NBA Finals ticket prices for every game

How NBA Finals tickets are sold

Finals tickets are sold by the two teams that reach the series, so the host arenas are only known once the conference finals end. Before that, resale listings exist for possible home games of many teams, and most of them will never be played.

The series uses a 2-2-1-1-1 format. The team with the better regular season record hosts games 1, 2, 5 and 7; the other team hosts games 3, 4 and 6. Games 5, 6 and 7 are played only if needed, and a ticket for a game that is not played is refunded.

Which games cost the most

A game where one team can win the title is usually the most expensive ticket of the series, because buyers pay for the chance to see the trophy presented. Game 7, when it happens, is often the highest priced game of the season.

Games 1 and 2 are known in advance and tend to be the easiest to price. Games 3 and 4 depend on which team is the lower seed. Games 5 to 7 carry the most uncertainty, which shows up as wide gaps between the lowest and the typical listing.
