Recently, I was at a Wizards game and wasn't able to locate seats in a club level or lower level section for a reasonable price. The prices were very high with average prices of well over $100. Therefore, I decided to give the 400 level or upper level a try for this game. Most people refer to these unwanted sections as "nosebleed sections" because of how high they are. However, there are some benefits of sitting far up.

First off the price is substantially lower. For a section that is on the club level which is one section down can cost up to $50-$100 more. In addition, the seats in the 400 level can be one of the first rows and the club level can be a back row. Therefore, there wouldn't be a huge difference between the two. Definitely not enough to justify a huge price increase. For some games the seats can sell for less than $30 each which makes for an affordable night out.
The sections are usually empty during bad games which makes for a very comfortable viewing experience. You can spread out. You most likely won't have people on both sides of you. You can put you feet out if there is no one in front of you. Overall, it is much more enjoyable if it is not very crowded. From experience, the least crowded sections are upper level sections.
The view from the upper level sections is always a deciding factor. Most people think that the view from these sections is awful. However, this is rarely the case. The sections that are closer to the center of the court are great values because they offer a full view of the court with an ability to see each play unfold with very little distractions or obstructions. While many people might come to see the players up close, this is something that is only possible from the lower level. Both the club level and the upper level are great for watching the game with no obstructions.
Now that you know about the seats that are the best value at a Basketball arena, it's time for you to head over to the Verizon Center for a Washington Wizards game. The Golden State Warriors are coming to town in just a few short weeks and this game will be a matchup that will be worth watching.
