With only one championship in the 60-year history of the Atlanta Hawks franchise (including stints in Milwaukee and St. Louis) and no playoff appearances since the turn of the millennium, it's understandable that some Atlanta basketball fans are a bit jaded. But all hope is not lost for Hawks fans, and the team has shows real signs of life this season. Fans are starting to buy Hawks basketball tickets again, and some are even whispering about a possible trip to the NBA playoffs. Fans that have been around for a while remember the teams of the 1980s and 1990s that made it to the playoffs almost every season, thanks in part to the exploits of Dominique Wilkins. Now the excitement is coming back, and you can experience it for yourself with Hawks tickets.

In each of the past three seasons the Hawks have improved their record, and they started this year with a new uniform design. That seems to have paid off, as the Hawks won their home opener against the Dallas Mavericks, one of the best teams in the NBA. So optimism is starting to grow at Philips Arena, and sales of Atlanta Hawks tickets are picking up. With young stars like Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, the team appears to have a bright future.
