The Orlando Magic have turned out to be one of the biggest surprises of this NBA season, and that has led to a big surge in demand for Orlando Magic basketball tickets. Dwight Howard has turned into one of the brightest stars in the NBA, and it's worth the price of admission just to see him play. At just 22 years old, he can only get better, and that will make the Magic a threat to return to the NBA Finals for the first time since Shaquille O'Neal took them there in 1995. The other good news for Magic ticket holders is that the somewhat outdated Amway Arena is due to be replaced soon by a new arena, tentatively called the Orlando Events Center. Plus NBA commissioner David Stern has already promised to bring the NBA All-Star Game to Orlando once the new arena opens. Now is the time to get on the bandwagon and starting buying your Orlando Magic basketball tickets.

The last decade or so has been pretty tough on Orlando Magic fans - first Shaq left, then the promise of Grant Hill fizzled due to injuries, and then Florida Gators coach Billy Donovan accepted, and then resigned, the position of head coach in a span of just two days. But it looks like new coach Stan Van Gundy was the right choice after all, and there has been no better time to buy Orlando Magic basketball tickets then the present.
