When tickets tend to be cheapest
Use the checked prices on this page. The file’s ranking note on the Oct 16 preseason game says the price is up 50% this week and to skip it unless you want a first look. The Oct 24 opener note says the price is falling, down 16% in 7 days.
Those percentages are from this week’s research file, not a standing Bulls rule. No separate NBA resale study is cited here.
Best-value sections and seats
The Bulls’ seating page lists three bowls: the 100 level (rows A–M and 1–19), the 200 level (rows 1–8), and the 300 level (rows 1–17). It does not label one of them as the cheapest.
The Student Pass FAQ says a “Lower Level” choice means the 100 level, and that you pick an area rather than a specific seat before you pay.
Cheap ways in
The Bulls Student Pass is for college students with a .edu email. The team says it covers home games while inventory lasts, with a limit of four tickets per game. The purchase code is the .edu address, followed by a two-step check.
No other Bulls promo price was verified for these two games.
