Translation: He wants to know how much tickets would cost to see well, up close to the court...

Seeing as how there is only one home game left this season, I would say your options are very limited.

I am in the same boat as well. I'm wanting to take my girlfriend to her first game. I'm really not wanting to sit up in the 300's. Do scalpers have lower level tickets?

Scalpers have all level tickets 1,2 and 3.

Look on stubhub OP, and at uttix.com. Those will give you an idea what they're going for it usually scalpers will be cheaper.

One big thing though...if UT wins the next 2 tickets for the last gane are gonna sky rocket.

Are scalpers outside of the arena as you go in? Like I said earlier to you I'm willing to spend up $150 for two tickets if I can get good lower level seats.

To give you an idea; I sold 2 of my tickets for the Candy game in 131, just below midway up, for $50 each. That was 3 weeks ago. These are corner seats closest to UT bench. As you reach middle of floor and lower the price is gonna go up. If we win out the price will go up.

If I had to estimate, for all of lower bowl could look to pay from face value to 150 a ticket depending on where you sit. For a good view, anywhere except behind the goal has always been good for me.

Yes they are right by the ramps going in.

As I said you'll have no problem getting great tickets for that price. I'm gonns guess even if we win out you shouldn't spend more than 50 a ticket for great seats.

No way scalpers are selling that high. UK tickets went LL around 20 a piece, you got a sucker to buy yours for sure haha.

I second that. Don't spend more than $100 you can see well from almost anywhere down low. Haggle a little too and make sure you know section numbers to get where you want.

Sold mine on stubhub, only suckers buy from there, which is why I sold them there. My figures were if he were buying on stubhub, I forgot about scalpers

You have to haggle with the scalpers and don't he afraid to shop around if you want the best deal.

In my experience they will take close to half what they're asking for tickets.

Gotcha. Yea I rarely use stubhub, which I live 3/4 of a mile from TBA so I usually check stubhub then go talk to scalpers if they aren't coming down to where stubhub is I just come home and buy from stubhub.
