Welcome fellow Cavaliers fan!
As you know, finding great Cavaliers Tickets is probably the hardest part of being a Cavaliers supporter, but here you will find information on how to obtain 'hard to get' and 'sold out' tickets.
2008-09 Cavaliers
The Cavaliers lost in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals in the 07-08 season and if star player Lebron James has anything to do with it, the team will be contention for the 2008-09 Finals. The team traded Damon Jones and Joe Smith for Point Guard Mo Williams and together with Lebron, will surprise and excite Cleveland Cavalier fans all the way to the finals.
Previous Seasons
Lebron James is ruining everything. Just ask anyone who has ever bought Cleveland Cavalier tickets before 2003. Times were that a guy could get his Cavs tickets as he walked up to Gund Arena. Before James arrived, there were so many spare tickets people used them as needed: bookmarks, spatulas, golf ball markers, kindling, business cards…what have you. Then Lebron showed up, and the same Cleveland Cavalier ticket that once was perfect for on-the-go flossing suddenly developed some value. Yes, there’s trouble in this city by the lake, and it’s all Lebron’s fault.
If the only way for James to pay back the good people of Cleveland is bring them an NBA Championship, he is well on his way. The Cavaliers are on the fast-track to the top of the NBA. Rising stars Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden have merged with Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Eric Snow to create a mix of young and old that compliments the talents of the young All-Star. James looks to begin his restitution by turning those scarce tickets into NBA Playoff tickets this year.
Ah…The good old days. Nate Thurmond and Austin Carr, and Bingo Smith…Mark Price, Larry Lance, and Brad Daugherty. What other franchise in the NBA can lay claim to such an array of big names? What other franchise would want to? But the thing is Cleveland won with these teams. Thurmond, Carr and Smith took the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference finals in 1975, and Cleveland was a perennial playoff team in the 1970s.
Price, Lance, and Daugherty returned the Cavs to the Eastern Conference finals in 1992, and only missed the playoffs twice in the period between 1988 and 1998. How many teams can say that? Were it not for Michael Jordan, Cleveland likely would have risen to the apex of the NBA in the early 90’s. Instead they steadily veered towards mediocrity. By 2000, the Cav’s epitomized everything lousy about the NBA. They had no stars, they couldn’t shoot, and suddenly tickets were available for any purpose imaginable.
Enter Lebron James. Suddenly people started using Cleveland Cavalier tickets for actual admittance to Cleveland Cavalier games. And those who did so were well rewarded, as James proved every bit as precocious as hoped. Now Cleveland Cavalier tickets are nowhere to be found. James has elevated the Cavs to the top of the NBA, and every night he seems to raise his game a little higher. It won’t be long until Cleveland Cavalier tickets don’t just get people into Gund Arena. They will get folks into the NBA Finals. |
