How To Find Discounted Los Angeles Lakers Tickets

To find the cheapest Los Angeles Lakers tickets, it's important to check both the primary and secondary ticket markets. Based on the demand for a given even, resale marketplaces like TicketIQ may be more or less expensive than face value options available through primary ticketing platforms like Ticketmaster, AXS, and SeatGeek. Weekend rivalry games are typically the most expensive game, while weekday games against lesser opponents are the best way to get to a game for cheap. For sporting events that take place every year, it's important to know when the event is actually going on sale, which is typically the middle of the off-season. Teams often adjust prices dynamically in-season, which can impact both face-value and resale ticket prices. For fans willing to make a commitment by purchasing season tickets, prices are typically 10%-20% below single-game face value prices. 

Where Are The Cheapest Los Angeles Lakers Tickets

If you are looking for the cheapest Los Angeles Lakers tickets, the last 10 rows of the upper level are usually the least expensive for any game. Tickets at on the baselines are typically cheaper than sections on the sidelines. For most Los Angeles Lakers games tickets can be found for under $50, with some as low as $10 for the lowest-demand match-ups of the season. With that being said, at Crypto.com Arena there are no bad locations to view a game. Even the most inexpensive seats still provide fans with a very enjoyable game experience.

Where Are The Most Expensive Los Angeles Lakers Tickets

If you are looking for more expensive Los Angeles Lakers tickets, lower-level seats are the best place to look. Floor level seats on the sidelines will usually cost more than other ones in the arena. Tickets right at centercourt are often amongst the most expensive sections for NBA arenas. Additionally, club suites are considered some of the premier locations at Crypto.com Arena. Resale sites like TicketIQ and Stubhub often don't list suite options, which means you'll need to visit the team site directly to purchase those.

When Do Los Angeles Lakers Tickets Go On Sale

NBA schedules are released 2-3 months ahead of the next season, usually in mid-August. Tickets are immediately available on the secondary market via season-ticket holders, however, teams don't typically put face-value single-game tickets onsale until closer the season, usually in September. Promotional and theme night scheudles are released even closer to the start of the season, and teams will often wait to put other big games onsale until closer to the actual date of the game.
