Okay, so, I’ve been a huge Lakers fan for years, and I finally decided to look into getting season tickets. It’s something I’ve dreamt about, and I figured it was time to see what it would actually take to make it happen. The whole process was a bit of an adventure, so I thought I’d share my experience.
First things first, I started by trying to get a feel for the prices. It’s not like they just have a simple price list out there, you know? I had to do some digging. I found some info online about recent years, like how in 2021, seats in section 210 were going for around $110 per game, which comes out to about $4730 for the whole season. Then I saw that in 2022, section 106 was about $163 per game, or $7009 for the season. Apparently, for the next season, those same seats are going to cost $168 per game, or $7224 a ticket for the season. Man, those numbers made my head spin a bit!
Digging Deeper
But I wasn’t just interested in the regular seats. I started looking into the VIP suites, too. I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch a game from a suite, right? Turns out, those prices can be all over the place. I found that individual VIP tickets in a suite could be anywhere from $200 to $600. For a whole suite for one game, we’re talking $5,000 to a whopping $20,000! It depends on things like who they’re playing, where the suite is, how big it is, and how popular the game is.
Then, to get a better picture, I started comparing the Lakers’ prices to other teams. I stumbled upon some information that said the Knicks’ games are the most expensive to see this winter, at over $700 on average, while the Charlotte Hornets are the cheapest, at around $150. The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics are up there in price, too.
Exploring Other Options
I also looked into buying tickets through other sites, not just the official ones. I read that some sites are good for international buyers, which is pretty cool. Some folks mentioned that these sites have a really good selection of tickets. And then there were listings for resale tickets, with interactive maps so you can see exactly where you’d be sitting.
Beyond Just the Game
It wasn’t just about the game tickets, either. I found some pretty sweet deals for getting to and from the games. Stuff like hotel pickup, mobile tickets, all that jazz. It’s like they’ve thought of everything to make it a whole experience.
My Takeaway
- It’s pricey: No surprises here, getting Lakers season tickets is a serious investment.
- Lots of options: From regular seats to luxury suites, there’s something for (almost) every budget.
- Do your research: Prices vary a lot, so it pays to shop around and compare.
- It’s more than just a game: It seems like there are ways to make it a full-on experience, with transportation and everything taken care of.
So, that’s my journey into the world of Lakers season ticket prices. It’s definitely something I’m still thinking about. It’s a big commitment, but man, it would be amazing to be there for every home game. We’ll see what happens! Maybe I’ll start with a few games and work my way up.
