[Reynolds] The good people at @TickPick tell us that the average get-in-the-door price for Game 1 of Warriors-Kings on Saturday is $821 — which would make it the most expensive Round 1 playoff game on record.

Kings deserves it.
Absolutely disgusting
The Loyal Fanbase vs the Largest Bandwagon Fanbase in Nba History.
Most of the fans in the Chase Center would be Kings fans…😳
The demend is insane
Yikes
don’t give ticketmaster any ideas
Can actual fans actually afford this or is it just rich people ruining the hype for real fans? Cause almost a band for game 1 is insanity
Guarantee you can get a ticket for like 350 on game day or the night before
That’s fucking ridiculous.
World Cup Final tickets didn’t cost that much lol
Me as a lowly nuggs fan getting rd 1 tickets for $90…
I work at TickPick and this tweet wasn’t worded properly… $800 is the average purchase price for all tickets purchased so far. Demand popped even more yesterday with all the coverage on the game and the get-in price is around ~ $500. I do expect prices to drop in the next two days as the hype fades a little. Regardless, it’s going to be a very expensive ticket with this being the Kings first playoff game in 16 years, close proximity to SF, and an electric matchup between two great teams.
This is only the cost because of how expensive it is to keep lighting the FUCKEN BEAM!!! Lets go!!! Kings in 7 so we can see that beam lit the fuck up 4 times at home!
Well well well, the kings make the playoffs one fuckin time and immediately out-evil the Lakers with their ticket prices.
The price you pay for success in beautiful, scenic downtown Sacramento.
As someone who helps run r/kingsticketexchange let me tell y’all this is being done my Kings SZN ticket holders. Not anything else. They charged a lot of people a shit ton of money for playoff tickets unless you’ve had SZN tickets for a while.
For example I had SZN tickets for 5 years took a break and got them again a few weeks ago my entire playoff run will cost 14,500
They break it down into playoff strips
Round 1 is 293$ per lower level seat which is 1200$ so both my tickets about 2400
round 2 it goes up to like 350
round 3 475
finals is 725
Congrats loyal Kings fans lmao
ngl, dreading the ticket prices for the first home game when the Sonics return.
“Hey kings fan thanks for sticking with the team and supporting them through an almost 2 decade playoff drought but now that were here you can stay outside and enjoy the beam you broke fucks”
Congrats Kings fans, y’all are suffering from success
Some expensive beam lightings
For that price they better add a premium cowbell.
That price alone is half in what I make in a month usually. God damn
They need to pay that ridiculous electricity bill from The Beam
Sheeesh light the beam
truly the golden 1 center ! the kings court !
Reposting my fucking rage post about how the Kings fucked us with their inept pre-sale bullshit.

The beam tax.
Are these aftermarket asking prices or actually sold prices?
remember this is because scalpers have control of events like this. its awful.
It’s called price gouging
I bought game 6 of the bucks NBA finals for about that much jeez
Fake news. I know a TickPick employee and they have exactly zero good people.
I went to the last Finals game in Boston last season for less than that. Insane.
And I thought $95 for the grizzlies game 2 was bad.
This isn’t something to brag about.
