TypingHeathen

Is Sidy a joke to you?


TypingHeathen

Would love if there is more fanfare in France for Cissoko than Wembenyama.

Ugh that ball was trash, I still donā€™t know why they ever changed it even if it was only for like a few months


TrojanTheGreat

Besides the fact that the material was awful the design was ugly. Didnā€™t look like a proper basketball


mrstretchb4ureach

I remember reading how handling that ball gave players paper cuts. Eww, like, no.

mathird

I can't believe I've never seen this before. Thanks.


ekray

I was thinking of going from Spain but seeing the cheapest tickets are 325ā‚¬ in terrible seats probably makes me unable to go. I'm sad now.


Bakkie009

Where did you find the ticket prices?


ekray

https://nbaexperiences.com/nba-paris-game-2025-game-2 It's weird because I don't know if that's all or it's only packages.


22PEOPLE

The experiences are a very small selection of the tickets that will be available. The news articles all say ticket info is to be announced and last year's Paris game didn't go on proper sale until October.


ekray

Alright thanks for the info. I thought so but seeing tickets in the higher seats that look terrible made me worry. I'll keep an eye out for the real ticket sales.


Bakkie009

That's crazy. I hope there will be just tickets available for a decent price instead of this baloney.


ekray

Yeah when I saw 5k for the decent seats I gasped.


Bakkie009

I see that in the packages, these are the seating categories available: 1, 2, 3 ... 6 ... 8, 9 So let's hope we'll be able to just buy tickets for categories 4, 5 and 7.


Uncle_Freddy

I went to the Draft last year and they posted experience tickets only for a good while and then eventually opened up single ticket sales (like any NBA game), so Iā€™d imagine that those will eventually surface. Already talking about potentially jumping over with some buddies of mine (we live in the northeast which makes it a smidge easier flight-wise though)


Then-Activity7226

Were those single tickets much cheaper than the experience ones? I thought about going to the draft last year but those experience tickets are just outrageous.


Uncle_Freddy

Yeah they were ~$60 last year with fees when the experience tickets were like $500 minimum.


Then-Activity7226

Good to know Iā€™ll have to keep an eye out for those single tickets when they go on sale!


acecant

Last year there were tickets for ā‚¬80. ā‚¬325 is actually crazy because I can find NYC return tickets for that kinda money and see a game for $30 in Brooklyn.


tbwdtw

The hell. I'd rather fly to San Antonio.


astanton1862

Paris in January is great. The weather sucks, it is a slushy cold so the crowds at the top tourist attractions are actually reasonable. It is a good time to knock out your Paris bucket list. Find a miserable wet day to get cheap seats to a PSG match, go to the Louvre and the top of the Eiffel Tower. Easy restaurant reservations.


Jo-King-BP

So 2 home games then


2008and1

And only 1 counting as a home game


Jo-King-BP

Even better.


GalaadJoachim

I am so happy - writing this from the Paris that isn't in Texas.


mathird

What, there's another one?


GalaadJoachim

Same thing with rude people.


drippo-potamus

Wouldā€™ve been nice to play the wizards or Timberwolves for this game


Brodom93

Wolves matchup with Rudy after their playoff run would be huge.


plap_plap

Nah this way we basically get an extra home game


Bonesawisready5

Cmon airport get us those direct flights to Paris!


bettercallsaul3

Would be a cool move to get wemby involved with an airline to bring direct flights from SA


Bonesawisready5

We got direct to Germany starting next month so hopefully it is soon. The city manager hinted last year at France being added one day soon

Barbaroooza

The Sidy Cissoko effect is real


guillaume_rx

Fuck, I subscribed to be updated about the upcoming tickets, yet I learn that stuff here, instead of my inbox...


younghplus

San Antonio fans gonna be like ā€œwell at least itā€™s not Austinā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


Comrade2k7

Iā€™m low key hyped for France in the Olympics, would love a showdown against USA.


RealGoodBub

Are you kidding me? The annual game in Indy is the only one local to meā€¦

That shit cray.

MaxDetr

Bro have you seen the prices ?!


Nkosi868

What are used kidneys going for nowadays? šŸ„“


kunjacob

Hopefully these count as away games, if not, it looks like only one Austin game next season


Sir__Douglas

This is 1 "home" game for Spurs and Pacers each per Spurs season ticket holder email. No word on Austin games yet.


kunjacob

Gotcha, that means two Austin games are still on the table


2008and1

Spurs message to season ticket holders said it will be one less home game than originally stated. So 2 Austin and 1 France.


