Cleveland Cavaliers
LeBron James’ Absence Hurts Ticket Value
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ ouster from the NBA playoffs sparked financial repercussions for fans trying to buy or sell tickets to the Eastern Conference finals as well as for teams that might land LeBron James as a free agent.
Average ticket prices for the Orlando Magic’s home games in the secondary resale market “dropped immediately” to $154 from $177 when the playoff opponent was the Boston Celtics, says Russell D’Souza, co-chief executive officer of SeatGeek.
According to StubHub, fans are paying an average of $178 for tickets to the upcoming two games in Boston. (Fans are trying to buy NBA Finals tickets with the Celtics up 2-0 on the Magic.)
