Man I wish I could be in TO to see a playoff game.

12:30 start for the game on Saturday WTF

 

I was really hoping for a night game. Afternoon games are always much sleepier.

 

Whatever though. Let's go Raps!

First raptor playoff game and im going to miss it because of a crappy start time. Probably going to have to take my lunch at work at an awkward time to catch the last 15 minutes of the game

Everyone GTF down to Maple Leaf Square for game 1 even if you don't have tix. Gonna be all sorts of s*** going on.

[jaysblue]

Got seats for Game 2 from a teacher I know whose friend has season tickets and wasn't able to go to the first two games. Bought them at face value $178 each, 13 rows from the court. Could have got Game 1 as well, though couldn't find anyone to go with on Saturday. The 12:30 start time sucks though will admit. Wish the game was Saturday night.

That's quite ridiculous. Your better off watching the game at a bar or at home rather than spend that much to sit up that high. I know the atmosphere will be amazing, though still.

 

Heck people spending like $400-500 for a pair of seats, you're probably better off spending a bit more and buying a huge LED flat screen TV lol.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Chills down my spine:

I can't miss this man. Been a hardcore Raps fan since day 1. It's gonna be magical.

[theblujay]

I'm so pumped for this game!!! I wish I lived in the city so I could go watch on the big screen, but I'll just have to enjoy at my house

No kidding. I just hope they don't lay an egg in the first game... That would kill any type of hype before it even got started.

Ala the 2013 Blue Jays?

If you still want to go to game 1, I am down to go! hahah

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Ticket prices on Stubhub are falling today. Keep your eyes open guys. See a pair there now for 120 USD

Should be awesome! Are you going to any of the games?

Ticket prices for these games are astronomical to begin with - I just can't see people forking over so much more than face value like $700-$800 for a pair of seats in the lower bowl.

 

I'm sure seats that are $60 face value could easily get $200 for the pair. I wouldn't be shocked though to see prices going down as we get later in the evening/tomorrow morning. Trust me, people will start to get worried and lower their ticket prices on StubHub in order to get rid of them.

I really, really wish I had the money to get out to a game. This blows. I'll watch it from home though.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Yeah dude, got tix for both games. Do you have my number? Give me a text when you're down by the ACC

Ask your parents?

Trust me, if they had it their way we'd be there tomorrow. They want to go too. Just probably isn't a smart purchase atm which sucks.

[dineke]

I think it's better watching it on a HDTV at home with a couple of friends than being there tbh. Save a few hundred bucks on the tickets + no paying for overpriced food and no long washroom lines.

Nah, nothing beats the atmosphere. I don't plan on eating/drinking there. It's just money. At the end of the day I'd probably spend it on some stupid s*** anyways. Might as well make some memories.

I'll be at the game on Tuesday night. Likely heading down to Corks before for some food and beer. Send me your number and we'll try and meet before the game for a couple of beers.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

It's GAME DAY. Nets are staying at a hotel like 15 feet from my building. Going to go try to steal Paul Pierce's wheelchair before I head down to the game.

 

LETS GO RAPS!!!

[GD]

Ticket prices are getting low enough that I might be able to go on Tuesday if I can find a friend who wants to go.

Lets go raptors!
