Basketball - Orlando Magic

Am off to Florida in 6 weeks and am considering taking in a Basketball game while there. Have two options Lakers or Jazz. Am swaying towards Jazz as it is much cheaper.

Anyone else seen a game in Orlando? If so, how did you get tickets? It seems to be a bit of a minefield of Stubb Hubb type sites!

Any advice would be welcomed.

  • Email them direct and explain you are coming from the UK & it's always been a dream to watch Jazz. That's what I did with New York Knicks & they sorted me some tickets out

    Whoever you go to see make sure that you only go in for the last 30 seconds of the game. By doing so, you'll avoid the repetitive monotony of the preceding 2 and a half hours!!

    Room 101 it with NFL and Baseball (and popcorn at cinemas - still!).
  • The Lakers have one of the all-time greats in Kobe Bryant, Two big centres in Roy Hibberd and Carlos Boozer and two future stars of the league in Julius Randle & D'Angelo Russell.

    The Jazz have no real superstar, but a group of very good young players, led by Trey Burke, Dante Exum & Gordon Hayward.

    You pay your money and you take your choice. You'll enjoy it more if you read up on the tactics beforehand. Each club has a playing style, different formations, set plays, defensive tactics and attacking moves, just like a football team. The difference is, that it's so quick, it's often difficult to read.
  • Nice to see you had a good time. I had a season ticket there for 5 seasons after they moved from Hemel Hempstead, via the Crystal Palace Sports Centre, into the Copper Box in 2013, as part of the Olympic Legacy. It's a good arena to watch basketball. They have only ever filled it once, on the opening night in 2013 against Iowa State University, in an exhibition match, and only then by giving away loads of comps to the locals. Upstairs is a good view, but it is rarely open, only for International games.

    The London Lions have recently gone through an ownership change, and have a more ambitious programme this season, including a first season in the Basketball equivalent of the Europa League. All of their games are also streamed live, free of charge, on the BBL Player app.

    Nice to beat Leicester, and give them their first defeat of the regular season. They will probably meet each other in the Play Offs in May, hopefully in the final at the O2.
