<p>Ticket marketplace StubHub says demand for NBA tickets is up 65% this year with every team seeing increased interest.</p>
<p>Core players returning to New York and Los Angeles teams are driving huge demand and prove both cities are epicenters of the sport, while the Celtics and Warriors – fresh off their Finals matchup in June – rank as the #4 and #5 in demand teams, respectively. With some of the league&#8217;s youngest stars coming into their own, the upstart Cavaliers and Mavericks ride the momentum of key acquisitions to see huge increases in sales.</p>
<p><b>Key highlights include</b>:</p>
<ul >
<li><b>New <span class="xn-org">York</span> and Los Angeles Dominate the Top Teams and Games</b>
<ul >
<li>NY and LA teams play in nine of the season&#8217;s top 10 games and account for nearly 40% of all NBA ticket sales</li>
<li>The New York Knicks dethroned the Los Angeles Lakers as StubHub&#8217;s #1 best-selling team for the first time in StubHub&#8217;s five season previews</li>
<li>The Lakers are the #2 team and play in five of the top 10 games – the most of any team, while ticket demand for the Los Angeles Clippers has more than doubled since 2021</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Celtics Outpace the Warriors in Overall Demand, While Golden State Claims #1 Game of the Season</b>
<ul >
<li>The Boston Celtics are the #4 team and drive nearly 40% greater ticket sales than the Golden State Warriors, who land at #5</li>
<li>Warriors vs. Knicks on <span class="xn-chron">December 20</span> is the season&#8217;s best-selling game</li>
<li>Golden State is StubHub&#8217;s #2 top-trending team, garnering nearly 5x more ticket sales compared to sales ahead of last season</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Young Superstars Drive Huge Jumps in Demand for Cavaliers and Mavericks</b>
<ul >
<li>The Cleveland Cavaliers are the #1 top-trending team, achieving the biggest jump in demand – sales have increased by more than 600% since 2021</li>
<li>The Dallas Mavericks make StubHub&#8217;s top 10 teams for the first time and claim nearly 4x the demand compared to last season, on the heels of their playoff run</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;The new NBA season is seeing a massive 65 percent jump in ticket sales on StubHub compared to last year, anchored by New York and Los Angeles teams,&#8221; said <span class="xn-person">Adam Budelli</span>, spokesperson for StubHub. &#8220;With the lifting of COVID restrictions that impacted the start of last season in some major markets, the Warriors and Raptors return to prominence on this year&#8217;s list of top-selling teams and join the Celtics, Cavaliers and Mavericks in contributing to increased demand across the league.&#8221;</p>
