The Philadelphia 76ers have become the most talked-about team in the NBA this summer. Shortly after acquiring Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics, the club made another monumental move, signing LeBron James as a free agent.
The arrival of the four-time champion ignited a frenzy among Philadelphia fans, and the team's newfound appeal immediately impacted the ticket market.
According to data from TickPick, the average price for 76ers home game tickets last season was $68.
Now, the cheapest tickets for the first preseason game start at $283 – an increase of over four times compared to last season's average prices.
SeatGeek reports a similar trend. The lowest price for the preseason clash against the Boston Celtics has surged from $107 to $540, a clear testament to the immense interest in the revamped Philadelphia 76ers following LeBron James's arrival.
