Moving into Vacant Seats @ 36ers Games
Do many people here move into better vacant seat in a better position or do you stay where your ticket indicated regardless?

I did this once at a Blaze game last year. The people turned up at half time.

Ive got mates that go every week, and religiously end up sitting in better seats than mine. Then again ive seen 3 titles won from my seat, so you couldnt pay me to move!

In the past I have moved seats, not always to be in a better spot, sometimes worse, usually to sit with friends.

I move because my season ticket seats suck. I might as well have paid for Silver seats, since we're in the back row of the Gold seats. My son can't see over the people in front from where we're supposed to be, so we move to somewhere where he can see.
So you have to find alternative seats every game Mantis!? Where do you normally move to?

I think its open season on seats once the game goes past the first quarter.

We normally don't even go to our correct seats at all, instead head straight down the stairs when we get in and sit behind the northern basket.

in the old days we use to ask people to move to vacant seats so that it looked nice and full for TV!
There pretty much always seems to be heaps of vacant seats on the northern side right near the court. Never understood why more people don't move into them. Also looks crappy on TV when they are empty.

about ten years ago i had seats up the back with 2 friends, and we noticed the 3 seats next to the opposition players race were free. this was during the time when most games were close to selling out so finding seats was hard. so we moved there and my friend called tonny jensen a wanker when they walked in for half time and drew a reaction from tonny. good times!!
I have season tickets with some friends and almost every week we have to ask people to move from our seats. We always arrive prior to the start of the game. The people who sit next to us for some years never get there until quarter time and they usually have to ask people to move. I believe you should have to sit in your allocated seats. But the allocation of seats should be better organised.

The good empty seats towards the front would be season ticket holders' seats who have not come to the game. They can't fill these seats because they are already sold.

the classic moving seats story was when a whole bunch of my mates and i bought the cheapest seats in the house for Magic johnson all stars game, and then ended up sitting front row behind the basket in seats that were worth like 80 bucks.. was a great night and got the attention of magic and the other guys...
and yes i always move seats.. buy cheap seats and move!!

I was wondering who moved into the North stand next to me. Lost all that leg room =(.
What I wouldn't give for wider seats... and actual padding. You'd figure a Gold pass would actually offer something like that.

Wow, was that the game where he single-handedly ripped us a new one? That is one of the VERY few games, that I DID NOT enjoy.
