The New Orleans Pelicans are excited as any to get next season underway, as the team now has a year of playoff experience under their belt after getting knocked out by last season’s champions in the first round. With Anthony Davis already considered one of the game’s superstars, the Pelicans are building a perennial playoff contender in the Western Conference.
Last week, the NBA schedule was released as fans of teams can eye some of the standout games on the calendar. With the schedule release, New Orleans Pelicans tickets on the secondary market have been released as well. With information provided by TiqIQ.com, below are some of the most expensive games of the upcoming season.
3/14/2016 | Golden State Warriors vs. New Orleans Pelicans | Oracle Arena | Average Price: $645.59 | Get-in Price: $98
10/27/2015 | Golden State Warriors vs. New Orleans Pelicans | Oracle Arena | Average Price: $555.55 | Get-in Price: $212
As mentioned earlier, the Pelicans were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors in last season’s first round of the playoffs, but it ended up being an experience the Pelicans look to build on as the majority of games were competitive throughout. Tickets for entrance into Oracle Arena this season will be hard to come by, as they are predictably the majority of Golden State’s most expensive game next season. It’s worth the trek for out-of-town fans, however, as Oracle exhibits one of the best basketball atmospheres around the country.
4/5/2016 | Philadelphia 76ers vs. New Orleans Pelicans | Wells Fargo Center | Average Price: $280.82 | Get-in Price: $14
This is a surprise to see the 76ers so high on the most expensive tickets list but it is no lie. Perhaps the 76ers buzz is a little more than expected, with an average price of $280.82 to see “The Brow” and company come to Philadelphia. Flights from New Orleans can be booked through Hipmunk.com to get to any road game throughout the season as the No. 1 travel resource for NBA fans.
12/4/15 | New Orleans Pelicans vs. Cleveland Cavaliers | Smoothie King Center | Average Price: $198.18 | Get-in Price: $33
The most expensive home game of the season is to see LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are looking to return to the NBA Finals for a second consecutive season, and this time with a fully healthy roster. Out-of-town Pelicans fans looking to see a game at the Smoothie King Center with two of the top-five players on the planet can book New Orleans hotels on Hipmunk, currently starting from $59 per night.
