I have been to three Bulls games in the past two weeks. Twice, I had tickets in the nose bleeds and was able to move down to the lower level. There is definitely an art to moving down to better seats during a game. One of they keys is identifying several options in the first half and moving during halftime when it is easiest to get by the ushers.
Tonight, a friend and I realized there is a great backup plan for getting better seats. It involves hanging out by the exit areas in the lower bowl, talking to the usher and asking people leaving for their tickets. Tonight, we spent the third quarter trying to convince two ushers to allow us to sit in the lower section--we were unsuccessful. However, while we were trying to negotiate our way down, two gentlemen left their seats and I asked them for their tickets. They obliged and we were in! We were about 15-20 rows up in the lower bowl and I then spotted two guys leaving in the second row. So, we proceeded to the second row and were thoroughly entertained by a great finish to the Bulls v Cavs game. All of this was inspired because King James decided to "rest" for the playoffs. Thanks LeBron for inspiring innovative strategies for getting better seats.
