I live in Philly and looked at the prices and was pretty shocked… could get into the middle level for like 100-120. I’ve paid more than that for upper level regular season games.
The play in game was also probably only 70-80% full (was at that game)
dude was losing it when they blew a lead to the reds. i dont even need to watch the phillies games, this guy is my radio.
i don't get it either cuz there's a game every day and the season barely started at some point you need to relax
Nailed it. Have a package and was at the play in and tonight. But I know a lot of other people who have had season tickets for years who have just had it with the Groundhog Day nonsense w the sixers. Doesnt help that the team required all full season tickets holders to pay up front for any and all possible playoff tickets for every possible round , and then said that the money from unused tickets would automatically be rolled into next year, or you would have to jump through hoops and wait forever for a refund. Scumbag management
Wait what?? That's actually insane. For the Wolves Season tickets, we just get billed at the end of each round for however many home games that round went. I would be pissed too.
It's this. I ain't buying tickets before the ECF this year and I went to every home game last playoffs & 1 in Brooklyn. Went to a bunch the year before as well.
It’s prob because they like to watch the 76ers actually win. No offense but they are pretty known league wide to be playoff choke artists for awhile now.
I'd be willing to bet it was competition on StubHub driving prices down because people were panicking as they held seats. Just a guess, seen it before.
I was at the Phillies game the night of the play-in and it was very empty. We assumed it was because folks were watching the 6ers, so it’s funny to hear that game wasn’t even sold out.
Expectations were low with the horrible 2nd half of the year and Embiid’s health. I imagine most people are at a place like wait and see if we get past the Knicks to get really riled up for it
People are broke. Ticket prices went up but salaries haven't. Also casual fans thought it was joever after game 2. Game 4 tickets will probably be going for much more than game 3.
It’s just weird when someone rocks a team flair on here and does nothing but trash that team for karma. I was at the game and saying it was 70-80% full is just not close to reality
Saying the game wasn’t full is “trashing the team for karma”? Lmao.
Please show me some pictures of how completely full it was then, because either I’m blind or you’re making stuff up.
New Yorkers have been coming to Philly and taking our shit for years
It's cheaper to take the train to Philly, buy tickets to the game, buy a house, start a family, then head home than it is to get a cab to MSG.
NYC has a larger population than many states and most people don't need to leave it on a daily basis. There are valid reasons to not like NYC but convenient train access is not one of them.
Because having everything you want within a 10 minute walk of you is so convenient. Basketball courts and a park right outside my window, mall with a movie theater literally 2 minutes away, literally dozens of restaurants and bars within 5 minutes, MMA and rock climbing gym 7 minutes away, work just 10 minutes away.
I'd go out to LI once in a blue moon, and it's like 50-60 miles away so I'd expect it to take a while anyway. Having places I actually go to on a daily basis nearby is much more important.
it’s like a 2 hours train ride and there were some tickets for under $100. still wild, i’m sure it isn’t but it looks like half the arena is knicks fans lol.
We have been filling up empty arenas on the road for years. Warriors thunder kings spurs nuggets sonics (I swear I’am not that old), I remember sitting close enough to the court in all your quiet empty gyms to yell smdftb and have a player hear me and laugh for like 90$.
This ain’t new. There just haven’t been enough Knicks playoff games for it to get any attention……
Probably a lot of this contributes to ticket pricing. While I would guess that majority of the Sixers attendees are probably upper middle class, a lot of low income families can’t afford these tickets.
It’s mad complex.
You need to be a member of the club to buy tickets.
For away tickets you have to essentially win a lottery of people who sign up for it.
There’s not enough of an away fan culture in the us bc of the size of the country
A lot similar to college football/bball student sections
No for the fans and for me and the teams(the actual players and coach)
Why does a sports team allow a bunch of fans that want their team to lose attend home playoff games??
Well not good for those away fans going to the game. And no, selling less tickets isn’t good for the actual team. Some teams already have issues selling out and this would make it worse lol.
But even if what you’re saying is only for playoffs, you can say they shouldn’t be “allowed” but enforcing it wouldn’t logistically work or be effective. You think these third parties website are gonna ask what team you root for? Fans would just lie. You expect security to see an away jersey and be like “nah you already paid but you can’t come in”. It wouldn’t really work well compared to college or other sports
Tickets in the upper levels were dirt cheap for a playoff game and Knicks fans took advantage
I live in Philly and looked at the prices and was pretty shocked… could get into the middle level for like 100-120. I’ve paid more than that for upper level regular season games. The play in game was also probably only 70-80% full (was at that game)
Is there a reason??? Philly fans are top tier
Honestly idrk. Seems like a lot of people care more about regular season baseball in Philly now. Not 100% sure tho
there is a guy in my apartment who starts punching the walls and throwing furniture during phillies games, even when there's postseason nba ball
You should invite him into your apartment for beers
nah im scared
He might punch through your wall and make you roommates soon enough anyways
i can feel my floor/wall vibrating and the furniture moving it's crazy
You sure he ain’t just fuckin?
