Buying Warriors Tickets

The Golden State Warriors are a basketball team based in Oakland, California . The team goes by a longer name, but most people just call them the Warriors, ever since they first got their start in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The franchise managed to win in the inaugural season championship of the Basketball Association of America, which would later on change it's name to the National Basketball association or the NBA. It was only in 1962 when the franchise made San Francisco their home. Along with the change of address, the name changed to the San Francisco Warriors until 1971, when it finally became the Golden State Warriors. Despite their many name changes, the team has managed to keep its supporters who still continue to purchase Warriors tickets. A Warrior ticket is still a Warrior ticket, no matter what the team's name is!

The Golden State Warriors have had their share of glory moments, winning the championship for a total of 3 times. Fans who purchased Warrior tickets in the inaugural championship of 1946 to 1947 were treated to a win. Those who carried Warrior tickets in the championship of 1955 to 1956 and that of 1974 to 1975 were also treated to a victorious game. In fact, the Golden State Warriors are tied for 5th in the NBA number of championships.

The first year the Golden State Warriors were founded, they were owned by Peter Tyrell, who was also owned the Philadelphia Rockets, the hockey team of the state. Peter Tyrell was responsible for hiring Eddie Gottlieb, a long time promoter, not to sell Warrior tickets, but to serve as the team's coach and general manager. Under the guidance of Eddie Gottlieb and basketball sensation Joe Fulks the team claimed the championship, defeating the Chicago Stags.

During the 1955 to '56 season, the Warriors won again by defeating the Fort Wayne Pistons. Part of the team were now Hall of Famers Paul Arizin, Michael Bryson and Neil Johnston. It was in 1959 that the team signed basketball sensation, Wilt Chamberlain, whose records and style of play revolutionized basketball forever. At one time, Chamberlain even scored 100 points against the New York Knicks, making that game and those Warrior tickets one of the most prized in basketball history.

After these amazing championships, the Golden State Warriors experienced many years of struggle and difficulty, causing them to lose their place among NBA's top teams. Today, the team continues their rebuilding, strengthening their coaching staff, and their current members. With much work and dedication, hopefully the Golden State Warriors will bring back their glory days!
