Oklahoma City Blue Tickets

The Oklahoma City Blue is the NBA G League affiliate of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Originally known as the Asheville Altitude from North Carolina, the franchise was a founding member of the NBA Development League in 2001. It was also an early powerhouse, winning back-to-back championships in 2004 and 2005. However, despite its success, an independent ownership group purchased the franchise and moved it to Tulsa where it adopted the name of the 66ers for nine seasons. After a mere two seasons, the franchise was sold off again to the Professional Basketball Club LLC, which also owns the Oklahoma City Thunder. The ownership group made the 66ers an exclusive affiliate of the NBA team. In its best ever season, the 66ers made the 2010 finals but lost in two games to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. In 2014, Professional Basketball Club moved the team to Oklahoma City and rebranded it as the Blue. The team then made the conference finals in 2017.
