What a weekend in the basketball world. March Madness opening weekend, NBA games, bunch of thrillers happening. Got into all of it with Danny Parkins from FS1. Today's episode of the Kevin O'Connor Show is presented by Game Time. With the NBA back in full swing, nothing's better than being in the stands, but getting last-minute tickets to games can be a bit of a pain. The Game Time app makes it easy though for fans, because in just a few taps, you can get your tickets on time and at the best price. And what I love, fees are always included. I first noticed that when I was mapping out my concert calendar for the remainder of the season, 'cause I'm thinking about seeing this band called The Last Dinner Party, and I noticed when I was going to purchase tickets that it was so nice to see that there was no hidden fees at the end when deciding whether to buy the tickets or not. Finally, transparency. And with the Game Time guarantee, you know the tickets you're gonna get are 100% authentic. I go to most NBA games these days using my credentials, but when I decide to go with friends or take a date, I'll be using the Game Time app to snag them. So take the guesswork out of buying NBA tickets with Game Time. Download the Game Time app, create an account, and use code KOC for $20 off your first purchase. Terms do apply.