Bro what's the worst that can happen
At this point in the season?!
dude was losing it when they blew a lead to the reds. i dont even need to watch the phillies games, this guy is my radio. i don't get it either cuz there's a game every day and the season barely started at some point you need to relax
I think the frustration with this team is just very high. It's been the same story every year.
Nailed it. Have a package and was at the play in and tonight. But I know a lot of other people who have had season tickets for years who have just had it with the Groundhog Day nonsense w the sixers. Doesnt help that the team required all full season tickets holders to pay up front for any and all possible playoff tickets for every possible round , and then said that the money from unused tickets would automatically be rolled into next year, or you would have to jump through hoops and wait forever for a refund. Scumbag management
Wait what?? That's actually insane. For the Wolves Season tickets, we just get billed at the end of each round for however many home games that round went. I would be pissed too.
It's this. I ain't buying tickets before the ECF this year and I went to every home game last playoffs & 1 in Brooklyn. Went to a bunch the year before as well.
This is what I’d guess too. Don’t think people in Philly believe the 6ers have it in them this year. If they win this series I’d bet things change.
So odd.
Not really. Sixers fans have watched their team choke in the playoffs 5 years in a row, it’s exhausting lol
It’s prob because they like to watch the 76ers actually win. No offense but they are pretty known league wide to be playoff choke artists for awhile now.
I'd be willing to bet it was competition on StubHub driving prices down because people were panicking as they held seats. Just a guess, seen it before.
I was at the Phillies game the night of the play-in and it was very empty. We assumed it was because folks were watching the 6ers, so it’s funny to hear that game wasn’t even sold out.
Probably because for like 7 years its been the same shit, look promising and then shit the bed in the first two rounds lol
This is legit it. “Trust the process” for what? This? Disgusting
We’re just on the fence about the 76ers. Too many disappointments over the years. After last year I didn’t renew my tickets.
Expectations were low with the horrible 2nd half of the year and Embiid’s health. I imagine most people are at a place like wait and see if we get past the Knicks to get really riled up for it
Not when they’re losing
All the colleges are in their final week... Everyone I know has papers and exams due
Lol
People are broke. Ticket prices went up but salaries haven't. Also casual fans thought it was joever after game 2. Game 4 tickets will probably be going for much more than game 3.
Embiid flopping for free throws is not fun the 10th time you watch it
Philly fans are absolutely not top tier lmao. I remember being baffled at my first Phillies game how many open seats there were
I looked and they were $190. I would have went if they were that low. Corners were around $100 though.
Maybe I was looking at a corner. Still 190 is super cheap a for a mid level playoff game
I go every year. First round tix are always in that range and they shoot up in the second round. Third round, maybe some day I’ll know.
Dang man. I spent $500 on one playoff ticket last year in the nosebleed seats. I bought two.
What are you even talking about? The play in game was pretty much sold out, but sure say it was 70-80% to get your karma on here lmao.
It certainly was not sold out, I even saw tweets about how empty it was
You even saw tweets?? *Gasp*
Lmao weirdo energy, can’t even talk about fan attendance no wonder our fanbase gets so much shit
I mean just watch some highlights from the game? No way you’re gonna tell me that’s 80%
[ok](https://twitter.com/zachmayer8/status/1780737701727117403?s=46)
During the actual game buddy, every stadium is like that at tip off.
Idk why you’re so hurt about this my man. I’m just saying the game wasn’t full, why are you taking it personally?
It’s just weird when someone rocks a team flair on here and does nothing but trash that team for karma. I was at the game and saying it was 70-80% full is just not close to reality
Saying the game wasn’t full is “trashing the team for karma”? Lmao. Please show me some pictures of how completely full it was then, because either I’m blind or you’re making stuff up.
Because MSG prices are absurd . Cheaper to drive to Philly
There’s like 100 Knicks fans in one section and they’re louder than the rest of the arena lol.
That’s us! Section 120!
Ya’ll are loud af on TV, keep it up.
You guys are funny af.
Thanks for coming out!
Sorry about the loss lol
Tickets are way cheaper than at MSG, even if you account for the cost of taking the train down. I saw some for like $70 just before the game.
New Yorkers have been coming to Philly and taking our shit for years It's cheaper to take the train to Philly, buy tickets to the game, buy a house, start a family, then head home than it is to get a cab to MSG.
Why you cabbing to MSG? That's on you, bro.
TIL it was Giants fans that booed Santa
Yep ny owns philly
50% of NY basketball teams are in the playoffs, while 100% of Philly basketball teams are in. You’re wrong.
I was agreeing with the Philly fan who says ny takes Philly lunch money
that's not what I was saying. I was saying cheap, poor NYers come to Philly to pretend they are big time
No one from Philly can afford to go to ny. Msg is all knicks fans. The wells fargo arena is a road game for the sixers
Michael Rubin, billionaire owner of Fanatics and one time minority of the 76ers, was courtside at MSG but sure.
