G’day, after years of wishful thinking, I’m finally going to be travelling from Australia to watch the sixers play. 🥳 And because of timing the only game I can see is Philly v nets, so I get to cheer pretend Aussie Ben, unless he gets a papercut and is rested for the game.
Now I’ve got my Ben rant out of the way, need some advice. As it is the last regular season game of season, plus it’s against the nets, should I buy tixs now or wait until closer to date? I know there is no rhyme or reason to when tickets will go up/down but are last reg season games popular, is our disdain of Ben a selling point??
Our Aussie dollar is worth sweet fa at the moment so can really only justify level 200 tickets, but love to get into lower bowl.
Many thanks, go sixers!
Personally, I think buying tickets to the last game of the season is a big risk that you’re gonna spend all this money to see our scrubs play their scrubs in a dead arena. Last game of the season is usually meaningless as playoff seeds are usually set by then. I’d go about a month earlier to make sure you attend a meaningful game at a fun atmosphere, if you’re coming all this way. Chances are lineups are gonna looks like this:

I bet even if the sixers need to win for better seeding it still will be better to wait. Outside of some real marquee matchups or special days like Christmas, tickets get significantly cheaper day of. If you need more than a pair together though availability may be a problem buying too late.
