Advice on Finding Cheap Tickets?

Hi all

I currently live in San Luis Obispo, which means I don't get a chance to go to many games.  However, fortune has smiled upon me and I will be in the Northern California area this weekend, which means a good opportunity to see K-Mart, Tyreke, and co. agains the Warriors.  However, I'm finding it hard to get cheap tickets. 

I need 3 (which is really making it hard) of the cheapest tickets available.  Does anyone have any advice on good places to look that I might have missed?  craigslist only has listings of pairs, altho one that is $200 for 3...a little out of my price range.  kings.com rapes w/ service charges.  Stubhub only has $100+ tickets, same /w ticketsnow.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  I am in need!  Help me Kings fans!


Thanks

Craig

Go to sacbee.com

click on “Classifieds” and type “Kings tickets” in the search box. I just tried it and it only returned one ad, but it looks like it might fit what you’re looking for.

That is pretty perfect actually. I emailed the guy, hopefully it works out!

Goodluck

Hopefully no one snatched-up that game yet.

That doucher

isn’t answering. I’m guessing he sold the tickets already. I guess box office it is.

Dumb question on my part

but did you try the box office? This is not a sellout.

I haven't

But I have thought about it. Do you know what the deal is w/ service charges and whatnot? My plan is if I don’t find tickets to just go to the game and go to the box office or try to buy from a scalper.

Kings preseason game scalper. There’s a guy I want to talk to about life.

Saw a couple at the Blazers game

They are out there…

and lodi, if you want to get tix without paying fees, contact a Kings rep. I’m sure you can find some phone numbers on the kings website

The future begins now...

I was going to say

You wont pay a service charge at the Arco Box Office.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Maybe the they should run public service announcements- starring Francisco Garcia and Sean May (as the expected mother), warning of the dangers of big blue balls. -- JJham15 10/13/09

Just tell them

you were thinking about getting season tickets but wanted to check out a game and they’ll probably give them to you for free

Uncanny.

I was just in the process of applying for a federal research grant on just that subject.
