Call it Steph Curry vs. LeBron James Part V or the first playoff series between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers since 1991.
No matter how you slice it, it’s going to cost a pretty penny to see it in person.
Even the cheapest tickets for Games 1, 2 and 5 at Chase Center are going for at least $350 a pop, whether fans are looking on StubHub (opens in new tab), TickPick (opens in new tab) or through official NBA resale partner Ticketmaster (opens in new tab). Three hours ahead of Tuesday night’s series opener, Gametime did have some tickets available for less than $300 (opens in new tab), but they were in short supply.

The most affordable tickets available are, of course, in the upper level. At Chase Center, those seats are above not only the lower bowl, but dozens of suites and club areas. To get in the lower bowl, where fans won’t need binoculars to distinguish between LeBron James and Anthony Davis, it’ll cost roughly $200 more.
