For the second time in three days, I witnessed an undefeated team defeat a Chicago team. First was the Titans defeated the Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday and second was the Atlanta Hawks defeating the Chicago Bulls 113-108 last night at the United Center to win their first 6 games of the season – their best start since the 1997-98 season.

Obtaining Tickets
When I attended NBA Opening Night two weeks ago, I bought about a dozen games for $10 each. Since the next price point above $10 is $40, it can sometimes be difficult to find a fan or scalper willing to sell their ticket for $10 or less. Thus, more often than not purchasing a $10 ticket ahead of time will save me money in the long run.

Last season I had to pay $20 occasionally because the face value of the ticket I was purchasing was $50 rather than $20 or $30. Since you can basically sit where you want in the upper deck of the United Center, paying more for a seat location is not worth it.
