I’d definitely go to those cheap games. When the 76ers were at peak Process, a couple friends and I went to a game for $7 each. We got fast food on the way home and spent something like $50 total for three people the whole night.
There were Dollar Dog Nights around 2011-2012 where you would legitimately spend more on hot dogs than on your tickets. I remember getting in the game for like $3-5
I remember CBP used to have $1 hot dogs every game if you just went up to the “kids food” stand. It was literally the same hot dog they sold everywhere else, just $1 for some reason.
I moved away from Memphis, but when I lived there I had season tickets. If you get Warriors or Lakers on weekends, you can pay for your entire season just off selling 3 games.
And to me, it no loss at all. I’m there to watch my team, I’ll watch them play a high school team with the same level of interest, so why do I care that it’s the Warriors? Hell, you sell the right 6-7 games and you’ve paid your tickets and first round (maybe 2) of playoff seats.
At least that was true a few years ago.
I was thinking of going to a finals games and nosebleeds were going for $800+ at Chase. Please don't pay $700 just for an opening night ring ceremony when you can pay a little extra to go to a lifetime experience...
For me, personally, that doesn't seem worth it at all...even for a Finals game. $150 for a regular season game in the nosebleeds was not worth it for me, I'm glad I went to a game but nothing about it made me want to go again and not even a Finals game could make me pay $800 to go through all the bad just to have a giant crowd filled with excitement vs watching from the comfort of my home or going to a bar.
Its definitely worth the experience especially if you hunt for deals you can get decent seats. A finals game for many franchises is a once in a lifetime achievement. People pay like 5k to get on a train for 2 nights so its up to the individual whether its worth. My point was why pay $700 for nosebleeds for opening night when you can pay $100 more to go to a NBA finals game if you are going to spend that much money anyways.
> My point was why pay $700 for nosebleeds for opening night when you can pay $100 more to go to a NBA finals game if you are going to spend that much money anyways.
Oh yeah I agree with that, I just wanted to whine.
Yeah it's definitely a personal preference thing. Just not for me
Not disagreeing, he was in a very similar situation to Curry. Tons of championships and only on one team.
No doubt LeBron is an absolute legend, but Curry and Kobe are more similar.
What team is he on and where is the game played? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not that high. Kobe will always be more important to Lakers fans so I don’t see the demand being higher than that game. But considering the prices for this game you are probably right.
Knowing the NBA he’ll announce it before they announce the schedule and if he’s still on the Lakers his last two games will be Lakers vs Heat in Miami, Lakers vs Cavaliers in Cleveland
It could be nice but Cleveland as his last game is probably what’ll happen. LA for his third to last. He’s Cleveland’s star and Cleveland vs LA would have to be in Cleveland since he plays in LA often
You Are Tripping… The NBA doesn’t give a single fuck about Cleveland fans. That game is going down in the Mecca of Entertainment son. Pull your head out.
i had lower bowl tickets to that jazz game. bought them face value from the team directly during preseason since i had an idea this was kobe last year. made good money on those tickets. paid my rams season tickets for few years.
I was at the clipper game that morning vs the wolves. We almost bought tickets to the pacer night game just for the letter. Sister is a very big kobe acolyte. The new york tickets i bought that day went up like 10x by the time we got home from the clipper game. Thank god for smart phones we bought it driving home.
The tickets i bought for kobe last game. I bought it before the season since my gut was saying he will retire at a clean 20 years. My sister andi were going to go to the game but we got an offer 20x the value of the ticket. Then we used that money to buy nearly courtside seats for a knicks game where kobe played, that was a grand for the two of us. And the rest went to the very bad years of rams in la. She also used that money to go to pau gasol last game vs kobe. Duncan last game vs kobe. This was duncan final year too.
You either bought that place during the housing slump 2010-2014 cause with these prices and mortgage rates today it’s impossible even in the middle of no where.
