The Detroit Pistons are taking their game to Orlando on Monday, April 9. The purpose of this post is to determine just how many DBB'ers might be interested in meeting up for the game in Orlando. More thoughts after this.
There are four real options for tickets at that game.
1. Lower bowl, sideline tickets: These are going to be 'spensive. They run for $135-$267. Yeah. That's a bit rich for my blood, but if EVERYONE else wants to do this, I might be convinced.
2. Lower bowl, behind the basket: These are bit more reasonable. They run $62-$135. Frankly, I've never much cared for these seats as I'd rather have a view from the side. But, again, if there's enough interest, we can go this direction.
3. Upper Deck club seats: These are a bit further away from the floor, but not nosebleed territory yet. They are $108 - $120
4. Upper deck seats: All upper deck seats are $36-$52, but there are still some at mid-court, so we'd definitely target those first.
I'm going to put a poll below to gauge which section of the arena has the most interest. If you voted, please make a comment and let me know how many are in your group (spouses/significant others/family/friends). I'll work with everyone interested in attending regarding payment details and meeting spot before the game.
I don't want this process to run on too long, so I'm going to end the poll on Tuesday, February 21. We'll see how many people want to come and where we're going to sit at that time. If we get more than 20 tickets, I'll need to deal with the Magic directly as this falls under "Group Seating". I don't know if that will increase or decrease seating prices, but I'll update the fanpost with any pertinent info.

I'm 100% there
and will paypal you ahead of time (by the 21st) for the lower bowl, sideline. If I do that, it’ll be me alone, because my wife will argue that the $135 – $267 is better spent on clothing for her :) annnd she’s probably right.
If there’s any questions or financial hangups for anyone, I’m just as happy with nosebleeds. In fact, having already voted, I think that might even be a better idea. If we do the upper deck nosebleeds, it’ll be me +1. But big Z, if you want to shoot for the sideline tickets, I’m in.
Bugman22, Soufpaw, you fellas in?
Ok
Mike, based on your comments I’m going to change your vote to Upper Deck.
We’ll see where this thing takes us. I think we have enough time that everyone interested should be able to see this fanpost and work out payment issues with me before hand.
So far we’ve got 5. MFMP + wife, and Big Z + wife & Dad. Hopefully we’ll get a few more takers.

YO DAWG
I heard you like the Detroit Pistons. So, I’m planning to put some Piston’s tickets in your basketball hands.
CHECK YOUR EMAIL MFMP.

Ha!
Well, I’m bigger than my dad, so that won’t work. But my wife is pregnant, so maybe:
Big Z, wifey Z, pre-Z, and… the Big Z maker?

I'm in.
I voted for cheap seats, but preferably decent mid-court type stuff. I’d rather pay extra for good seats than go cheap and get crap.
Also, I don’t have Paypal or anything so I will have to send somebody a check.
And, I am TOTALLY excited for this!
My federal building is way cooler than your federal building.
No problemo
Money isn’t going to stop this train from rollin’. We’ll figure it out.
If the Upper Deck seats win out, then we’ll definitely be at mid-court, and not on the end. I’ll look for seats as close the front of the Upper deck as possible.

I fully expect someone to bring a sign saying, “BLOCKS AND DUNKS. BRING THEM TO US.”

Not a bad idea if we end up courtside
It will have to be a damn big sign if we end up in the upper deck.

if it weren't a Monday
I’d try really hard to get a flight to Orlando for this. ONE DAY. Take pictures and red pandas to share with the group after the game
That's a lot of pressure
I’m not sure I can handle that.
EVENT CANCELLED

Sure
But, it’s going to have to be against the Tigers. And as a White Sox’s fan, you’re going to be too depressed to watch baseball by June 28 anyway.
