Assuming it was not purchased ahead of time, the average cost of a ticket into the Staples Center on Thursday night for Game 7 between the Lakers and Celtics began at $788 on Wednesday afternoon. By Wednesday night, a ticket was $300 more, selling for $1,063 each.
That’s hardly the ceiling for a Game 7 ticket. As of Thursday morning, the price increased again, though only slightly, coming in at $1,099. All indications are that the price of tickets will continue to increase until tip-off.
The final game of the NBA Finals begins at 9 p.m. ET.