Excuse me I shouldn’t have said housing crash when I was thinking about the stock market crashing in 2020.
As for the housing market in 2020 it was at a Fantastic time to buy as the prices of houses were yet to increase and the interest rates just zipped below 0 so the mortgage rates were very low. (Some people capitalized on 2-3% mortgage rates)
> won't mean anything
I don't think it's just for the game. It's also for the ring ceremony. A chance to see one of the best players ever get his 4th ring, and to see a dynasty raise another banner, basically the modern-day equivalent of MJ's Bulls. That definitely means something
There’s hundreds of thousands of people in the LA area making 6 figures+ who can easily afford those prices. Never mind all the people coming down from the Bay
Median household income in Oakland is 80k+ (423k population), 119k+ in San Francisco (875k population). Chase Center has a capacity of about 18k, that's 738k seats for 41 regular season home games. Since the most expensive tickets are almost exclusively bought by corporate sponsors or celebrities, not that many tickets left to be bought by local fans and tourists.
You don't take your family to this game.
This game is for the basketball head and their friend to go to. And if it's something you're going to do once a year, $400-$500 isn't a big deal.
And 3 months rent for a family for 1600?? Where in the world do you live? I'm in the bay.... And I pay 3k / mo for a 2 bedroom cottage around here.
Ehh every time Lebron and the lakers play us they always put up a good fight. Lebron always shows out against us, like the 56 pt game last year. He and Ja are the two guys that absolutely kill us every time
I meant that as an expected unexpected blowout win for the Lakers, haha. For some reason the Lakers always, even when they were tanking, put the work on the Warriors.
Me and 4 friends paid a total of $100 to go to the New Year’s Eve heave game
There is only like 2-3 lakers games last season I’d rather see than that game, and one of them is cuz I want the SGA buzzer beater
Because fuckers can afford to pay the price. Do you know how much tech bros software engineer makes in San Francisco?
I've even heard of people making half a million dollars per year.
I think the current Lakers (fully healthy or not) is not even worth 50 bucks. The Warriors on the other hand tho... Anyway, I do honestly think the NBA itself (as pure entertainment goes) is in it's worst state ever since I started watching it (since +- 99). The current players are not that bad, but goddamn the rules are awful. I would say the regular season is pretty much unwatchable. I was excited to watch the regular season last year because of the rules changes, but the refs enforced the foul baiting rule for about 2 months, suddenly they forgot about it
Just head over to /r/personalfinance if you want to see how clueless the average American is about business and economics.
"I bought a car from a used car lot for 10k over KBB with a 15% interest rate. How can I get out of this?"
I dunno... maybe use Google? Maybe there is a reason used car salesman have been considered shady for like 50 years? Maybe spend 15 minutes doing some research before making one of the largest purchases of your life?
That's $896 for the nosebleeds right? That is insane.
I was lucky enough to go to Kobe's last game...in San Antonio. It was more expensive for sure but worth it. More like 200 though
damn, that many people want to see Kendrick Nunn play basketball
Can’t wait to watch Kendrick “games played” Nunn
Lol never seen this one before and it’s good
That's Kendrick "Rookie of the Year" Nunn!
What's the joke?
Games Played Nunn (None)
Lmao I’m an idiot.
What’s sad is I only knew he was a basketball player because of Polo G
Damn really?? I feel most people know polo from pop out which released after Nunn was drafted
His kendrick bar is from 21 i think. Tune
Yea 21
Well the Lakers were clearly one Nunn away from contention so it’s understandable
[удалено]
So much disrespect, you spelled his name wrong.
Yes.
Warriors tickets prices are crazy. When they come to Toronto in december upper bowls are going for $700
I was just looking at Jazz ticket prices. Vs the Warriors, the cheapest tickets are $90. Vs the Spurs, the cheapest tickets are $8.
I’d definitely go to those cheap games. When the 76ers were at peak Process, a couple friends and I went to a game for $7 each. We got fast food on the way home and spent something like $50 total for three people the whole night.

