For the Best Deal on NBA Western Conference Finals Tickets, Consider Buying Now (Unless you’re a Warriors fan)

February 22, 2019

 With a 42-16 record coming out of the All Star break, The Golden State Warriors seem like a lock for a trip back to the Western Conference Finals. 2019 would be their fifth consecutive NBA Finals and at this pount winning championships has become old hat for the Warriors. Despite that fact, prices for a potential conference and league championship will likely be as high as past years, in part because it’s their final season in Oakland at Oracle Arena.

For Fans looking see the Warriors in the NBA Finals, the best option may be to wait and get tickets directly from the team. Last year, the Warriors didn’t sell out for some of their biggest games, including the Game 1 of the NBA Finals, as noted by Darren Rovell on Twitter.

For the other four teams vying for a Western Conference finals appearance, the best option to get the cheapest tickets may be to make a bet on your team now through Shoowin.com--even with the conference Finals almost three-months away.
