How to watch a Boston Celtics NBA game?

Visiting Boston, Massachusetts? To make sure you don’t miss out on any of the must-sees, take in a Boston Celtics NBA game!

The oldest basketball franchise in the NBA – founded on June 6, 1946 – the Boston Celtics are the most successful team in the history of the NBA (National Basketball Association), with 17 national championships and an impressive record: in 1957, the Celtics recorded their first victory, then went undefeated eight times in a row between 1959 and 1966. They won again in 1968 and 1969, twice in the 1970s and three times in the 1980s, before experiencing a relative decline, with their most recent success coming in 2008. The biggest rivals of the famous Los Angeles Lakers – a stronghold of the famous Shaquille O’Neal, with whom they won most of their titles between 1997 and 2004, and who also played for the Boston Celtics in 2010-2011 – they are one of the greatest basketball franchises in the history of the NBA.

If you’re visiting Boston, then seeing a Celtics NBA game is a must, as basketball is also an integral part of American culture! Would you like to see a Celtics NBA game at Boston’s TD Garden stadium – a multi-sports complex with a capacity of 18,624 in basketball configuration? Here’s how to get there.

The Boston Celtics are, in the United States and among all basketball fans, a mythical NBA team. The 70th NBA season ran from October 16, 2018 to April 13, 2019, when the NBA Playoffs, an elimination phase bringing together teams from the two conferences – Eastern Conference and Western Conference – qualified at the end of the regular season, began on April 10, 2019. The Boston Celtics team made it all the way to the Eastern Conference semi-finals, falling 4-1 to the Milwaukee Bucks to finish 4th in the Eastern Conference championship.

When to see a Boston Celtics NBA game? Well, for the 2019-2020 season, you’ll certainly have to wait until mid-August before checking out the game schedule. But the 2019-2020 season promises to be full of twists and turns (no balls…), and you can be sure that many games will be held at Boston’s TD Garden stadium. The start of the regular season is scheduled for mid-October 2019. If the Boston Celtics often find themselves in the Playoff picture, jump at the chance as soon as you see a game being played, because you never know what the next season will be like.

It’s a shame to visit Boston without seeing a Boston Celtics NBA game, especially if you love the sport. But to make sure you don’t miss out, you’ll need to book your tickets as early as August in order to secure a seat: the Celtics are an iconic NBA team, and stadiums seating 17,000 or 18,000 promise to be sold out (or else the price is likely to rise sharply if you book late). Whether you want to see a non-stars game in the preseason, during the regular season or attend an NBA game in the Playoffs, here are four websites where you can book your tickets online:

• Super Tickets,
• Ticketsnow,
• Ticketmaster,
• TD Garden official website.

On Super Tickets, we actually see that tickets are scheduled for any Boston Celtics NBA game during the upcoming 2019-2020 regular season. This ticket is for a game taking place on November 1, 2019 at home, at the TD Garden, but we can’t at this time (June 2019) make the reservation. It is possible/recommended to subscribe to a newsletter in order to receive an e-mail in August, when the ticket office will be open.

How much does a Boston Celtics NBA game cost in detail? On the one hand, ticket prices vary according to the game and the stakes involved in the championship, but they also depend on the seat you choose. If you’re not really a basketball fan, but just want to enjoy the atmosphere, you can buy tickets for a pre-season game: the players will be more relaxed, as there’s less at stake than during the Playoffs phase. You’ll get more dunking and dribbling action! Tickets are also cheaper, but it’s worth noting that stars rarely play preseason games, no doubt to avoid injuries in anticipation of the regular season.

In pre-season, expect to pay between $30 and $80 to see a game. In the regular season, you’ll find tickets starting at $80, but you’ll be seated high up and won’t see much of the players (large suspended screens show the game). If you want to be right up front, at the players’ feet, tickets can cost upwards of $1,000, and this kind of seat is hard to come by, as it’s prized by V.I.P. fans, who often get access before anyone else.
