Post by: vinnie on February 27, 2013, 10:08:43 PM
These are $115 seats during the regular season. Quite the markup. The rounds go like this: first, $145; second, $180; third, $220. and finals, $290.

Not sure which section these are in, but when I went to the Finals in 2010, I believe I paid somewhere around $240  per seat for section 20.  They weren't season tickets, I bought through Club Green, but I think it was considered face value.

Are they new seats? My season seats are first round prices the whole playoffs.

Wow, no kidding. Where are your seats? Mine are sec 16 row 12.

I have a half season which is more economical, therefore my playoff tixs won't be too expensive.

put money on the celtics making the finals.  The odds are so ridiculously unlikely, that it will probably cost you little to nothing to place the bet.  In the event the Celtics actually make the finals, the ridiculous payout will pay for your tickets... 

When boston doesn't make the finals... you will have only wasted 10 bucks to chase a dream.  My logic is sound.  Call your bookie.

Have had them for many years. Loge section 10, row 13. I think the prices might be higher because I am not renewing my season tickets.

Unless you have some sort of super special deal, there is no way they stay the same price throughout.

No kidding. I used to have a full season, but it was way too much. Too expensive and I couldn't make it to every game nor could I find someone to sell every game to that I didn't make it down for.

Talk to your rep.  I don't know if mine escalate or not per round, but mine are also center balcony, mid rows, and average out to $60 each over the entire playoffs.

I know they used to escalate in the past, then I think it was 2011 (?) they moved to a fixed cost and kept it last postseason too.

Off the top of my head, I wonder if it might have to do with what option you chose back during the lockout.  I'd have to go back and look but my playoff tickets were definitely a flat rate last year and are only averaging like $60 for the entire playoffs this year. (Sec. 311 Row 1)
