SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Spurs home playoff tickets are set to go on sale this week for the first time this decade. As of Wednesday, some fans are able to get their seats as soon as they can.
The Spurs, who have clinched at worst a top-two seed in the Western Conference, will host at least two playoff games (Games 1 and 2) in their upcoming first round playoff series.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public for those games at 10 a.m. Thursday, but current season ticket holders are eligible for presale on Wednesday.
Members of the Official Spurs Fan Club began their ticket buying spree at noon Wednesday. A maximum of four tickets per order are available for purchase.
In a news release, the team said fans can join the Official Spurs Fan Club to unlock presale access and text “PLAYOFFS” to 210-444-5940 to receive all additional playoff details when those are made available.
Anyone who wants to buy tickets must live within a 150-mile radius of the Frost Bank Center.
The Spurs said this geographic restriction ensures local fans have priority access to tickets and prevents scalpers.
“Our local fans have supported and embraced our team for over five decades in San Antonio. It’s important to our organization to recognize and celebrate their continued commitment to our team, throughout the wins, losses and everything in between.
“The geographic restriction on all home game ticket purchases throughout Playoffs allows us to prioritize local fans across San Antonio, Austin and surrounding areas and to protect against mass purchases by ticket brokers from outside our market. This method is used by many NBA teams.”

With seven games left in the regular season entering Wednesday night, the Silver and Black team are three wins away from reaching 60 for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