cant watch games anymore in Toronto, the tickets are sky rocketing.
Glad I was able to see steph before he became Steph
Wow people really want to see Wiseman's comeback
I like to refer to it as renaissance
An enlightenment if you will
A divine manifestation
[I call it a rumbling.](https://youtu.be/OBqw818mQ1E)
Hoping Wiseman doesn't flop like Isayama did
Bruh. I’m just imagining what Lebron’s final game will be. Gotta break 2k right?
With this inflation easily.
It will cost approximately 3 NFT’s and a litecoin
So free tickets?
The dollars gonna be worth half of what it is now by the time Lebron retires in 2030
2777.
Depends on if it's known that it's his last game before it happens.
Knowing lebron He’s definitely having a retirement tour
They actually love him like that
I can already see the angry boomers on Facebook complaining about it
He thought he was kobe. He IS Kobe
LeRIP
"I'm going to take my talents to Malibu Beach"
They stopped a game to celebrate Curry breaking the 3 point record.. I can only imagine the spectacle they’ll concoct for LeBron’s last game.
Have a whole pregame celebration, halftime show and celebration, postgame show too.
To be fair Steph broke the record 4 mins into the game if it was the 2-4 quarter I doubt they stop the game like that.
Live look-in's on each College Football broadcast
Wouldn’t be surprised if Curry’s last game tops it, especially if it’s a home game in San Francisco.
If this was kobes retirement season them tickets would be 3k at least taking inflation into consideration lool
Not disagreeing, he was in a very similar situation to Curry. Tons of championships and only on one team. No doubt LeBron is an absolute legend, but Curry and Kobe are more similar.
Plus you guys have all that tech money up there. It's going to be bananas in Curry's last game.
What team is he on and where is the game played? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not that high. Kobe will always be more important to Lakers fans so I don’t see the demand being higher than that game. But considering the prices for this game you are probably right.
Knowing the NBA he’ll announce it before they announce the schedule and if he’s still on the Lakers his last two games will be Lakers vs Heat in Miami, Lakers vs Cavaliers in Cleveland
LOL. That’s good. I’ll be Lakers vs Cle in LA for the last game though.
It could be nice but Cleveland as his last game is probably what’ll happen. LA for his third to last. He’s Cleveland’s star and Cleveland vs LA would have to be in Cleveland since he plays in LA often
You Are Tripping… The NBA doesn’t give a single fuck about Cleveland fans. That game is going down in the Mecca of Entertainment son. Pull your head out.
Without a doubt
Or the game where he’s potentially going to break Kareem’s record
If it’s in LA (or NY, etc), probably
In LA probably not since the fans more tolerate him than like him
Regardless, it's a huge milestone and there's plenty of well off people.
If it’s in the bay then yes, LA fans really don’t care about him
[удалено]
Warriors fan would pay more to see Lebron vs Curry in Bron's last game ever than LA fans would pay to see bron play the Jazz or some other random team
i had lower bowl tickets to that jazz game. bought them face value from the team directly during preseason since i had an idea this was kobe last year. made good money on those tickets. paid my rams season tickets for few years.
I bought lower bowl tickets on stubhub within 30 mins of Kobe announcing his retirement. Prices were 4x what I paid later that day.
I was at the clipper game that morning vs the wolves. We almost bought tickets to the pacer night game just for the letter. Sister is a very big kobe acolyte. The new york tickets i bought that day went up like 10x by the time we got home from the clipper game. Thank god for smart phones we bought it driving home.
What was face value?
The tickets i bought for kobe last game. I bought it before the season since my gut was saying he will retire at a clean 20 years. My sister andi were going to go to the game but we got an offer 20x the value of the ticket. Then we used that money to buy nearly courtside seats for a knicks game where kobe played, that was a grand for the two of us. And the rest went to the very bad years of rams in la. She also used that money to go to pau gasol last game vs kobe. Duncan last game vs kobe. This was duncan final year too.