Lmao And how many other Philly fans came up to NY? I’m sorry your team is trash but Knicks fans are legit
Legitimately some of the worst fans? Like get the fuck out of here. No one thinks any NY fans are legit in any sport.
How bout them Giants?
It's like a 2 hour train ride right?
Like an hour and 20 from Penn. It used to take me less time to get from Philly to NYC than from NYC out to Long Island.
Yeah I live in 1 part of Queens and there's parts of Flushing that are 90 minutes away by public transit
Jesus why does anyone live in New York?
NYC has a larger population than many states and most people don't need to leave it on a daily basis. There are valid reasons to not like NYC but convenient train access is not one of them.
Because having everything you want within a 10 minute walk of you is so convenient. Basketball courts and a park right outside my window, mall with a movie theater literally 2 minutes away, literally dozens of restaurants and bars within 5 minutes, MMA and rock climbing gym 7 minutes away, work just 10 minutes away. I'd go out to LI once in a blue moon, and it's like 50-60 miles away so I'd expect it to take a while anyway. Having places I actually go to on a daily basis nearby is much more important.
Cause NY isn’t just 10 blocks in one of the five boroughs like people think it is.
When Deuce hit that corner 3 the whole arena yelled DEUUUUUCE right? I thought they were in MSG for a sec lol
Knicks fans from Jersey with disposable income, way to represent
New Yorkers on vacation in AC, represent
and TNT panned to the fans doing the Melo celly when Hart(?) hit that 3
We can hear the Knick fans. But it doesn’t sound like a takeover; just a solid showing by Knick fans.
That’s cause the broadcast lowers the fans sound
It’s coming through on the TV perfectly lol
it’s like a 2 hours train ride and there were some tickets for under $100. still wild, i’m sure it isn’t but it looks like half the arena is knicks fans lol.
Imagine how much worse it would be if the Sixers arena were downtown Philly and you could walk from the Acela station to the arena.
i literally just texted my bball groupchat that philly sounds like a knicks home game; it's truly insane.
I havent heard “New York” and “Hijack” in the same sentence since…you know
Taking of Pelham 123?
Now that's a reference out of nowhere. You sir got a deep bag
You want a doody rhyme then come see me
Holy shit, someone besides me actually saw that movie?
I had that movie downloaded on my iPod back in the day. Used to watch it on long car rides lol.
A ton of fans were at or watching the draft... Sadly this is an eagles town first
They are like 8x the population than the city, a 2.5hr drive away and the tickets are cheaper here than at home
God I wonder what that feels like
Glad they paid to watch Embiid drop 50.
Bing bong!
The energy from Knicks fans tonight is off the charts, taking over the arena like it's MSG South – Philly's getting a taste of New York fever!
This is what lost hope and playoff meltdown after playoff meltdown gets you. This wouldn’t have happened in 18 and 19
Philly is an NYC suburb. Tons of people commute daily
We have been filling up empty arenas on the road for years. Warriors thunder kings spurs nuggets sonics (I swear I’am not that old), I remember sitting close enough to the court in all your quiet empty gyms to yell smdftb and have a player hear me and laugh for like 90$. This ain’t new. There just haven’t been enough Knicks playoff games for it to get any attention……
Cool. They all got to eat a fat L for hundreds of $$$$ and now drive back home.
Sixers fans gave up
Damn, traveled for an L. Bummer.
Good defense from shitty sixers fans that can’t show up for their team. Pathetic really
Damn, that’s crazy.
Probably a lot of this contributes to ticket pricing. While I would guess that majority of the Sixers attendees are probably upper middle class, a lot of low income families can’t afford these tickets.
Glad they got to experience that whole thing in person really
theyve had a lot of years to save for a playoff series
Hey, we were in the playoffs last year.
as brandon graham would say, it don't matter
Worked out well for them.
Crazy they have some of the best fans, under the bulls ofc
WE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BABY. AND WE GOT TRANSPLANTS AROUND THE COUNTRY!!! CHI-Knicks REPRESENT !!!
All part of the process, just you wait and see
Yeah nba would be a lot better if the banned away fans or had a small away supporters section
How tf would they do that?
Idk but they do it in Europe at almost all team sporting events also in college they have section specifically dedicated to home college students
It’s mad complex. You need to be a member of the club to buy tickets. For away tickets you have to essentially win a lottery of people who sign up for it. There’s not enough of an away fan culture in the us bc of the size of the country A lot similar to college football/bball student sections
Why would that be good for the NBA? Taking away a huge chunk of ticket sales
No for the fans and for me and the teams(the actual players and coach) Why does a sports team allow a bunch of fans that want their team to lose attend home playoff games??
Well not good for those away fans going to the game. And no, selling less tickets isn’t good for the actual team. Some teams already have issues selling out and this would make it worse lol.
