Ah yes, basketball season. Don't get me wrong; UAAP doesn't just have basketball in its roster, but fans are keen to prove otherwise. Once a game is on its way, except the roads to be clear - everybody's lining up and scalping for tickets because trust me, a game watched live amidst a sold-out crowd beats televised replays.
Basketball isn't just a game; it's the game, especially when well-entrenched rivals are playing each other. Except to just stroll to the counter an hour before an Ateneo-La Salle game? Think again buddy; you've got to work for your ticket.

1. Scalp.
Buying tickets from scalpers is the most hassle-free way of obtaining them; scalpers do the grunt work, and you just have to pay for them! Convenience doesn't come cheap, though. Except scalped tickets to be worth triple of their original price.
2. Camp out in front of Araneta Coliseum.
Or the Philippine Sports Complex. Or Blue Eagle Gym. Wherever the game is being held, tickets will be sold there. But if you want prime seats and a secure slot, pitch a tent and wait for tellers to start selling.

3. Have connections.
Friends with benefits FTW <3
4. Date an athlete.
Instant game tickets and after-party invites! Go on, take your pick ;)

5. Camp out in your school.
See #2. School spirit is a big thing - each school wants to win, right? Most universities sell tickets right on-campus; time it right, and you might be heading courtside! You've just got to watch out for those who live on-campus; they're normally the ones who'd hoard all the tickets and sell them to you at huge profits.
6. Line up at 3AM.
Wherever they're selling tickets, be there before dawn to wait for the ticket sellers to start selling. If that doesn't net you a ticket, who knows what else will?

7. Get a job at Araneta.
Sell hotdogs, mop floors, do security checks, whatever it takes to get into the Big Dome!
8. Become a courtside reporter.
Season passes, one-on-one time with the athletes and coach, and always the best view.
9. Steal.
Whatever it takes, right?
10. Sell your soul.
