At the present time, even though you are not a big fan of LeBron James, you definitely want to be a part of the moment the 38-year-old star breaks the NBA scoring record to become the greatest scorer in the tournament. And of course, to be a part of that moment will cost a small amount of money.
By the time the Los Angles Lakers won 112-111 against the Indina Pacers on the morning of February 3 (Vietnam time), LeBron James was getting closer and closer to the finish line with 26 more points in this match. Before the above match took place, LeBron James only needed to score 89 more points to surpass the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s milestone of 38,387 points and become the best scorer of all time.
According to the current schedule of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James will most likely surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the next series of matches at home, against two opponents Oklahoama City Thunder and Milwaukee Bucks. Currently, ticket prices to watch this confrontation are on the rise and at the moment, tickets for the least expensive seats are no longer available on online ticket sales sites.
According to Bleacher Report, there is currently a price of 92,000 USD for a pair of tickets with nice seats to witness the moment LeBron James surpasses Kareem in the match against Oklahoma City Thunder. Besides, according to information compiled by Logitix, Lakers ticket prices for the two matches between Thunder and Bucks also increased significantly, almost 3 times higher than usual.
More specifically, before January 25, the average ticket price for fans to the Lakers’ home match will be about 228 USD/ticket (lowest ticket) for the Thunder match and 397 USD/ticket for the Bucks match. Since January 25, ticket prices increased dramatically to 681 USD/ticket for Oklahoma City Thunder and 674 USD/ticket for Milwaukee Bucks. Since the beginning of February, ticket prices have continued to change when the match with Thunder is only 598 USD/ticket and Bucks is up to 963 USD.
One thing to remember is that the above amount of money is all for the upper rows of seats, very far from the center of the arena to be able to take pictures or see memorable moments of the Lakers star. The above price is completely subject to change as LeBron James still has one more match with the New Orleans Pelicans, taking place this Sunday before returning to his home field to face the Oklahoma City Thunder.
At the present time, 38-year-old LeBron James is averaging 30.2 points per game. LeBron James’ terrible form somehow makes fans even more eager to witness the existing record. Years in the NBA are rushed. For those who love LeBron James in particular, this is truly a moment that hardly anyone wants to miss.
Many young fans also hope to be a part of this special event, but the price for that is truly unbelievable.
“There’s nothing like the experience of attending a live match and creating unforgettable memories alongside family and friends. If you combine those elements with a historic moment, it becomes extremely special. And of course, many people are willing to pay more to enjoy that experience,” shared Mr. Greg Normant, president of Logitix.
Most likely, $92,000 for a pair of tickets is not the highest ticket price until the Los Angeles Lakers return to their home field. Let’s wait and see if there will be another record set on the day LeBron James surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
