Why are NBA Finals tickets so insanely expensive for just one game?

crazy prices for one game

PROFITS!!! And did you check the cost of a drink, or food? And the reality if you are there, you can't see much, it's crowded, the bathrooms are trashed, it's insane getting there and out of there.

Lastly, if you wear the wrong clothes, you could get beaten within an inch of your life and the medical bills would be quite high... no?

I don't attend most pro sports because the players make multi millions as do the owners. It's over priced. Be a discerning consumer, STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY AND PROMITING (a combination of the words promote and vomit) THIS OVER RATED GARBAGE!

Watch high school kids or local sports for $3 and a bring a container of water from home. Then, go out to the park and play ball yourself and get exercise! Or go to the gym.

Remember, you have a dollar vote!

I know what you mean i paid like 500 dollars to see the Bulls in the 97 and 98 finals. And i thought it was robbery then.

And i see why the Knicks fans would pay it. Because it'll probably be another 27 years. Before they get back to the finals again.

Capitalism.

NBA Finals tickets are like mini luxury events now 😅
You’re paying for limited supply, huge demand, and the “history” factor, not just 48 minutes of basketball. Corporations, celebs, and rich fans drive prices up, plus resale sites add crazy markups. Finals games are also major TV spectacles, so being in the arena becomes a status symbol, which inflates prices even more. 🏀💸

because they're final games...

and the us economy is about that... overpriced hype

[FunkyMonkee]

Because there's so fucking many idiots out there with more money than brains that are willing to pay that much for a ticket!!

[Iron_Man]

That’s absolutely ridiculous. That money. I’ve gone to the NBA finals in Miami when I saw LeBron James’s last game for the Miami Heat and I didn’t pay anything like that not even close.

Because people will pay those prices. You would have to pay me to go to an NBA game or an NFL game.
