  • Stubhub is probably the most popular site.

  • Just back from an epic trip. Went to the Lakers and Clippers. We used seatgeek.com and found that purchasing from highly rated members on eBay.com was much cheaper than the resale sites due to the fees. Ticketmaster.com and nba.com have authorised resale but they wack on massive fees. Make sure you buy electronic tickets so they can be emailed to you. On a side note, get a 28degreescard.com.au saved us a fortune on currency conversion fees and we carried around very little cash. Have a great time!

  • Stubhub works a treat, managed to tix to the finals (Game 3) in Miami last year an hour before the match at below cost price…

  • You can get the tickets at the arena. Normally there will be heaps of tickets available unless it is a very special game.

    Last time when I was in US, I simply walk up to the arena at the game time and bought the tickets there.

    • I was going to say the same thing but OP wants playoff tickets.

      • Well. Depending on the city I think. Last time I was in SLC in Utah and it was a playoff game versus "dont remember".. :P. Plenty of tickets at the door.

  • i used craigslist. just met them at the game. usually wait til the day and get them super cheap or use ticketmaster and get them at the door
