Raptors Courtside Tickets: How They Work and How to Get Them

Courtside is the closest you can get to an NBA game without a jersey: seats on the floor at the edge of the court, at player level. This guide explains how Raptors courtside tickets work, why prices vary so much, and how to buy them without getting burned.

What "courtside" means at Scotiabank Arena

Courtside seats sit on the floor around the court, separate from the raised lower bowl. On a mobile ticket you'll usually see a courtside section code and a lettered row (for example row A or B). The first row is right at the edge of the playing surface; later courtside rows are still on the floor, a few feet back.

Front-row seats in the lower bowl are a different, also excellent, option: row 1 of a raised section, with nothing in front of you and a better view of plays developing across the whole court.

Why courtside prices vary so much

• The opponent and the night. Marquee opponents, weekends and big storylines push prices up; quieter weeknights come down.
• The exact row and position. Row A at centre court is not priced like a corner seat in a later row.
• How many seats together. Pairs and groups of four are priced differently from singles.
• Timing. Resale prices move up and down in the days before tip-off.

That's why a single "courtside price" doesn't exist, and why TixVault quotes specific seats (section and row) instead of showing a made-up average.

What's often included

Many courtside tickets come with extras such as club or lounge access, but it varies by seat and season. Always check what your specific ticket includes. When TixVault quotes you seats, we list exactly what those tickets include, and only what they really include.

How to buy courtside tickets safely

• Get seats transferred through the official app. A screenshot is not a ticket; the arena scans the live ticket in the official app.
• Know the exact seats before you pay: section, row, and how many together.
• Look for the all-in price, with fees included, before you commit.
• Don't pay strangers up front for seats you can't verify.

How TixVault does it

Tell us the game, courtside or front row, and how many. We come back with real seats and an all-in price, and our price promise means it's below Ticketmaster's resale price for the same seats. You pay only after you accept, by Interac e-Transfer or cash in Toronto, and the tickets are transferred to your phone.
