Secure your NBA Finals tickets today and witness history as the new champion is crowned! The NBA Finals are the final round of the NBA Playoffs featuring the Eastern and Western Conference Champions. Both teams play a best-of-seven series to determine the champion for the season. The most successful franchises in terms of NBA championships are the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, with both teams having more than 15 titles.
The finals format matches the rest of the playoffs with 2-2-1-1-1 scheduling. The first three rounds rely on tournament seeding to determine home-court advantage, but the NBA Finals go off the best regular-season record. Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 are hosted by the team with home-court advantage, with the remainder hosted by the opposing team. Get your NBA Finals tickets to root your team onto a championship!
The NBA Finals have a lot of variables that can affect the pricing for tickets. As one of the biggest events in American sports, tickets are in high demand, but great seats can be found on TicketSmarter! Some of the factors that will affect the ticket prices include the teams playing, the popularity of each team, the host cities, arena capacity and seating locations.
Tickets are typically found in the $900 to $1,000 range. Upper-level seating is typically cheaper than what is found in the lower levels. Seats located in the corners or behind the basket are cheaper than the tickets at the half-court point. Game tickets also get more expensive the closer that the seat is to the basketball court.
The NBA’s regular-season starts in October and ends in April. The top eight teams from each Eastern and Western Conference move onto the NBA Playoffs to determine the conference champions. Once the conference champions are crowned at the end of May, both teams begin the NBA Finals. The final best-of-seven series is played through mid-June with two or three days between each game to allow for practice and travel time. Each team plays three or four home games if the series goes to a game seven, allowing fans many opportunities to see their team play on the way to a championship.
Tickets for the NBA Finals go on sale as soon as the NBA conference finals are completed. If a team clinches a berth into the NBA Finals by winning their conference championship in four consecutive games, tickets may go on sale sooner if the home-court advantage is already decided. TicketSmarter has tickets for each game in the series so fans will be able to see their favorite team at home or they can travel to the away games.
The NBA Finals are played in the arenas belonging to the two conference championship teams. Arenas all have seating capacities that can hold 17,000 to 21,000 fans. Each arena’s layout is unique, but they all have upper and lower-level bowls. Middle-tier seating along with club and box seats may also be available depending on the arena. All NBA games have reserved seating and no general admission tickets are available.
TicketSmarter makes it easy to pick out the perfect seats. The interactive seating map accurately displays every arena’s unique seating chart and will display tickets that are available in each section. The filter tool can also sort all tickets by price, section and row, just like your own virtual box office!
