The excitement is understandable. After all, it is only the second time in history for both the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder (since their move from Seattle). The team with the best regular season record, the Western Conference champion Thunder, were here in 2012, but the Pacers have not been here since 2000.
The 2025 NBA Finals will break some records on the court, but for that we will have to wait until play begins. What we won’t have to wait for is to see how ticket prices have skyrocketed.
According to the ticket sales website Tick Pick, the first game of the final, scheduled for Thursday night, starts at $712 for the cheapest ticket. That is the record to watch a game of either team in the NBA. And according to Tick Pick, there are not many tickets left for the start of the final.
Already during the Western Conference Finals against the Wolves, in Game 5, the Thunder reached their record for the cheapest ticket, which they now surpass for the NBA Finals. We are talking about $712 to watch the game from the back rows. Near the court, tickets are already exceeding $3,000.
It is estimated that if the opponent had been the Knicks, a team from a stronger market like New York, ticket prices would have been even higher.
The price forecasts for the cheapest tickets for the Finals matches are as follows:
Game 1 in Oklahoma: $712
Game 2 in Oklahoma: $759
Game 3 in Indiana: $689
Game 4 in Indiana: $914
Game 5 in Oklahoma: $1,080
Game 6 in Indiana: $1,267
Game 7 in Oklahoma: $1,386
It should be remembered that we are talking about the cheapest tickets and that their price will rise as the games get closer. Surely in the clashes in which there is a possible title at stake (especially if it is at home), the prices will skyrocket even more. And we will have to be attentive to the madness that will be paid in the best located localities. After all, it’s the NBA Finals and, for Oklahoma and Indiana fans, it’s a unique moment.
