Last night my friend and I went to see the Suns playoff game. We got courtside seats, row 3. This was both of our first times being courtside. So like going to any event, we walk in and we proceed to our seats. My friend is asking, do you want to get food before we get to our seats. Little did we know...
We get to our seats and we don't have our wristbands, so we walk back up the tunnel to get them and the lady says, the Ultra Club is just behind your seats. Umm ok. We walk into the Ultra club and it basically looks like a buffet restaurant. But there is no cashier. So we are wondering, is all this free? And yes it was, even the alcohol is free!
I'm so glad we didn't get food before we sat down!
So below is us getting our steak and tacos. They had every kind of food there, pizza, sandwiches, pasta, desserts, ice cream, snacks, etc...

They even had clams, mussels, crabs and lobster!

I cannot stress how big of a game changer this was. I was able to go use the bathroom during timeouts and make it back to the seat before the game restarted. Whenever I wanted a snack, I just walked around 50 feet from my seat and just grabbed a Coke and a cookie. It was like being at home walking to the kitchen during any game stoppage. Then during half time instead of sitting in our seats, we just sat at a table in the club and munched on food.
In this photo you can see how close the court and this club was. For reference the two people standing in the tunnel about 10 feet behind our seats in the third row!

So why I am posting this here? Well it's because of this conversation we had with a couple sitting next to us in this buffet.
The lady was telling us that they have season tickets and that she doesn't even cook dinner because they just come here just eat 40 times a year. Imagine you're like, what should we do for dinner. I don't know, is there a game tonight? Let's just go to the game and eat.
That is some FU money. It was kind of motivating for me!
Also as an FYI, rows 3 and 2 courtside and basically the same. Row 1 is exponentially better. That's my next goal.
Once you go courtside, there's no going back to the nosebleeds.
I had courtside seats this year when Phoenix visited Utah, as well as an earlier Utah game. The wife and I were sitting next to Phoenix's assistant coach (dont know his name) and we could hear the players talk, in the huddle; it was like we were with the team traveling. The wife even got some fist bumps from Bizzy Biyombo. I think the tickets cost nearly $1.5K, but it was worth every penny.
These types of experiences were bought by money and it was more evidence that anyone who says, "money doesn't buy happiness" is either full of shit, or a broke loser who has given up.
Private entrance, private dinner, private bathroom, what's not to like? Don't be misled by the mediocrity gurus selling you a pile of shit; abstinence, settling for less, demand less, etc.
Have you ever flown by private jet?
While I don't travel a lot, that's my next experience. I imagine it is Courtside Seats X 10.
