Not really a knack, I'm just at the student gates when they open. Here lately, there have been about a dozen of us or so. The wait is totally worth it though.
Guess I wasn't clear enough. There are three rows of courtside student seats in front of section 123, as well as 1 row behind the goal. As I mentioned before, I have to get there at least an hour and a half before tip-off to guarantee good enough seats for photos.
