An overzealous fan made his way to the premiere seats at the New Orleans Pelicans–Washington Wizards game.

A classic tradition at sporting events, is for fans to buy cheap tickets and then work their way on down to better seats without getting caught. During Monday night’s game between the Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans, one fan went the extra mile to getting good seats.

It’s something everyone who has sat in the nosebleeds has done once or twice in their lifetime. If it’s a sparse crowd, why not try to get better seats?

That’s what this gentleman did, and no one even seemed to notice the fan work his way down into prime position.

The fan in New Orleans, already sitting in the second row, worked his way into the first row right on the court and had the best seats in the house to watch the two young dynamic teams take battle. Security didn’t even seem to notice him moving.

The fan didn’t stop there either, after it appears the original owners of the seats return, the fan gets out of there before anyone can blink an eye and notice him, and scoots on by behind the Pelicans bench.

So the story here is either the fan’s incredible ability to go unnoticed or the staff at the Smoothie King Center need to work on keeping fans in the correct seats that they payed for. Credit to the fan for taking advantage of the opportunity that was put before him.
