WHEN ARE REGULAR SEASON tickets available? Sometime in August. Any questions?

Actually, regualr season tickets wont go on sale until late September/early Oct.
August is when Season Seat Renewals are done, early September is when they call for new season seats (if available) and finally late September they go on sale via ticketmaster.

Can the STH please post when they start getting calls for upgrades? I'm a STH and was not called last year, said there were no upgrades in my section (upstairs, $27 seats). I'm thinking with the economy there might be upgrades. I hope.

don't be too excited...I expect the Lakers to raise ticket prices now with all the salaries they have to pony up.

STH's received a letter a few months back guaranteeing NOT to raise STH ticket prices. Plus, we already paid for next years tickets.

Jeanie Buss several months ago publicly said there will be no price increase for the 2009-10 season; STH or otherwise.

Of course Jerry Buss can swoop in and "take that offer off the table"

Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors
Friday, Oct. 9, 2009 @ 7:00pm
Location: The Forum in Inglewood, CA
Tickets on Sale: Wed. August 12 @ 10:00am
For tickets, call 1-800-4-NBA-TIX or visit Ticketmaster.com.

I'll be there for sure...

It nice that the Lakers didn't raise season tix prices.

As a season ticket holder, they sent us a grab bag with 2 beach towels, 1 championship cap and 1 locker room championship shirt. Very nice of them, I guess.

Man! that many people on the waiting list huh? When did you put a deposit?
I was on the list for 2 Years, finally got my tix during the 03-04 season.

After reading this, which was updated 2 weeks ago:

Just this year. The letter said there was about a 3-4 year waiting list. I know, it's crazy. How many people were in front of you when you made your deposit?

Woohoo!!!

Does anybody now if the single letter rows are closer to the court or the double letters are?

Hey STH out there, any word on upgrades? I remember the past few years its been around this time when they call for possible upgrades. I have not been called yet. Anyone get upgrades yet? I know they go in order of seniority, so just wondering if you got an upgrade how many years have you had tix?

I've had tickets for two seasons (this will be my third) and have not gotten a call yet... but my STH Rep said she's working on things.

My friends who have had tickets for 4 years (this will be their 5th) just got upgraded from the 300s to the 200s... so there are some things happening.

How long have to had tix?

Thanks for the info.
I have had tix for 6 years (going into my 7th).
I'm up in the 300's ($27 seats) no calls yet.

Its good to hear that your friend got an upgrade. I did not ask for a price upgrade i just want a few rows lower.

No call yet here either. Going on my 3rd year and looking for a location upgrade in the 200's...

I'm not getting hopeful. Which would suck... I'm starting to dislike my seats.

anyone looking to sell the home opener, i would appreciate it if you hit me up because i really want to go. and please dont jack up the prices crazy high. if you are looking to make a couple bucks i understand, but please help me out. only need 2. i want to take my little brother for his birthday. thanks in advance.

I'm looking to get some tickets for the April 2nd game against the Jazz. I don't want anything super expensive but I don't want to sit in the nosebleeds either. Where would you guys recommend? It's probably going to be a small group that will be going.
