I know this my not be the proper forum for this post, but I hope you mods can cut me some slack since I'm looking for advice ASAP because I want to purchase tickets.
I'm looking to buy a couple tickets to one of the remaining games because I really want to take my 8yr old son to his first game. Times have been rough for a while so I have not been able to afford to go to a game in years. Not going to turn this into a sob story or anything, but I just want to say I am not one of those fans that claims they cant afford to go to a game when in reality they could if they really wanted to. Heck we can't even get cable/sat TV, which makes watching the games at home even difficult. I was so bummed when I came here the other day and Section 101 was offering a couple free tickets but I got here two hours too late. Doh! lol. That was still a great gesture Section 101.
Anyways, not looking for any handouts, just need your opinions. I'm debating on whether or not buy upper deck vs. lower. Upper deck is obviously more affordable and is probably the most logical choice. However, I'm worried that if we are so far away from the action that he might lose focus or get bored and not enjoy it as much. He's just now starting to like sports. He watches all the 49ers games with me at home and enjoys that, but we don't get to watch the Kings all that much due to no TV service. He's expressed interest to me in going to a Kings game so that excites me. But when we get a chance to watch the Kings at home he usually stops watching by halftime, although that could be due to the poor quality of the picture on the computer.
I'm probably shooting for the San Antonio game as it seems like that game has the cheapest tickets available. Lowest I have seen for lower level is $48 each, while the upper level around $15-$35++
So, what do you think? Like I said, I have not been able to go in years so maybe I'm making too big a deal out of the upper v.s lower level debate and that sitting in the upper level will be fine. I'm hoping just the buzz and excitement of the environment at the game will be enough for him. I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!
