How much are NBA Playoffs tickets?
Tickets to the NBA playoffs start at a lower price in the first round and proceed to get higher as teams reach the Conference or NBA Finals. The seating location in the arena is a major factor depending on if you wish to be in the lower or upper levels. First-round tickets typically average out at around $130 with the second round being closer to $190. The Conference Finals reach an average price of around $275 to $300. The NBA Finals can get up to a price range of $900 to $1,000.
Deals can always be found as prices tend to fluctuate. Research shows that three to seven days before a game is a premium time to buy. Tickets may drop as it gets closer to game time, but waiting includes the risk of missing out on tickets or great seats. If you find the perfect seats, it is best to jump on them before someone else does!
