Buying basketball tickets with a broker makes for a smart fan Posted on Kamis, 08 Desember 2011 |

Courtside seats are almost an unknown thing to some basketball fans. The third tier is where most of the crowd resides, trying to pick out their favorite player from the figurine sized athletes on the court…or at least that is what they look like from 50 feet up. While there is nothing wrong with 300 Level tickets, you can get closer seats, even as close as courtside, if you’re interested. Buying basketball tickets with the help of a broker will make you a smarter fan because you will be getting the top tickets to any hotly contested basketball game.

Why buy basketball tickets with a broker? You can wait until the last minute. Life brings adjustments and basketball games don’t always leave room for them. If you want to buy courtside tickets at any basketball game, chances are you will have to buy them very, very early. Once you buy them, there usually is no chance for returning them if something comes up and you have to miss the game. You can forget scalping them, as this is against the law and if you give them away you will lose a considerable amount of upfront cash. The best way to buy basketball tickets is through a ticket broker because you can wait until the last minute to buy your tickets if you have any question at all about being able to attend the event.

It is also a smart idea to buy basketball tickets from a broker because you can get nearly any seat in the arena that you choose. Say you want to sit really close, not quite courtside because you want to save a little bit of money, but still very close. Ask your broker if you can get third or fourth row seats and you will save money and still get a seat selection that not even the stadium itself could offer you.

The play- offs. It is a term that makes a basketball fan gain an elevated heart rate. The NBA play- offs the WNBA play- offs and the NCAA March Madness. These three “Super Tournaments” are highly anticipated and often sell out quickly but most ticket brokers have a number of seats at any of a multitude of games. If you are unsure whether you will be able to attend a certain game or not, just wait. Ticket brokers often provide tickets at the last minute and can get you good deals.

What team is ‘your team?’ Every basketball fan has that certain team that they absolutely love but it doesn’t always mean they are from the same city they live in. For instance, you may live in Chicago but consider the Boston Celtics your favorite team. If the Celtics come to Chicago only twice per year, you may want to get courtside tickets to the games without having to purchase season passes (which most of the courtside tickets consist of). By contacting your ticket broker in advance, you won’t just be able to get a courtside ticket or two (or four or five!), but you will get a pretty affordable price tag as well.
