You find Blazer tickets on SeatGeek. One listing is cheaper. Another costs a little more but has a higher Deal Score. So . . . which one should you buy?
I’m a huge Blazer fan, and I’ve used SeatGeek plenty of times to buy tickets. Deal Score is one of the features I like. It gives you a place to start when you’re staring at a bunch of listings and wondering which ones are worth a closer look.
But you still have to decide where you want to sit and how much you’re willing to spend. A tempting number can’t make that decision for you.
What Is SeatGeek Deal Score?
Deal Score is SeatGeek’s estimate of a ticket listing’s value. Scores run from 1 to 10, with higher numbers indicating a better deal. A 10 is among the strongest deals available on SeatGeek for that event.
According to SeatGeek’s explanation, the calculation considers factors such as historical prices, seat location, expected view and other tickets available for the event.
What Do the Green, Red and Blue Dots Mean?
| Color | What it means |
|---|---|
| Green | Generally a stronger deal. |
| Red | Generally a lower-value deal. |
| Blue | SeatGeek cannot calculate a Deal Score for that listing. |
That blue one matters. It doesn’t automatically mean the tickets are a lousy deal. SeatGeek may simply lack enough usable information to rate them.
Also, a map pin identifies the listing’s general section and row, rather than an exact seat number. Read the listing details. SeatGeek explains both points in its Deal Score help guide.
Does the Highest Deal Score Mean the Cheapest Blazers Tickets?
Nope. A better location can cost more and still offer good value. But if you’ve decided you’re spending $50 per person, a $100 ticket is still a $100 ticket. Even if the score looks fantastic.
Here’s a made-up example to show what I mean. These are sample numbers, not current SeatGeek listings or actual Deal Scores.
| Sample option | Total per ticket | Sample score |
|---|---|---|
| Upper-level seat | $35 | 7 |
| Lower-level seat | $80 | 9 |
Buying two? That’s $70 versus $160 before any parking, food or other expenses. The lower-level seats might be worth the extra $90 to you. Or you might be perfectly happy upstairs and keep the money. Both are reasonable choices.
How I’d Compare Tickets for a Blazer Game
Start with your budget. Decide what you’re comfortable spending for your whole group. It’s easy to talk yourself into a little upgrade . . . and then another little upgrade.
Compare the total price for the quantity you need. Two seats at a tempting per-ticket price can still stretch your budget. Check the final checkout amount before paying.
Look closely at the section and row. Consider the angle to the court, how high you’ll be sitting, and any view restrictions disclosed in the listing. Check a seat-view photo when one is available.
Use Deal Score to narrow the choices. Then compare the actual seats. Would you rather sit closer behind the basket or farther away near center court? That’s a personal preference.
Read the ticket details before buying. Check delivery information and any restrictions. Don’t assume a high score answers every question about the purchase.
Should You Wait for a Better Deal?
Waiting is a gamble. The tickets you want could get cheaper, sell, or become more expensive. If you’d be disappointed to miss the game, factor that into your decision.
I discuss the timing question separately in my last-minute ticket guide. Here, the goal is simpler: compare what’s available and choose something you’ll be happy with.
My Take on SeatGeek Deal Score
I like having a quick way to spot listings worth investigating. But I’d still check the view, the details and the total cost. You’re the one going to the game. Buy seats that make sense for you.
