Elite Perk: Tix to Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks

What a fun night! Lower level tickets to see the Magic during their recent hot streak – awesome! This was my first elite event as an elite and it didn’t disappoint.
We were happy to find close parking for reasonable rates. Happily there was almost no line at the will call desk. One thing that was weird about the arena was the lack of signage upon entrance. We were a little confused about where to go. To their credit, the ticket taker asked if we needed help finding our section but we confidently (and stupidly) declined the offer.
Our seats were in section 117 which offered a nice view of the court, just over a cameraman’s shoulder. While the view from our seats was great, getting to them was a bit treacherous. The steps are very steep and the arena lighting isn’t fantastic in that area. Those stairs did not pair well with women in heels (including me). While I didn’t see anyone fall, the thought of navigating them twice kept me from going up to the concessions during half time.
All in all it was a nice night out, and a great perk. It would have been nice to meet other Unilocalers before the game, but even without that it was a great first elite event for me and my sweetie.

I hadn’t put in for any of the Elite Perks in quite awhile but when I saw the link for this one and asked my husband if he was interested in going, he replied with a resounding, «YESSS!»
When we received our tickets at will call and saw what seats we had, it was like Christmas morning… especially for my husband who is a huge basketball and Magic fan. We’ve been to many Magic games in the past but these were the best seats we’ve had by far — aisle seats on the lower level. I really couldn’t believe it. This was the best game to come to. Lots of great energy from the fans and promoters of the event. It’s nuts to think they put on a show like this for every game to keep fans entertained and energized. SO MUCH FUN! Also awesome that this was a blowout game where the Magic came out on top! The stars were aligned that night…
We made sure to grab dinner while there– my husband went with Papa John’s while I grabbed some tacos from Gringos Locos! And dessert at Cold Stone! While there we also grabbed some fan gear at the Magic Team Shop to represent that #PureMagic pride!
Such a great night to get out after our lazy Thanksgiving holiday. And a great reminder of why I’m so thankful to be a Unilocal Elite!

Andi, thank you very much! The seats were unbelievable, the atmosphere was great, the staff was very helpful and the parking was ridiculously easy!
I had an easier time leaving this parking garage than my local shopping plaza and it was absolutely simpler than leaving any Heat or Dolphins game in Miami. As for the seats, Row 4 in Section 110?!! Wow. These were the best seats I’ve ever had, by far. It took me a quarter or so to adjust my way of watching the game since I’m accustomed to having to watch the game on the big screen to get a clear view. On this great night, all I had to do was look straight ahead; I could get used to this!
I haven’t been to a ton of arenas/​stadiums, but the Amway Center is definitely one of the cleanest and friendliest venues I’ve been to. They were pumping up the crowd and did a great job at maintaining fantastic energy.
As a few others have mentioned, it would’ve been cool to have a formal meet up with other Unilocalers, but it’s really just nitpicking since the night really was great. I may not have seats as great as these on my next visit, but I had such a great time that I’m sure I’ll be returning!

I had so much fun at the game last night! The last time I was at a game was about two years ago when someone I knew had tickets, but couldn’t make it! When we arrived, we found our seats at the highest point of the nosebleed section! It was an interesting experience, to say the least!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting great seats last night, simply because they were free, but to my surprise, they were the best seats I’d ever had to a basketball game! It was totally awesome and I felt so lucky! It was also icing on the cake to be able to feel like the best wife ever for bringing my husband with me — a HUGE basketball fanatic! We got to root for our home team and watch them win the game! I cannot even say enough how thankful I was last night & still feel!
I truly feel so fortunate to be a part of the Unilocal community!

What a fun night! We were able to pick up our tickets immediately at will call (the benefit of having a last name that starts with W). I noticed some of the other will call lines were very long, but they moved quick.
We grabbed a couple of beers before finding our seats. I was thoroughly impressed by the variety of craft and domestic beers that Amway offers! They have great food options too– anything from tacos to Cuban to pizza! All of the concessions were well staffed so no one had to wait long to purchase anything. Everything was very clean too– even the restrooms!
The seats were awesome in the lower bowl section 117! They did a great job at getting the crowd pumped up for the game! They threw a good number of t-​shirts out to the crowd. The dancers did a fantastic job performing. I enjoyed the different activities they did with the crowd on their big screen. I liked seeing Stuff interact with lots of children. The smiles on their faces were priceless. The best part of all– THE MAGIC WON!!! I can’t wait to come back to another Magic game!!!

What an incredible night! Seats were ridiculously amazing! Took the hubby for a date night. And we won in a blow out… Biggest blow out since 2013. Can’t ask for more. Even with all the construction traffic and parking was good. The Amway is huge. Each level has different types of food. Just know what you want and its there for you to find. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Bathroom were very clean considering the massive amount of people. I don’t think night could have been any better. I wasn’t sure if I had any other Unilocalers in my section or not but meeting up would have been great. Much Thanks to the Magic, Amway, Unilocal and Our Goddess Andi! Pure Magic!

This was my first Unilocal Elite event and I could think of no one better to share it with than my dad. He played basketball in high school and he had never been to an Orlando Magic game. He tried to play it cool, but I could tell he was excited as he continually looked over the stats of the players and told me what was going on in the game.
We had excellent seats — hello, row 2! We were seated near season ticket holders/​true Magic fans, which made the game even more exciting. Plus, we got free «boom sticks,» which I took full advantage of while cheering on the home team!
The Orlando Magic staff members/​promoters do a great job of keeping the energy up — launching t-​shirts into the audience, having Stuff (the Orlando Magic mascot) do rounds through the crowds and having the Orlando Magic dancers excite and entertain the crowd. Additionally, the Amway Center staff go above and beyond to ensure that you know where you’re going and having a good time. Another huge plus are the ample (and clean, I might add) restrooms. I was surprised to find that there wasn’t a line before and after the game. Thank you Unilocal and Orlando Magic for an excellent night!

You can’t beat free lower bowl tickets with Unilocal Elite events! This was my first visit to Amway Arena and I was impressed by the facility. Our seats were awesome just off to the side of one of the baskets. It also doesn’t hurt that the Magic won tonight.
The only downside to the event was we weren’t near other Unilocalers. I know they were there because I saw pictures! It would be nice to connect beforehand at a meet-​up.
Otherwise, it was a nice event with a shout-​out to the staff at the arena: incredibly cheerful and kind tonight!
