 Depressed Fan Field Trip This idea has been percolating for a while, and an e-mail frequent reader/commenter Dean sent me earlier tonight was the impetus to finally move on it. It's about time we got a crew together for a Sixers game. I'm looking at the Clippers game on Saturday, December 19th since it will be easier for more people to make it on a weekend (and there are only 2 weekend games all season). Details and options after the jump.
It looks like there are a couple of options. We could go for a balcony suite, which sits 18 and we may be able to get a deal on it. Or, we could go with a group ticket buy which would put our minimum at 20 people, but we'd probably be able to sit in the 100 level. Pretty nice seats. I'm inclined to go with the group buy, simply because balcony suites are up above the 200 level. The Sixers are offering pretty good deals for group buys, and I'll further subsidize the tickets with the meager ad revenue from Depressed Fan, so we're probably going to be talking somewhere between $20 and $25 for a floor-level seat to the game, if we can get a group together of 20 or more. If you're interested, leave a comment here. Also, let me know how serious you are. We've met up at games in the past and I think it would be great to get a bunch of us at The Wach together, taking over a 100-level section. Plus, they'll put our group name up on the scoreboard, which would rock. Check your calendars (and your wallets) and let me know ASAP if you're in. If there's enough interest, I'll get the tickets this week and we'll get to work on t-shirts or something to commemorate the occasion.

Hey, I cover the Sixers for PhinallyPhilly.com and I'd really love to come, I'm sure all the guys from Phinally would. Just let me know the details. Thanks!
I will be at the game but I think it is a nice send off on the last home game before the annual holiday trip. It should be rockin for a weekend night and a decent crowd. I will pay for my T-Shirt however. Wouldn't want to miss that !
i am LOLing at the prospect of seeing "Depressed Fan" on the scoreboard
Of course I am in, Brian.
That's a great idea, but I'm unreliable.
And for my two cents, if we can get center court tickets at the 200 level, I would think they would be better than 100 level tickets at either end.
And aren't you buds with Ed? Couldn't he get you a better deal?
It looks like the tickets will be in section 115. I'm just confirming with the Sixers now.
Count me in!
In fact, I might be good for 4 tix
That's great. I think there's enough interest at this point. I'm going to get the ball rolling.
Spots left?!?
Yeah, absolutely. I'm just gauging interest right now. When I reserve the seats, I'll put up a post with info on how to lock down your seats. Probably in the next day or two.
Count me in as well. Probably for more than one.
Great, I'll have more info in a couple of days.
