Hello all my handle as you can see is snoopyd^^ however if you get to know me you can learn my real name, firstly hi, I am new to this forum (but I can also be seen on the forum at www.Gopetslive.com, this is actually a cool multi lingual family site build by foreigners in korea and has 3d virtual pets, the forum there also rocks^^ if you join please use my refereal code^^ www.gopetslive.com/inviter?snoopyd ...this is also the reason why I have a frog hat^^
I have been working here in Korea in one job or another since 1994 so I know the landscape pretty well, secondly the company I am working for here in Korea has a major basketball event commin up in Korea, so since most of my teacher friend have no money (too much darn travelling^^) I though I would offer the teachers here in Korea the opportunity for group discouted tickets direct from our offce^^ Just send Robin a mail am he will sort you out...

Compaired to Jap and and China the Korea games are cheap... Only the Premium seats are expensive and according to the ticket reservations 70% of them are gone for the US games...
The Japan games sold out in 10 mins, China in 24 hours^^ and their prices were 3 times higher  in china the cheapest seats were $60 ..Korea they are $10 ..i dont think that is expensive ..if you are talking about the court side ones, then sure they are never cheap^^
The reason the price for the premium seats is high is because the team airfares and invitation fees are pretty steep so there is no way around it,  , but you can eaisly get seats for like 10 bucks on the third floor and the stadium capaity is only 10,000 so they are still pretty good seats^^ :wink
So I am sorry it you feel that some of the seats prices are steep, but with out those tickets we would not be able to afford the teams and belive me we tried to give the best price possible, but we have to cover the costs.^^ |

Kobe isn't coming to play--knee surgery. Apparently he may be travelling with the team, so he might be on the bench. 12 of these 15 will be playing:
Players named as finalists include: Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets); Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards); Shane Battier (Houston Rockets); Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors); Bruce Bowen (San Antonio Spurs); Elton Brand (Los Angeles Clippers); Kirk Hinrich (Chicago Bulls); Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic); LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers); Antawn Jamison (Washington Wizards); Joe Johnson (Atlanta Hawks); Brad Miller (Sacramento Kings); Chris Paul (New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets); Amar� Stoudemire (Phoenix Suns); and Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat). |

The team has been totally revamped, and all members have had to make a long term commitment to play through until the next olympics, and ...so the up shot is they are all geared up to win starting with the Champs in Japan ..if they dont lot the s^^ shall hit the fan^^ |

Most of our stock of discounted tickets are gone, and I think the discounted USO tickets are almost gone, however You can buy tickets at sports ticket in Korea they have tickets for the US games although some of these are pretty steep there are $60 or $70 tickets around about area 15 then you can also ask them for cheap seats up the top^^
