Cleveland Cavaliers fans are going to have to fork out some proper money if they want to see their Golden Child LeBron James play.
According to CBS Sports, Cavs ticket prices have risen by an average of $100. Fork out indeed.
In the secondary ticket market, however, prices are rising across the board. At Stubhub, Cleveland Cavalier transactions are up 4,150 percent year over year, with an average ticket price of $184—almost $100 more than last season. Meanwhile, King James’ former team, the Miami Heat, is seeing the opposite effect: Ticket prices there have fallen about $15 from last year.
On TiqIQ, the current average price for a Cavs game is $421, the highest price in the NBA and more than a 250 percent increase since the beginning of last year.
$184? That’s a high ticket price. I can’t wait to see their Playoff prices. Wouldn’t be surprised if it hits 200.
A 250% increase is a little disturbing don’t you think? I know the team is stacked now but this is bordering ridiculous.
