Courtside seats are going for much more than people even pay for NBA Finals games.
James only 63 points away from breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record of 38,387 points. Given that the 38-year-old averages 30 points per game this season, fans think he might pass Abdul-Jabbar at the Lakers’ upcoming Tuesday match-up against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The average ticket price for that game was $1,757.81 as of Thursday, with even the nosebleed seats going for $424, about a 600 percent mark-up.
If James doesn’t set a new record that evening, the next potential opportunity would be the Lakers’ February 9 matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Some seem to think that game is a more likely bet, with the average ticket price sitting at $1,931.32. And if James takes his sweet, sweet time and doesn’t make history until the next game, a February 11 meeting with the Golden State Warriors, you may be shelling out the average $1,131.23 to see him take on Steph Curry and his crew.
If you are hoping to see James as he makes history, all three of those games are happening in California . So unless you’re based in the Golden State, factor in those flights and hotel rooms on top of the soaring ticket prices.
