Ticket prices are rising everywhere. Concerts, sporting events and movies have all increased prices and fees as the times have changed.
NBA season tickets often cover 41 home games and then offer special access to playoff games. The value of tickets depends on which city or market the team is in. The arena and age of the building also affects ticket prices.
Furthermore, the team’s success and current roster or star players can drive up prices for season tickets. It also depends on which package of games you purchase and where you want to sit in the arena.
Season ticket packages can range from $30 per game for upper-level seats to $2,000 per game to sit courtside. So, full packages can range from $1,200 to $90,000. Some packages also include a deposit to secure the tickets that can be around $100.
