You'd be very lucky to get any kind of ticket. The season ticket holders have first choice of the remaining single game tickets on September 27th, then on October 2 the general public is offered if any are left.

There is a waiting list to buy season tickets, one of only 4 teams in the NBA to have a 'waiting' list.......

The do reserve 200 game day tickets in Loud City for each regular season game so there is a chance to go at regular price.

I hope he's showing off his championship rings with the Thunder in that last pic.

A local photojournalist named Garett Fisbeck has started a nice (photo) blog.

The latest entry is Thunder Media Day, with some good shots from that. For example:


There's also some great boxing and high school football photos as well.

Looks like an interesting blog to keep a watch on.

Can't wait 'till October 16th. First pre-season game. I will be in Loud City that night and opening night November 2nd.

I need to get tickets to their two games up here in Denver, single game tickets don't go on sale until the 20th.

Watched the game against the Rockets the other night. Westbrook was great. Did not see the Utah game last night but with Westbrook sitting, we were down by almost 20 by halftime against a Middle-of-the-pack team. Just goes to show you how valuable Westbrook is to this team. Guest this could be a message to all the critics and naysayers.

I see the preseason game against PHX is a sellout at the BOK in Tulsa. It will be the highest attended event at that venue for any event, 18,233.

I can't believe OKC sold out a preseason game against the Bobcats. That is literally the worst possible home game... still sold out. The Thunder brand has grownn so much. I remember going to decent games the first and second seasons where there were a couple thousand empty seats (depite what official attendance might say)... not any more.

there were way more than a couple of thousand empty seats for the bobcats .. game ... all tickets were sold .. not all were used

Thunder on NBA TV, none other than former Sooner Stacy King announcing the game.

[dankrutka]

Ibaka looked great tonight! He really showed the full offensive arsenal - 18 ft jumper, aggressive drives, ran the floor, and hit a corner 3. Harden had a rough shooting night, but he hasn't played much either. He did have 7 boards, 7 assists, and got to the line. Good players still effect the game even on bad shooting nights. Thabeet showed a pulse, which is, well, something. Can't wait for the game in Wichita tomorrow!!!

[OKCisOK4me]

I heard Ibaka had a nasty dunk...

[MonkeesFan]

James Harden turned down a 4 year 52 million deal, he wants the max contract worth 60 million over 4 years, he is not worth the max, they should let Harden go

[Hawk405359]

If he can get a max contract and a starting roster spot, then he should go for it by all means. I think this is just testing the water to see if there's a team willing to pay him a lot more than he can get in OKC when he enters free-agency.
