I’m making my way to Boston to see the Celtics-Magic game in mid-December to see my first game in the Garden.

I have two main questions for advice:

1. Should I wait to get tickets, or are the prices now, the best prices I’m going to get? I’m from Houston, so cheap tickets are easy to come by right before the game, but I am sure that’s not as prevalent in Boston.
2. Is there any reason to get to the stadium early? Anything cool in there to see?

Of course, I will happily take any other Boston suggestions as I’ll have a little extra time in the city too. Cannot wait to see Tingus live for the first time, and hoping for a Tatum 50 bomb.
