NBA Ticket Prices by City
Ticket prices vary a lot between cities with teams in the league. The Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and New York Knicks currently have some of the most expensive average ticket prices in the NBA, while teams such as the Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, and Indiana Pacers have some of the cheapest.
NBA Ticket Prices by Seat Type
NBA ticket prices also vary by seat location. As a general rule, the further away and less central you are, the cheaper the tickets. While even the cheapest seats at NBA games these days tend to offer fairly good views, sitting up close provides a much more vivid experience. If you want courtside NBA seats, prepare to open your wallet, as these are usually the most expensive seats at NBA games.
That said, even courtside seats vary in price throughout the season, so be sure to check TicketX to find the cheapest courtside NBA tickets.

NBA Ticket Resale Buyer Fees
Most established ticket resale sites have high fees. We recommend buyers try reliable new resale sites. For example, although TicketPick charges a higher face value, they have no fees for buyers! TicketX charges buyers a flat fee of 20% which is one of the lowest buyer fees in the industry.

Best Timing to Buy Cheap NBA Tickets
The NBA regular season runs from mid-October to mid-April, followed by the NBA playoffs which continue from April into May and June. Because most teams practice dynamic pricing, tickets generally tend to get more expensive as the season goes on, especially if a team looks likely to qualify for the playoffs.
Curious how the NBA Season works?
It is also usually easier to find cheap tickets for midweek games as opposed to games on weekends. Visit TicketX to find up-to-date prices on available tickets for all NBA games.

Are NBA Tickets Cheaper the Day Of?
Yes! The closer the ticket is to the game date, prices tend to fall as sellers want to avoid losing money by not selling a ticket. For more details about the best time to buy tickets, check out:
