Heading over to the US in October and trying to buy tickets to an NBA pre-season game.
Lakers have a game in Anaheim on 23rd of October. Ticketmaster site says its on sale however I only get a message "The ticketing system is unavailable due to
routine maintenance" every time I log in.
Has anyone purchased tickets online from Australia before?
Thanks for any assistance
this may help.

Try emailing the Lakers PR person. They may be able to hook you up with good seats at a decent price...maybe even courtside. It worked for me.

Google coast to coast tickets.

Got to c the great Lebron James!

www.ticketmaster.com then click the relevant buttons!
The tickets usually left for us mere visitors (unless you are a zillionaire) are up in the nose bleed area but the atmosphere up there,though a little thin, is fantastic!
Not sure if you would be interested, but if the Clippers are playing around that time also well worth a look. We basically just turned up to their game and got seats almost on the courtside for quite reasonable price.
We picked our tickets up from The Staples when we got there no dramas (just need your passport/ID) but you need to be early (quite a crowd!)
Tip: If the Fox Sports Bar at the complex is still there it was great for a very tasty, HUGE (as only could be expected in America) meal at a good price.
Enjoy your trip!

I know this topic was from last year, but I have been trying all day through TicketMaster for a Clippers v Celtics game to be played on Feb 25. We'll be getting into LA that morning so I thought I'd buy in advance. The problem with TicketMaster is they require a USA address to register the Exchange purchase (ie. Buying the season tix of those ticket holders). I'll follow the suggestions above in order:
1. Coast to Coast tix
2. The Clippers PR (hope I have as much pull as KWest)
3. Lob up in the morning and play the dumb Aussie
Any fresher advice would be really appreciated

Hi, I too would like some advice. I'm looking to going to New York early March and want to catch the Warriors v Nets in Jersey. I'm a warriors fan so what's this about emailing PR about hook ups? Also I found this website stubhub.com where it seems people who have season passes must sell their tickets to games they don't want to go.
Any help would be great.
