Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma Thunder Tuesday tickets are not cheap, here’s why?

A mere 36 more points. All that is required for NBA great LeBron James to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s previous scoring record is that. The Los Angeles Lakers small forward, 38, has a good chance of accomplishing this once-thought-to-be-impossible milestone on Tuesday, Feb. 7, against the Oklahoma Thunder on his home floor at Crypto.Com Arena.

Prior to Saturday’s defeat to the Pelicans, StubHub reported that ticket prices for the Thunder game and the Bucks game are, respectively, 50% and 70% higher than the Lakers’ season average.

In order for true fans to be able to claim, “I was there when,” Adam Budelli, a representative for StubHub, noted that the anticipation of a sports legend reaching a historical milestone frequently drastically boosts ticket sales.

LeBron James is on track to smash the NBA’s all-time regular-season scoring record, and as a result, the Lakers are the league’s hottest ticket. Their games against the Thunder and Bucks are the two most popularly attended NBA games this week.

According to Vivid Seats, lower-level tickets for the Oklahoma City Thunder game on Tuesday in Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena start at $1,634 each. Prices for floor tickets on Ticketmaster range from $415 to $1,000. According to Vivid Seats, the average price of a Lakers game has increased by 211% this season.

The cost of Lakers tickets this week increases with proximity to the action, as it does with any live event. For Tuesday’s game, Vivid Seats lists two seats behind the basket at $69,162 apiece and two more nine rows back at $42,845.
