Yes they were. They were loud. I was in 330. The rest of the UConn fans in TD BankNorth Garden needed to pick it up, IMO. Our section 330 had mostly UConn fans but they were quite, SMH.
How was it in Boston?

Section 327 second to last row, and I agree that the view of the court was great. Better than Barclay's.

Well worth it for me. It was 70/30 UConn/ISU where I was in 303. I guess it was the ISU corner.
At the under 12 of game 2 I relocated to loge and sat with some hardcore Cyclone fans behind their bench

If buying in balcony I would suggest section 323ish over through 327. I thought the view was still good from that area and still pretty close to the UConn section, felt like we had an engaged group. Cheapest way to get in the building
I’ve been using Tick Pick and they prices they post are the prices you pay.

FWIW, I went to checkout with the same seats on like four sites to compare total cost when I was purchasing and Tick Pick ended up being about $50 cheaper per seat than the others.
it really is a rip off...they are entitled to make a transaction cost 10-15 per ticket...but why are they allowed to get a % of the ticket price
there needs to be a class action like in the MLS lawsuit

The real scandal is that they charge it the first time and then charge it again on the re-listing. I buy concert tickets often and these fees are 2-3X what I usually see.

Blows my mind some nerd from Silicon Valley hasn't made a low cost ticketing app. $5-10 flat fee no matter what. It would put all these other sites out of business.

Has to be better than the old Garden. My father took me to see Russell vs Chamberlain and I had to lean sideways to see the other side of the court.
I don't think it's the software, I think it's the contracts... But I wish they would

No bad seat at TD. And the concession situation is phenomenal.
Yeah barely waited in any lines and the bathroom line moved well at halftime.

Good to hear. Haven't been to a Cs or Bs game since before Covid. Concerts are a mixed bag as they shut some concessions, but the bathrooms seem to be ok. I think the Bruins and Celtics almost always sell out, so the building isn't under-scoped on capacity.

Prices zooming. Paid 250 last night after game. Same ticket is 330 right now.
I know they will come down, but when?

I will say that, while I was too drunk and in too much a rush to get to my seat to really take them in, the bars and such along the concourses seemed really nice. Didn’t expect that at all.
In Boston, if you use valet, make sure it's actually valet.
Just use spot hero. I got a garage 10 min walk away for 20 bucks

There is actually enough parking both garage and surface lots. The challenge is that the roads around Boston Garden are an absolute maze of twisted one way streets and you can easily get turned around. Storrow Drive doesn’t help. Weather is nice Saturday so maybe park near government center.

TD is truly a great arena to watch basketball, any section up top that’s on the TV angle of the court is great. Don’t be scared by those awful seats XL has that go way too far up.
I sat in the ford sportszone for Thursday and it was pricy but pretty great, seating super roomy, bathrooms/bars with much shorter lines or none at all, and it even had a buffet included with a good range of food but not too many different items. If anyone is considering tickets and sees anything cheap there or the boxes, DO IT!

Pretty easy. Government Center garage is $25 (at new State Street Bank building and due to construction entrance can be tough to find) and Post Office Square garage which is a 15 to 20 minute walk is $9. There are other garages or lots close, but those are my go to lots.

The Haymarket Garage is also a good option. 5-10 minute walk to the Garden but far enough away that it's easy in and out. Note that the address of the garage says 136 Blacktone Street but the entrance is actually on the other side on Sudbury Street.
