Finding the best seat in the centre

December 8, 2006 2:38 PM

How do I get the best seat for a single Clippers game at the Staples Centre? Help me get a good deal...

Going to be in LA for the night of the Raptors game (12/20). I could buy online now from a place like this or I could just head down there that night and brave the scalpers. All I want is a single (relatively good) ticket. How close do Clippers games get to being sell outs?

Oh, and I've tried ebay (bleh) and craigslist (rarely any singles and rather messy)...

Well, last season I was able to get seats in section 155, row H for 60 bucks each for a mid-week game, the weekend before the game on ticketmaster.com. However, the Clippers are doing a lot better this season, aren't they? and since the Lakers don't really have a team, a lot of LA fans have started to root for them...

Took the plunge and went ticketexchange through ticketmaster. Four rows back, section 110. $85. Bargain!

If you haven't seen heard of it, check out StubHub. It's pretty much the place to go to get "secondary market" tickets.

Stubhub's page for your dec 20 clippers game has 300+ seats for sale. From $12 nose bleed seat to a $2k suite. They have a selection from almost anywhere.
