Road Trip Portland / Seattle

try getting knicks tickets at MSG in 300 section and then start complaining.

"Do the Bulls help season ticket holders with procurring tickets to Bulls away games?"

I own four season tickets. Based on my experience last year, the answer is no. They'll just direct you to NBA.com or the host team's website. It isn't like college football, where the visiting team gets an allotment. But you could try to call your ticket rep.

And yes, Bulls fans do pay a premium on tickets. I you want to see some REALLY cheap tickets, you should look at the Hornet's website (at least they were unbelievably cheap last season).

Am I to understand you're going to drive from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest in February?  Or are you just calling it that and planning to fly?  Because that's probably not the ideal time to scoot 2500 miles in a car with some of it being over mountainous terrain.

You definitely would not want to drive through the Cascades in winter.  Sometimes they just close I-90 due to avalanches, and you just sit and wait.  Have tire-chains & plenty of supplies.  The reason for slow ticket sales in Seattle is of course that everyone here assumes that the team will move next year.  Last week owner Clay Bennett (of Oklahoma) and the Seattle mayor called off a meeting because they were so far apart that there was nothing to discuss.  There is huge opposition here to another tax-funded stadium, and the Sonics appear determined to move unless they get one.  Note also that the Sonics won't be much fun to watch.  Perhaps Kevin D. will be worth the price of admission, but this team won about 30 games last year and has lost their two stars (Allen & Lewis).  Portland's another story, and could be a dynasty in the making with Roy, Oden, & co.  Still if you're looking for a deal my advice  would be to put the money towards the biggest, best TV you can find instead of flying to Seattle.
