(If you do the sneak-down trick it helps if you encumber yourself with an armload of snacks and drinks.) I know the first-of-the-month thing has been around since the 09-10 season, because I had a similar “What do you mean there’s no $5 seats?” moment.

All you have to do is choose an entrance attended by a slacker Grizz employee. Just look for one who isn't actively looking at ticket stubs as folks reenter. It also helps if they are talking to someone. Then just slide right in. Of course, you need to look like you know what you're doing.

I swear this is the first time I have ever heard of that. Maybe we just always came to a game around the first of the month and it was never an issue and we were just wonderfully oblivious. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. Granny is trying to play catch-up over here. Has it always been this way, with the first of the month thing? I swear this is the first time I have ever heard of that.

Now that the Grizzlies are a hotter ticket the chances of being able to score one on gameday are slimmer (scalpers are no doubt partially responsible). Next time — if you really want to save some $$$ — bring cash and buy from a scalper. Get there close to tipoff and you can get good seats for cheap because they'll be trying to cut their losses.
