76ers Preseason Ticket Prices Surge 142% After LeBron James Signing

Following LeBron James's announcement that he will join the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal, secondary ticket marketplace TickPick reports that the 'get-in' price for his preseason home debut against the Boston Celtics on October 16 has reached $165. This is 142% higher than the average $68 purchase price for 76ers regular season home games in the 2025-26 season. Some non-premium tickets have hit $589. TickPick co-CEO Brett Goldberg attributes the spike to the 'LeBron Effect,' noting that fans recognize limited opportunities to see the 23-year NBA veteran. The article also notes that other preseason games remain well below $100, and predicts the average purchase price for 76ers home games this season will be 40% higher than last season.
