yea, he's been doing his SVG all season...try to find the video of him coaching the Sophomores at the All-Star weekend when he's giving his pre game and half time messages to the team as Van Gundy...straight jokes...

Anybody ever been to a finals game?

I was thinking about trying to get tickets, anybody know how much tickets go for, for a decent seat, and when they go on sale

 

[rtillaree 10+ year member]

I'm getting my finals tickets today, they are slightly more than my season seats...they vary so widely though, there is no one set price obviously...and I have no idea how much the other seats go for in Orlando, just my own...

as far as buying some, in the case of Orlando, season ticket holders get first dibs on seats...they dont open public purchase until this Sunday I believe (first game here is Tuesday the 9th), once they do so you have to buy them up right away, the public seats for the Cavs/Magic series sold out in 5 minutes...I imagine these will go equally as fast, if not faster...

**** guess my odds aren't very good, thanks for the info

If it's like any other city, than you won't get any tickets unless you are a privileged season ticket holder. I have unsuccessfully tried for World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals tickets. The brokers have them in no time and charge double to triple.

Yeah from what I've learned so far cheapest ticket is going for around 2500 for public purchase

I actually thought that was weaksauce on the Van Gundy impression.

Wait till the day of or day before the game. In 2006, World Series tickets were going for $1500 for $150 seats. By the day before, they were down to $300 and some could be had for face value or $200 the day of the game.

Couldn't have been happier with tonight's game except I would prefer if Kobe took 5 or so less shots. LA's bigs did a great job on Orlando's bigs.

Lol does it really matter if he took 5 more shots or 5 less shots? They still blew them out by over 20 points. Lakers in 6. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

No, not really but I would like the rest to the team to get more touches so they don't get bored. Just nitpicking.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I believe Orlando will come back and win the next one.

 

[2NYCE 10+ year member]

Lakers vs. Cavs wouldve been a better Finals

It seems like Orlando cant hang with LA

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Would have loved to see the Cavs, but Orlando beat us, and that is just how it goes.

Not to mention it is only 1 game fro christ sakes. I don't see the Lakers walking all over them in game two, nor in Orlando.
