My Celtics Ticket Hunt Adventure
So yesterday my buddy texts me “Yo Celtics playoff run is fire – let’s catch a game!” Got me hyped but I knew tickets wouldn’t come cheap. Grabbed my laptop like right then and started digging.
First stop: official team website. Man I choked seeing those prices! Found some nosebleeds around $250-300 before fees. Lower bowl? Forget it – $900+ easy unless Magic were selling popcorn that night. Crazy!
Checked resale sites next – felt like panning for gold in a sewer. Kept clicking through:
- Filtered by cheapest first – saw some $199 ones but BAM $78 processing fee slapped on each!
- Found obstructed views cheaper… until realizing the hoop was blocked. No thanks!
- Some fool listed $50 tickets… for preseason games in October. People really try this?
Nearly gave up when my coffee break came through clutch. Remembered cashback apps exist! Found one giving 5% back on ticket sites. Not huge but hell – that’s beer money.
Biggest win? My library card! Didn’t know they run discount programs for locals. Signed up for their culture pass – grabbed two upper levels at $205 each with zero fees. Felt like I robbed the place!
Final pro tip? Never buy day-of. My neighbor got scalped paying $350 for same seats I got. Watched our game from Section 308 last night – couldn’t see Tatum’s pores but the atmosphere? Electric.
