Buy Cheap Sixers Tickets Through Liberty Ballers and TiqIQ

by Michael Levin on Dec 20, 2011 5:35 AM PST in Site Stuff

The SB Nation network struck up a deal with the ticket website TiqIQ at the end of last season to provide users with easy access to sports ticketing at our team-centered blogs. Unfortunately the season ended before we could hype up this pretty awesome tool to purchasing tickets. And now that new CEO Adam Aron has cut ticket prices like he's The Hound, it makes this partnership even AWESOMER.

Here's a quick rundown of the button you can find on the tabs near the top-right of your page.

Aggregated Listings: They combine listings from sites like StubHub, eBay, Ticketsnow and TicketNetwork so it's all in one place and you find the best price.
TiqZone Categorization: They break each venue up into TiqZones, which are groupings of sections that we’ve determined are similar in value. If you're reading this site, you're probably not sitting courtside. No offense.
TiqIQ Statistics: They provide ticket-level buying intelligence through their IQ rating and TiqIQ Statistics. Hence "IQ" in the name.
Jrue Holiday: Imagine how good he looks in person!

And with the tickets right here on Liberty Ballers, it'll be even easier to arrange a Liberty Ballers Night Out, which will not actually be sponsored by Marc Zumoff and potentially never happen in this reality. Definitely give it a look, poke around and see what you can find. We'll alert you to any deals we hear about over the course of the season.

On a somewhat related note, where does live basketball stack up against baseball, football, and hockey as a spectacle? How about NBA vs. NCAA in person? It's always been a money and distance issue for me not going to enough games but with the lower prices, it's hard to make that a reason now. You can go to the Sixers game by yourself for as much money as you could go to the movies with a date. Since we're all unlovable hermits here, I think you should go to the Sixers game solo. Meet you there!

IMHO 3rd.

I’d have to say that the sixers are about 3rd best in terms of going to a live game at a stadium. I have an equal love for all Philly teams and will have it until the day I am 6 feet under, but there’s just something about a warm summer night @ CBP that can’t be beat, and that’s at just about any stadium, I think the experience you get at that ballpark is one of the best, if not the best in the MLB. The eagles also narrowly edge out the sixers just because I prefer outdoor events, even in the blistering cold to an indoor event and I enjoy football a bit more than basketball. Following the sixers are flyers games and then the new team on the block, the Union.

I just got an email that I get a free sixers ticket for filling out that sixers suggestion thing.

Sounds good cause they free, shoot.

Won free Sixers ticket for suggestion at newsixersowner.com

Not trying to sound ungrateful, but this is a pretty useless ticket. It’s only good for Mezzanine nosebleed level seats, which is like watching the Sixers on a 25" CRT TV in Technicolor while inhaling the Rocky Mountain air of the Broncos. Not to mention the ticket is worth $15.00 while the parking costs $20.00.

I’ll be donating this ticket to charity (literally) and enjoying the sweet sounds of Zumoff on my 60" HDTV instead. Hey Adam Aron – how about lowering the price of a club box suite ticket?

I could go to the season opener if I could find a ride to Portland but I’ll pass & hang out at LibertyBallers

I think basketball is not as good in person as the other big three sports. I don’t know why.

"Great, I got that "excited/scared" feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it's more - It could be two - it could be 98% scared, 2% excited but that's what makes it so intense."

I used to go to games all the time when I was a kid. My stepfather had season tickets back in the Dr. J era, from about 76 to about 82, that I remember. Although that’s when I went off to college (OK, I didn’t actually “go” anywhere, I was at Temple, but I was in college and didn’t go to games with my stepfather anymore), so I don’t know after that.

Anyway, I used to love going to live games. And I’ve also been to a bunch of Temple games at McGonigle Hall and Liacouras Center. I’m planning on taking my son this year, so I can infect him with the Sixers fan disease I have suffered from lo, these many years.

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
