Celtics Open Practice

(Score 1 – 100) — 66. This is a benefit that is given to Celtic season ticket holders prior to the preseason games. You get to see the celtics in an actual practice at the Garden. It is a unique perspective because there is no sound during practice in the TDGarden, ie. music etc. so it is super quiet. You can hear Rondo calling out the plays and the actual dialogue of what the players yell during a game. So much of the game is muffled by the back ground noise during an actual game that you miss how much the players actual interact with each other. I recommend seeing it at least once but some might find it boring due to the fact it is hard core basketball.

This is the first year we purchased season tickets to the Celtics. One of the complimentary items with you season package you receive, is two tickets to the Celtics Fanfest and Open Practice.
Writing this review so one is able to decide if it is worth it to them to go and check this out.
Held on a Sunday at 11:30 AM, you are able to go to the Garden and view the Celtics practice for an hour. You get a voucher for food and the Celtics Dancers pass them out to the fans, there is face painting and balloons and seating is General Admission.
Anyone is able to buy tickets through a broker but they are limited.
Everyone starts lining up at 11:00 at the main escalator. Right at 11:30 people started stampeding upstairs… there is no need… the seats that are considered «premium» were not even completely filled… You just sat where you wanted. If you got up… your seat was gone.
Great way to see the team up close… everyone is introduced and you just watch them free throw and play a few rounds.
I thought it would be so much more, maybe like tricks or the little guy dressed as a leprechaun flying through the air on a trampoline… no prizes or giveaways as I was told.
I left, happy as it wasn’t too long, not too short… and they fed me…
Yet, I just wish it was a bit more, I guess planned??? It honestly seemed as if everyone there was hungover and wanted to go home
So if you have the tix for free… great pic opps
I wouldn’t recommend buying them… save the money for a game
