Comments Off on LeBron’s Philadelphia Debut Sets NBA Opening Game Ticket Price Record

The NBA has released the schedule for the opening week of the 2026/27 season. The highlight will be the clash between the reigning champions New York and Philadelphia, the team that recently signed LeBron James.

This announcement immediately sent ticket prices soaring into an unprecedented range. The cheapest ticket for the season opener, located in the upper tier, will cost $1,999. This sets a new record for home opener prices in the league.

The average ticket price is expected to be around $4,000, with courtside seats already priced above $10,000.

By comparison, the average NBA ticket price last season was approximately $94.
