I guess Chesapeake and Devon beat you to the good seats. Just like everyone else they don't know what to spend their money on since there's no regular basketball right now. LOL

you should've kept checking. i specifically got some in the 400 corners, but after that was playing around and was able to pull up some good pairs in the 300s center 15 minutes after noon.

Should be fun... did it sell out?

It's a smaller venue than the Chesapeake Arena. I was told that any seat would be a great seat. For the tennis invitational that was there a few weeks ago, the 300s sections was towards the back of the lower section.

9,200 of the 13,400 tickets are sold already:http://newsok.com/9215-tickets-sold-...adlines_widget

Apparently there were some problems selling the tickets today that made sections seem sold out when they weren't yet. I'd re-check if you searched for specific tickets unsuccessfully. Lastly, my buddy bought a $29 ticket and said he was charged $13 for fees which made it $42. That's crap.

I was just able to buy tickets in the 2nd tier....I think....based on the seating chart I pulled up for hockey. From what I heard, in Miami tickets sold for 10x their value once they sold out, so I'm happy to have paid face value, even with the fees. I think it will be a fun performance, ala the All Star game.

I was in 210 for the tennis classic which was very close adn good price for what I paid. my gripe was that there was nothing good right as they went on sale. I did check back later on a found some 300 corner seats but by then I was turned off. Especially since the $89 quickly turned to $107 after "fees".

Just read on ESPN that Griffin is not playing. He got a cut on his foot while swimming in the ocean.

So I suppose Lebron takes Griffin's spot as Durant's opposing captain?

I guess the reef sided with the owners.

Some other great players were announced today. This is easily the best exhibition of the offseason. OKC is so lucky to have an ambassador like KD. I hope people don't take this for granted. This might be the best collection of talent OKC will ever see...

Can't wait!

I'm gonna pick Kevin Durant's team.

[dmoor82]

^^LBJ and KD on the same team,yea I'm pickin' them too!

[MDot]

I also had no clue Monta Ellis was playing. Is he a replacement for Blake Griffin?

[betts]

It was pretty fun. Thunder players did well. They kind of stacked the deck by putting LeBron and KD on the same team, in addition to RWO, but the other team was scrappy. Chris Paul was demonstrably more of a point guard than Russell. James harden played well. There were, of course, some great dunks and Chris Paul was passing ala Steve Nash. Obviously the drama of a regular game was missing, but it was fun.

[inquisitive_mind]

Michael Beasley played extremely well...he was probably upset that he had to move from Team White to Team Blue due to players not showing up. I'm kind of disappointed about that. It would have been great to see Amare Stoudemire. Other than that, it was a great event all around. The hype man was pretty entertaining and the music wasn't that bad. Definitely a distraction from the Sooners' loss and a good event for Oklahoma City.

great game tonight i wish they do more of those games in OKC if the lockout continues
