I have season tickets, but I also buy extra tickets to most games for clients, friends, and family. I always get them from the scalpers in front of the stadium. I always pay a fraction of face value. The few big games of the year like Cavs, and Lakers you can't do that but any other game you can. Take 10 minutes to talk to a few and haggle and I promise you will get good seats for cheap. I normally pay about 50% of face value for good weekend games, and 1/3 to 1/4 of face value for weekday games. You'll either find someone who doesn't normally sell who just wants to get rid of the the tickets fast, or a scalper that has 20+ tickets and they just need to get rid of a few for cheap.
