    The only way to get good seats at a Laker game is to spend lots of money, no matter where or who you buy tickets from. I wish I could help but it's really the only way to get seats that aren't nosebleed, and even those are getting expensive now.

    Mainly I'm curious if I could get a code from a season ticket holder and buy it for me. Or would they go straight to that persons mailing address. And I'm also curioius what "Laker's Presale" means, because they get to buy em a day earlier than the rest also, but behind the STHs.

    You can always try to get a girlfriend or be friends with a season ticket holder that has good seats.

    I don't know how it works for basketball but for football season ticket holders, they usually send out a sheet of tickets for the full season a head of time. If you know a season ticket holder just ask them if they can let you know what game they're not planning on going to and try to score it off them.

    That's how I used to think it always worked. You buy season tickets, you get tickets for the whole season . . . Apparently not anymore for basketball and at least hockey too.


    As for knowing someone who has em, well no dice. My gf's mom has clipper tickets tho ._.a

    I think even the season ticket holders got fucked last season for a few games...it's almost easier/cheaper to follow them to Golden State/Sacramento games. Staples is notorious for fucking its customers on tickets.

    25 wins max. Durant is going to get beat around every game. The roster is ok but there's just too many good teams in the West to win consistently. Not to mention their defense will probably be atrocious no matter what Carlesimo does.

    They're actually company tickets. Personally my team is San An, but I was hoping to get tickets for the Celts vs. Lakers game ._.v

    The Celtics had a pre-sale as well and they send out a presale code to anyone who is a member or their CelticsBeat club. Maybe the Lakers have some sort of Club like that where they send out a presale code? You still have to battle and be fast but at least you can get tix at face value. I got 4 games but all the big ones sold out in minutes. (literally like 2-3 minutes).

    I feel your pain I tried to buy tickets for my daughter to go and see Hannah Montana; as she is doing her Disney concert tour. The tickets sold out nationwide I believe in under 10 mins. Scalpers are reportedly selling the tickets from anywhere from 500-1600 per ticket and actually selling them.

    Fuck that.

    I actually read about the Hannah Montanna ones. They're like the most expensive ticket in the history of Stubhub.


    Seriously tho, I was looking at some sites and they sell 200-300 dollar tickets for clsoe to a grand and you have to pay like $70 "convenience charge" It's so insane and unconvenient -.-a
