The average ticket price for a Lakers game has jumped 211% since the season started, Vivid Seats told CBS MoneyWatch.
As with any live event, Lakers tickets this week are pricier the closer seats get to the action. Two tickets behind the hoops for Tuesday's game are priced on Vivid Seats at $69,162 each, while another pair of tickets nine rows back are $42,845.
Steve Inman, a social media manager, already has a seat to to Tuesday's game despite living on the opposite side of the country. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, resident said he will attend with his uncle, who is a Lakers' season ticket holder. "I don't believe anyone is ever going to break his record," Inman, 30, told CBS MoneyWatch of James' exploits."For the rest of our lives, he's going to have this record. I'll be able to witness this and share it with my family, my future kids and their kids forever."
If James doesn't break the record Tuesday, his next opportunity will come on February 9 when the Lakers host the Milwaukee Bucks. Prices for those tickets have shot up from $474 in October to $2,595 on Tuesday, a 447% increase, according to Vivid Seats. "Fans think LeBron is unlikely to score 36 points against the Thunder and is more likely to break the record against the Bucks," the company told CBS MoneyWatch.
