Tickets to the possible record-breaking games have increased up to 305%.
As LeBron James closes in on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time career scoring record, ticket holders for several of the Los Angeles Lakers’ upcoming games are looking to cash in on the increased demand to see the record broken in person.
Per data provided to Front Office Sports from Vivid Seats, tickets to the Lakers’ home game on Feb. 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder — the first game where James is projected to eclipse the 38,387-point plateau — are selling for $952 on average. Due to the star factor surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo and the perennially contending Bucks, those tickets were selling for $474 on average at the beginning of the season. With James chasing the record, that average is up to $1,294 — a 173% increase.
