Preseason NBA at CLINK
On Oct 20
Chicago will play Atlanta.
Last exhibition game of the year so probably a lot of the "talent" plays most if the game
Bet it sells out!

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Doug McDermott's return to the CLink would be a hot ticket regardless, but against Kyle Korver's team? Yeah, that'll sell out quick.nebugeater wrote:On Oct 20

Could you imagine an Avalanche vs Blackhawks game at the CLink?jag42 wrote:Would love to see NHL preseason games in Omaha.

Would prefer the Blues as one of the teams . Blues played Atlanta (Now the Winnipeg Jets 2.0) in Lincoln in 2000 or so.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Looks like 11 sections are already sold out.
Bought my 4 tickets....can't wait. Might end up selling 2 of them and maybe make enough to pay for all of them.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Understanding this game has our local CU fan base draw of Korver vs McDermott.. I'd say if the game can draw 12,000 plus, it would be a huge success.. Especially for an NBA preseason game...

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Anybody else surprised there are still so many tickets left. With the 2 CU players I thought it would sell out quickly.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Looks like the lower bowl only has a few single seats left and the upper sides are mostly sold out as well. All that is really left is the upper ends in the last few rows. I expect this to be sold out within two weeks.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
I am a little. I bought 2 extra tickets with my CU promo code and hoped to sell. The good news is that the cheapest tickets on stub hub are around $48, which is more than $10 I paid for my cheap seats. With Lincoln selling out in 2 hrs last year, I was thinking this would be similar. I am sure that it will sell out, but I am a little surprised.Greg S wrote:Anybody else surprised there are still so many tickets left. With the 2 CU players I thought it would sell out quickly.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
And it wouldn't surprise me if those tickets were taken by folks who will decide to go like a week before the game (if there are any tickets left). Also, there are around 3,000 more tickets to sell in the CLink than the Prison Bunk Arena. Plus, maybe the novelty factor isn't as high, given some of the events that happen within the City?cp jay 07 wrote:Looks like the lower bowl only has a few single seats left and the upper sides are mostly sold out as well.

Overall, not worried about attendance. It'll sell very well. We're over 2 months away from the event anyways.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Yeah for CU fans, I thought it was a dream match up with it being Korver and McD. I'm sure it will sell out eventually, just thought it would be in hours or days, not weeks.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Looks like there are less than 1,000 tickets left according to ticketmaster. With only one month to go, hopefully they start selling some more as the game nears.
Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
I would have thought it would have sold out a while ago.

I agreed with this post. Thought a August sell out was inevitable.

Still around 500-600 tickets left. I am trying to sell two of mine in sec 216 Row C, Seats 3-4 if anyone is interested. Looking for $45 each.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Which means roughly 17,000 in attendance if everyone who bought tickets shows up (I can't imagine them not doing so with the prices...). Good showing.skinzfan23 wrote:Looks like around 300 tickets still available.

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
Yeah, much better than the only other preseason NBA at the CLink when the Timberwolves played host to the Hawks in 2004. Kevin Garnett scored 17 pts in front of only 12,350. Granted that capacity was only 15,500 at the time.MadMartin8 wrote:

Re: Preseason NBA at CLINK
I stand corrected the T-Wolves also played a game in 2006 vs the Detroit Pistons. There were 11,555 in attendance for that game.

Less than 100 tickets remaining. Pretty sure we can finally say this is going to be sold out.
