Hi All,
What are the pricing "tiers" for playoff tix?  I want to try today and tomorrow to get some to round 1 and I just want to know ahead of time what each tier is...I believe the cheapest are $12...But what does the next tier jump to from there?
Best,
Rich

$12 is only going to get you the upper balcony directly behind the baskets.  Expect it to jump significantly from there.  That's a 20% increase over the regular box office price.  I expect the more desirable seats to have much more than a 20% markup over box office.

The regular season box office price is (as printed in the pocket schedule):

$10 $48 $58 $68 $78 for balcony (end to corner to sideline to lower sideline)

$88 $98 $118 $128 $148 $178 $188 $198 $228 $298 $318 is for the loge (end to corner to sideline to center court to floors)

I couldn't even really get ANY tickets..tried in home game 1, and got absolutely NOTHING to come up, and that was at exactly 11 o'clock. Only ticket I could get was if I searched for 1 ticket, best available and I forget which section it gave me, but it didn't matter because I'd be going with my girlfriend.

Tried game 2, got a match for a pair of tickets in loge 8 row 18...which is the corner loge, closest to the visitor's bench. But they were like $175/ea. plus the processing fee's and everything which is just a bit above my price range..I was hoping/praying to get an end seat behind the backboard which is a little bit cheaper, as that's where I usually get my seats. Thinking about it now I probably should've gone for it...and sacrificed in other areas lol

My thought process when they showed up: "Dang, I should do it but I don't think I have the money..I don't think my girlfriend will want to pay that much for her ticket, either. I'll pass."

My thought process after I passed it up: "son of a biscuit! this could be the last chance I get to see KG/RA/PP etc in person and I just passed it up..you can't put a price on that! kickin' myself now for not buying them"

So I'll probably do like you and everyone else and check again tomorrow and/or just save up in the short amount of time we have left and splurge for some tickets in one of the later rounds of the playoffs.

Stubhub has tickets that are actually slightly better tickets than what Rondo says he got a chance to buy on ticketmaster.  Also, there is another broker site called www.bigstub.com that I bought tickets from last week.  I found online there is a discount code "APRILVIP" that saves you $20 off your order.  I forget when it expires, I think the 20th?  Ticketliquidator.com had a similar discount code too, if you google search it you can find it.