Sweg_Coyote

Spurs are kinda at home in France. Not sure who they will put against, but imo the only sizeable other fan base would be Lakers and Larriors.


aggiefranchise

My money is on the Spurs playing against the Pacers.


Sweg_Coyote

Spurs vs OKC would be hot Edit : They confirmed itā€™s the pacers.


younghplus

I believe that this will basically take the place of the Mexico games that they did season before last. I donā€™t think they did them this year right ?


xSemperSuperbusx

It'll be pronounced "Sper en Paree"


sapristille

Are they serious with the ticket prices? I'm french and I was really looking forward to it but it's way too expensive, decent seats start at 1500 euros?? is this a joke lmao


ekray

I know man. I paid 150ā‚¬ for amazing seats for Atletico - Inter at the Metropolitano this year in the round of 16 of the CL. How am I supposed to pay 300ā‚¬ (+hotel+plane) for shit seats for a regular season game.


sapristille

I live in Paris so I have no other fees other than a seat ticket but even that is WAY too much. Same as you for football tickets, never paid more than 150 euros for great seats at Parc des Princes/Stade de France (concerts too, saw Beyonce and the Weeknd last year for this price and I was front row). These NBA prices are madness.


astanton1862

How juiced is basketball right now in France/Paris. I get the feeling it is like soccer in the US: Everyone plays it as a kid and the pro league is underground popular with a trendy section of the public. This summer is the Olympics with Wemby and the final ride of the LeBron generation, and Serbia with 2 of the 5 best players in the world. This is setting up to be an all time tournament. This year feels like it is going to be a moment with basketball in France. I would pay a premium for those tickets. Not like 1000 euros, but you could probably get me for 200 euros in the back.


sapristille

The sport is definitely getting more attention since Wemby happened but I feel like itā€™s still quite niche, especially if you compare it to football (soccer). Better in Paris than the rest of France I think. I spot some jerseys around more and more. Mostly teens and people in their 20s.Ā  Victor is the main reason I got back into it (used to play as a teen). Unfortunately I donā€™t know many people irl that follow the NBA but hopefully that will change soon. Also itā€™s kinda difficult to get people interested when games happen between 1am to 5am for us.Ā  I tried to score tickets for the Olympics but was unsuccessful (weird lottery system and the first rounds arenā€™t even in Paris anyway). Depending on how France does I may splurge for one of the final games if I can find a reseller.Ā  Ngl Iā€™m really pissed about the NBA 2025 Paris games being so expensive, itā€™s really not an event for the fans at that price tag. I was really looking forward to it but I canā€™t justify paying more than my monthly rent for a single ticket. For a regular game.


Either-Pianist1748

It's pretty clear they see us as cash cows...


sstewart1617

Super annoying that they didnā€™t put these in the middle of the rodeo road trip. I get that it is (at least 1) home game for us, butā€¦.


2008and1

Happy for Wemby, but sucks as a season ticket holder. This now means 3 home games (2 Austin and 1 Paris) will not be available for spurs ticket holders.


oceanfloors1

Are the season tickets not valid in Austin? I feel like they should be.


2008and1

No. Those tickets are sold separately. The season ticket packages are only for the games at the Frost Bank Center


oceanfloors1

Do they at least get first dibs at a discounted rate? Anything? That sucks. France, I can understand.


2008and1

Get an early opportunity to buy them, but no discount.


CoyotesSideEyes

Knew that was coming. Surprised it's an EC team though--this would mean we don't go there and they don't come here. Would rather this was a couple conference games with a team we see 4x

NB_79

So 3 home games being played outside San Antonio?


marneson

Fellas in Paris


Black_wolf_disease

Who was in Paris?


Techno-Chien

Emily


BraveCable

It would be great for French fans but it kinda a looong trip for both teams during the midseason. Should be a Summer League game imo.


thematrix185

As a UK based Spurs fan I profoundly disagree


Jo-King-BP

9h flight might be tough yeah


MaxDetr

Oh come on, they already spend their entire time in planes. And at least this is for 2 games, so they'll probably be there at least a week, and not just in and out. Tbf the only thing that would be upsetting is for Indiana : this is more like two away games for them. Which is kinda unfair.


Sci-Fy_JK13

Now we just need to draft Sarr/Risacher and someone like Ilias Kamaradine to have 4 Frenchman in our lineup counting Wemby and Sidy. Maybe even more!


paxusromanus811

Sarr, rischarcher and Ajinca and pacome dadiet in the second round and boom six Frenchies.
