hey mate, I was at a lakers game in Feb and sat 2 rows behind the lakers bench... I was there 1 hour early but you can't get close enough because of security, however if you hang out where the run through the tunnel you could get lucky I saw some ppl getting autographs of players... although Kobe pretty much no chance at all as he does his shootaround early before ppl are allowed in Staples, and doesn't come out until the whole team comes out for a brief shoot around then the game begins.

I think you would have a better chance at getting players to sign outside of LA and NY as they're pretty tough on security

this is how close I was (no Zoom)



this is where I sat, Gatorade chairs are the players



Stub Hub is the best, depending on your budget but i Recommend around 10 rows up in the middle of centre court for best viewing, I had these seats for a Clippers, Knicks, and Nets game The lakers seats were good but quite hard to see the other end of the court but a Bonus is that you get on TV lol





these seats were 13 rows up for the knicks game

Hi,Thanks for the info.Pictures look awesome.So there is no problem taking a camera in.Cheers Matt

na cameras are fine.. you do get searched though for weapons lol

So with a name like mine, I got no chance getting that close!

I've just used seatgeek.com to order tickets to LA vs Twolves and Pelicans...the site checks multiple sites, but I ended up buying through ticketsnow.com. Strangely enough, I got the Pelicans tickets 10% cheaper going through seatgeek than directly through ticketsnow (which is fully owned by ticketmaster). Picked up floor seats for the first game and centre court 17th row for the Pelicans for our family of four. Can't wait!!
