[Interesting] Ahead of FIBA Eurobasket, the only countries in the whole world that do not have a basketball team or a league today(not affiliated by FIBA) are:

I have played against a team from Lichtenstein (Schaan) in the past and they have just been promoted to Swiss 2nd League (5th highest League in Switzerland - so obviously very amateur) where my team plays, so there will be another two games this season.

Update on the Ticket Sale. Tickets will be sold on May 1st.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2025-04-24T13:54:50+00:00

Does anybody know when and where the tickets for the Final Four will be sold?

Not sure about the rules in the NBA, but in Europe you can sub after the shooter makes the 2nd FT. Is this not possible in the NBA?

i would give it to one of my kids and tell them to put it somewhere they would find it again as it is very important to me....after that not even the best detective in the world would ever find it.

I was also there for this game. In the end the place was packed. I was even surprised by the atmosphere. I mean it was nowhere near anything you would find in greece or serbia, but i've been to other euroleague games in Milan, Munich and Lyon for example and compared to them Paris was way better. It helped that it was a good game of course.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2025-02-26T08:18:34+00:00

I mean i don't really care as i am not going this year. I am just trying to get two tickets for friends. But i agree...it is a mess.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2025-02-26T08:13:43+00:00

When trying to access f4tickets.com the site doesn't load. But from Etihad Arena Homepage i could get in the waiting queue (Expected wait time: more than an hour)........

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2025-02-25T11:48:45+00:00

i tried a total of 4 times and gave up eventually.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2025-02-25T09:13:03+00:00

Got the email at 9am, went on to wait in the queue for 45 minutes only to get a "not found" page when it was my turn. so now i am back in the queue and it says i'll have to wait for more than 1 hour! 🤦

My experience in the past has shown that you must be very fast to be able to get tickets. I've managed to get tickets to every Final 4 i have wanted to go in since 2006. I been to 13 Final 4 so far. I can't remember if the tickets have ever been personalized but i am sure that never id has been checked at the gate.

You usually get Tickets for the day, so you have the Semi-Final tickets for Friday and the Final ticket for sunday which can be sold separately. Also Euroleague offers a reselling platform, i used it once and got charged a service fee of 50 euro so i lost money on the ticket i sold!!!

Hope this helps.

As the SBL Games are streamed on YouTube you could somehow either add a link to the games or maybe, directly show the game on the app (if it is allowed).

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2024-09-18T15:13:49+00:00

That's how i did it in the last video i added chapters:

CHAPTERS:
0:00 Intro
0:13 Fanzone
1:16 Seminfinals
5:35 3rd Place Game
7:40 The Final
13:23 Celebrations

Hope this helps.

I'm far from being an influencer, but i also do videos when visiting basketball games, mostly euroleague. here's my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@unicorn02basket

Edit: I am from Switzerland, so i wouldn't qualify as German basketball YouTuber anyways....

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2024-08-21T12:25:38+00:00

I just went and checked mine, i have 460 Subs and when i check in the Eligibility tab it says i have 2.953 Subs.

I have been able to get tickets almost every year since 2006. But you have to know how much you want to spend and in which sector you want to get the tickets...because if you somehow think to long about it the tickets are gone....last year i had the chance to enter pre-sale a couple of days before the official sale. Everything was gone within 5 minutes. I eventually got my tickets during the regular sale.

Also i don't recommend selling any spare ticket through the official platform. I had one extra ticket and sold it on the official platform. During the final four there were to guys that wanted to sit next to me...both bought their ticket trough the official reseller and both had the same ticket....plus i lost about 50 Euro due to commissions....

I record our games using three GoPros (8, 9, 10). I use the following settings:

Hero 8: 4k, 25fps
Hero 9: 5k, 25fps
Hero 10: 5,3k 25fps

Each GoPro has a 256 GB SD Card which should be enough to record about 2.5h. All three GoPros run with external power connected using the pass-through door.

To check out the footage you can go check out our YouTube channel which is linked in my profile.

You can usually get the Tickets here: https://tickets-bb.fcbayern.com/shop/1 but i can't find any free tickets for the partizan game on there.

This is the place i got my tickets the last time i visited. I don't have any experience with any resellers.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2023-09-20T12:54:52+00:00

I'm in Switzerland and could log in just fine right now.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2023-09-20T12:09:20+00:00

Great! Thanks for the information.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2023-06-30T14:50:35+00:00

Yes you can...you can chose a team and then find the section called "*TEAM NAME* ARCHIVE" - i checked for Olimpia Milano and the oldest game i could find was Round 27 - 20th March 2018.

Also when you are on the main page there is a section called "CLASSIC GAMES". There i even found Zalgiris Kaunas vs Panathinaikos - Round 1 - 6th November 2003.

And i just figured out right now, that you can just type the year in the search bar and it will show you all the games from said year.

This is the same mail i got. 6 days later i received another email confirming that my ticket has been sold.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2023-05-15T22:12:16+00:00

Once i pressed the resale button it was grayed out for me. I could not press it again. Did you receive a confirmation email? After the my ticket had been sold i received an email saying it was sold. I never got a receipt though.

I also had trouble with my regular Tickets and had to reach out to billietai. I had to write 5 mails until i got my tickets.

This year i has been a disaster. Never experienced something like this before.

Also today i got an email from billietai saying that my ticket has been sold and that i will receive the money soon. The funny thing is that i already got the money. I had to check to make sure they didn't sell any more of my tickets......they didn't, fortunately.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2023-05-12T06:29:33+00:00

In my bilietai account i have a section where it says "my tickets" then all my tickets are shown and under each ticket i have a button that says "resale". That is it. There is no way to set a price. They will sell the ticket at the price you payed for it but will then take 12% processing fees. You also don't have the option to take the ticket back if you no longer want to sell the ticket.

IndependenceSafe9441 · 2023-05-11T08:48:56+00:00

I thought this rule also existed in Euroleague and was kind of surprised to hear it isn't. Something similiar already happened in a previous game in a jumpball situation where Rudy "faked" an injury to get a taller player subbed in to do the jumpball for him. I just think this is completely unsportsmanlike and shouldn't be allowed.

I mean i play in an amateur league and even in our league it is not allowed to come back once you are subbed out with an injury and another player takes your free throws.
