Any time a pro basketball team gains popularity, you see a significant increase in demand for tickets. The problem is that the supply remains a constant. Therefore you have an increased number of people all wanting the same number of available tickets. There are different ways that people can buy Basketball tickets. Buying from the box office will usually be your cheapest alternative. However once their supply is gone, the tickets are gone. With everyone trying to get tickets this way, sometimes it's better to just spend the extra money and save time by going through a ticket broker.

Yes, Ticket Master would be better because they are usually cheaper. But, a lot of the time, Ticket Master has long lines at their walk up locations and their phones and internet server are too overloaded to handle the demand of tickets. Also, if you do get through, you're not always guaranteed good seats. That's why it is better to go through a reputable ticket broker.

Yes, if you want to buy the best seats there are. But, the average seats aren't really expensive. But, by going through a ticket broker, you save yourself a lot of the hassle of dealing with long lines. With as busy as we all are today, it may actually be cheaper going through a ticket broker when you factor in what your time is worth and how much of it you will spend trying to get tickets from the box office or Ticket Master.

This is by far the biggest misconception about buying premium tickets for any event. A broker is a broker, period. If they weren't there buying and selling tickets we would have no place to go once tickets are sold out. Think about the numbers, if there are over 50,000 season ticket holders, there are probably over 1,000 each week that can't make the game. If they didn't have an easy out by selling to a broker for a profit and just game them to their friends, that is even fewer tickets in circulation and with the same demand, guess what, prices go even higher. The more tickets bought and sold the lower the prices from brokers and that is always best for the fans, period.
