Single Game Tickets for Opening Night?

Any idea if I can still buy season tickets (opening night included obviously) with them giving current STHs the option to buy more today?

 

As RR said, me and a buddy went in on a six pack plan that includes opening night.  We're upper level in 203 about halfway up, but I don't care I just want to be in the building.  It was only $288 for the pair for six games (split at $144 each).

 

In addition to opening night, we got Miami, Chicago, Clippers, Golden State, and Brooklyn.

 

If you want I can give you the name and number of my ticket rep.  He's a cool guy and will steer you right.  They only have upper level for these packages though, in case that's a deal breaker.

I called and i'm not thrilled about my options...

I didn't know the toal amount for the tix was due by the start of the season, so I go in thinking the payment plan was going to be made over the 10 or 8 month time frame. WRONG. It has to be paid in full by the end of November, so there has to be two payments made by then # one up front when you commit and the other at the end of November.

So, even in the nosebleeds in the baseline ($8 per seat) for two seats, I have to make two payments of $370 in a little over a month for them. I've sat in those seats once, and I cannot imagine paying that much for them, especially considering if I did, I don't see there being a thriving resale market for them.

The sideline nosebleeds are $12.50 a seat, so for two seats, I believe that was two payments of $580. Definitely a lot different than me telling my wife it would be about $40 a month for 8 months.

I think all of my options are wack because I won't be able to go to THAT many games. The pick 6 plan is fine, but value-wise, I would prefer the season tix and be a swarm365 member with potential to trade up during the season at least one game. Pick 6 sucks too in that they consider opening night a marquee game, so if you do that you can't pick cleveland, okc, or the like... brightside with nosebleeds - YOU CAN BE AT EVERY GAME, BUT GOOD LUCK SEEING IT! LOL.

What do you guys think?

And I still want to take my wife and kids (5 of us altogether) to opening night somehow.

Just wait a few weeks then buy opening night tickets off StubHub. Right now people are out of their mind being greedy and price gouging tickets at a 1,000% profit. Almost nobody is gonna pay $100+ per seat for a shitty $8-12 nosebleed seat to watch the Bucks and Hornets play during the middle of the week.

FYI...I bought a block of seats for opening night in the upper corners and they were $65/seat. So the $8-$12 that you're referring to was not the price for opening night. They used a sliding scale pricing model and the face value price rose as inventory went down. I bought pretty early, so I would imagine there are seats higher than mine that cost even more.

So.... If you're thinking people are charging $100 for $12 seats, unless they are their normal season tickets, you wrong.

And this isn't the "Bucks and Hornets in the middle of the week". This is the first game back as the Hornets. Day and opponent hardly matter. And if you don't think people will pay $100+ for that then you're outta your mind and should just plan on watching from your couch.

My block was $65 each. Those on StubHub for $75 are probably just a little over face. You're not going to get a better deal than that on the secondary market.

As it gets closer to the game and the inventory decreases the prices will rise. There won't be a shortage of demand for this game

Tix have been listed on StubHub for weeks. Its not those blocks sold this week.
