NBA ticket market trend

The NBA pulse index and typical resale price, one point per day since Oct 10, 2026.

How the NBA ticket pulse works

Every day we record the typical (median) resale price and the number of tickets listed for each upcoming NBA game, and compare each game with its own numbers up to seven days earlier. A game is heating up when its typical price rises while tickets on sale shrink, and cooling when prices fall as more tickets come on sale. The pulse index is the share of moving games that are warming: 50 is balanced.

Team figures cover every upcoming game a team plays, home and away. Games with fewer than 20 listings are left out of the signal. See the full Ticket Market Pulse for concerts, theater and every other league.
