The Lakers & Celtics are two franchises making moves to try and maximize their window of opportunity in today’s NBA. While the two teams may be struggling to start the season, when the Lakers and Celtics play, fans are sure to enjoy a high-level of competition between the two teams.

Push the Button!

As a Lakers fan site, it’s our job to make sure Lakers fans are fully equipped with the latest news and information to make sure they know what they’re talking about. Today, we team up with TiqIQ.com to make sure Lakers fans in Boston can get in the game live to represent the  Lakers Nation.

There’s no special offer or what not, this is a straight up system where you make an offer for the tickets you want. Not many Lakers fans are brave enough to represent at a Boston Celtics home page, but most Lakers Nation fans are!

Right now, TiqIQ.com tells us that most $100+ seats, after shipping and handling of course, are going out the door for around $74. No more offers will be accepted after 7p est tomorrow, so get your butt up and represent Lakers Nation!
