Okay, so, about those Lakers season tickets. Let me tell you, getting my hands on these was a journey in itself.
First off, I signed up for the waitlist. Yeah, you heard that right, a waitlist! Apparently, these tickets are hotter than a Southern California summer. Anyway, I got on the list, and let me tell you, the wait was a test of patience. I checked my email like a hawk every single day, hoping for that golden ticket email.
While I was waiting, I did some digging around. I found out that prices change every season. Makes sense, right? If the Lakers are on fire, you bet those prices are gonna shoot up. I saw some numbers flying around online, somewhere between $1,500 and, get this, $7,224 for a season ticket! My jaw dropped. This was serious business.
- I even looked at specific seats.
- For example, last season, sec 106 cost $163 a game, which is over $7,009 for the season.
- This season, it’s $168 a game, totaling $7,224.
- And get this, the year before, sec 210 was $110 per game, adding up to $4,730 for the season!
Finally, after what felt like forever, that email landed in my inbox. I was in! But the work wasn’t over. I had to actually buy the tickets. Now, the official route is through the Lakers’ website or Ticketmaster, but I also heard about people buying and selling on NBATickets. I decided to play it safe and go through the official channels.
The buying process was a bit of a blur of excitement and clicking, but I managed to snag my tickets. And let me tell you, the perks are pretty sweet:
- Get discounts on merch,
- Invites to special events – it’s like being part of the Lakers family, almost.
So, yeah, that’s my Lakers season ticket saga. It was a wild ride, but totally worth it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a game to catch!