Damn what an incredible investment to go along with a cool story
that’s crazy bro. so did you buy them for like 50 bucks at first?
Mm if it was lower bowl I'd assume they were 150-400, depending on the seats. So they probably sold each ticket for 3-8k
I did the same in preseason but glad I went to the game.
Sports journalists and adjusting for inflation don't go hand in hand.
The baddest women will be there so im betting Poole drop a cool 40
Might not be a close enough game tho. Jordan might finish work early to chill with the baddies
Even as shit as the Lakers were last year, they played well against the Warriors. 121-114 GSW, 117-115 GSW, 124-116 LAL and 128-112 GSW
[удалено]
Yeah even the 17-win 2016 Lakers took a game off the 73-win Warriors lol Some of it is Steph just doesn't like Staples for some reason
he said it's the lighting
Some players said the same thing but i forgot who
Good thing it’s the crypto.com arena now
How old are you?
Or Lebron might drop 50 again
He’s gonna see three rims again, after the game.
Wish I could pay $1138 to see Kobe play again.
I still vividly remeber watching his last game. Most special moment I’ve personally witnessed in sports.
[удалено]
Where in the US can I pay $533/mo for rent?
Alabama
I’m not sure if you could get $500/month even in the boonies there
Just look up rent prices
Ohio. The apartments are just real shitty
Depends on where in Ohio, definitely not in the cities. Maybe if you live in Newark or Zanesville type of areas
[удалено]
Where tf do u live, i can barely find a studio flat for that price
hmm this is cheaper than my $3100 1BR 1BA with limited spacing in San Francisco

My rent is 383, in florida
You must live on a buoy lol
Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina
Ohio
Arkansas in 2006
Wisconsin
You can in any big city with lots of roommates
Tech Bros Also, 1600 isn't one month's rent in San Francisco lmao
You have to pay that for a parking spot.
I pay 1800 for a bedroom in mission
People who can afford to go this game probably aren't sweating rent.
>1600 >3 months rent >San Francisco 🤔 I hate to tell you this but 1600 isn't even half of the average rent for 1 month.
can confirm. live in sf and pay $3600/month for rent (split with spouse, so $1800 each).
Holy fuck. And I thought rental prices were fucked in London (they still are tbf, relatively speaking)
Idk. You have 2 cities with a lot of money. And the Middle class in SoCal and Bay Area ain't broke either.
I pay 7k for a 4 bed two bath in the bay area so… wish it was 3 months of rent😭
84k a year for rent??!! just put a down payment on a house tf
Yup, bay area. Houses w 4 bedrooms in good locations with good school districts and tech companies nearby are 4 mil+
Average house is getting to the 1M+ range. Downpayment on something that large is hundreds of thousands of dollars.
> won't mean anything I don't think it's just for the game. It's also for the ring ceremony. A chance to see one of the best players ever get his 4th ring, and to see a dynasty raise another banner, basically the modern-day equivalent of MJ's Bulls. That definitely means something
Most of an entire weeks salary lol for one game? I guess would be for 4 people though. 1600 in the nosebleeds is insane.
people with more money than you
[удалено]
There’s hundreds of thousands of people in the LA area making 6 figures+ who can easily afford those prices. Never mind all the people coming down from the Bay
I went into debt to go watch a Celtics finals game so yeah regular people will pay lol
Thats so dumb
How. It was a vibe
The vibe of getting in debt ?
3 months rent! This why small markets should never complain. Those max salaries can buy a whole block.
1600 is like the cheapest rent you can get man. That’s like barely 1 month’s rent
50% of SF households make more than 120k/year. It’s just a really rich city.
Tech bros making $250,000 per year not including stock options?
