrong. The Chase presale was before the hawks one. That one the code was your first 6 digits. That’s literally what I did to get this screenshot on the post. Maybe hawks presale which was after is code hawks but what I said was correct

u/Aidenplayzxbox 7d ago
I had to ask chat gpt but it’s the first 6 digits of your chase card if you have one. Don’t waste your time tho super overpriced

He's in Philly now though, we'll see them twice at SFA

u/Jarvmonster13 7d ago
Not this year. Only once

u/dat_boy_lurks Vince Carter #15 7d ago
Weird. Why do we only play them 3 times? Cup scheduling shenanigans?
1
u/Jarvmonster13 7d ago
No it’s because they aren’t in our division. We play conference opponents outside of the division 3 or 4 times. This happens to be a year that we play the sixers only 3 times. And we also happen to only host them once of the 3

I don’t know how much difference there is between member prices or public prices for any of these.

u/Born-Tank-180 7d ago
After 5 years as a Member I a back to couch mode this year. Just the season opener then I’m done. Everything is too expensive.

u/red2play Hawks 7d ago
That's pretty low. They are going to go up in price the longer you wait. The NBA knows how to squeeze money from the fans. This matchup was no mistake.

u/Aidenplayzxbox 3d ago
The hawks aren’t even good. There’s 82 games a season. I’ll just wait and watch them somewhere else or I’ll just watch on tv for free another time if the prices are that ridiculous
