Question
Hi,

I am looking to buy good tickets for an NBA game – the Cavaliers vs. Grizzlies on Dec. 13 in Memphis.  The problem is I can get them only through Ticketmaster, which has only rafter seats available.  I thought buying them at eBay would be the best chance to get better, nearer-to-courtside seats, but there are as of yet none available for this particular game.  Do you recommend any other way of getting better tickets online for this game?  Also, is there any way I can have eBay alert me when an auction involving the words “Cavaliers” and “Grizzlies” goes up, or do I have to check constantly?  

Thanks for your help,

Evin

Answer
If a game is a hot commodity, then tickets are going to be very hard to get.  At this point in time, I expect eveyrone with a ticket is planning on getting to the game.  You may be more likely to find a ticket in November or even early December than now.

You can run a favorite search and have it email you when a search is found.  Go to the MyEbay section of the site.  You will need to sign in for this.  Then look down the let hand side of the window for the FAVORITES section.

click on the SEARCHES and follow the directions.  

Enjoy the game!