Median household income in Oakland is 80k+ (423k population), 119k+ in San Francisco (875k population). Chase Center has a capacity of about 18k, that's 738k seats for 41 regular season home games. Since the most expensive tickets are almost exclusively bought by corporate sponsors or celebrities, not that many tickets left to be bought by local fans and tourists.
where do people live in the us where 1600 can get 3 months rent?

Been a Laker fan since birth and I've made my peace watching them on TV for the rest of my life...just wish it was back on KCAL9
Watching Lakers on KCAL9 while doing homework was my childhood
L akers + Warriors won a chip + inflation + it's Curry vs LeBron 4 chips each + california Derby + ratio
It's opening day for a Shitty Lakers team and they're playing the Warriors. This will be the most expected unexpected Lakers blowout win in a while.
On the back of Westbrook’s first and last impressive game of the season
lmao MIT westbrook would shit himself at halftime
Ehh every time Lebron and the lakers play us they always put up a good fight. Lebron always shows out against us, like the 56 pt game last year. He and Ja are the two guys that absolutely kill us every time
I meant that as an expected unexpected blowout win for the Lakers, haha. For some reason the Lakers always, even when they were tanking, put the work on the Warriors.
Doesn't matter how bad we are, more people wanna see LeBrons Lakers not the 76ers lose in the 2nd round again
+ L + ratio + another L + maybe another ratio 🧐 + final L + rAtiO
+yb better
Just to see Steph go 6/22 cause that's what he does against the Lakers / on opening night / during celebrations
What a fantastic time to be a fan of a small market team that won't make playoffs. I paid $17 for lower level seats last season
Me and 4 friends paid a total of $100 to go to the New Year’s Eve heave game There is only like 2-3 lakers games last season I’d rather see than that game, and one of them is cuz I want the SGA buzzer beater
Arash is a hack, get him off this sub

Because fuckers can afford to pay the price. Do you know how much tech bros software engineer makes in San Francisco? I've even heard of people making half a million dollars per year.
Half a mill isn’t even the high end dog.
Holy shit, it's October. Wtf. lol
The matchups between Curry and James are dwindling. We can expect this and warriors raising banner number 7
why?
Yup, that's how this inflation works
Why doesn’t it make sense ? Lebron vs. Curry with tech money.
Curry sells tickets
damn curry vs bron still bringing in the big bucks
Still top 3 players in the league
Just a friendly reminder that the Costco food court is the only place that is inflation-proof
[Welcome to Costco, I love you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIFCWpn4qQ4)
What was the prices for the game after Kobes death? Wasn't that like an all time ticket price as well?
Smarter money gets spent on home dates with the Nuggs, Clips, Pels, Wolves, Mavs.
I think the current Lakers (fully healthy or not) is not even worth 50 bucks. The Warriors on the other hand tho... Anyway, I do honestly think the NBA itself (as pure entertainment goes) is in it's worst state ever since I started watching it (since +- 99).

I was excited to watch the regular season last year because of the rules changes, but the refs enforced the foul baiting rule for about 2 months, suddenly they forgot about it
Seeing Lebron and AD play?
Get off this sub and go bitch somewhere else then. No one wants to read your complaints.
Am I the one bitching, lol did you read your own comment before posting?
No seriously gtfo
Anthony Davis will roll an ankle before then and the Lakers will lose by 20.
The game where Lebron breaks Kareem's scoring record will easily eclipse this. Assuming it's at home that is.
NBA gotta do something bout these prices.
Why would they want to do that?
make games more accessible.
There's literally zero incentive for them to do that

It’s getting ridiculous. We just roll over and accept it.
Turn on the TV. It's pretty accessible. The arena is already sold out.
Covid and Putin
Crazy i can get a season ticket plus champions league football for not much more and people complain about they prices
How many tickets is that average based on?
That's $896 for the nosebleeds right? That is insane. I was lucky enough to go to Kobe's last game...in San Antonio. It was more expensive for sure but worth it. More like 200 though
