The excitement surrounding Bronny James’ G League debut with the South Bay Lakers has led to skyrocketing ticket prices, leaving many fans frustrated.
Bronny, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, is set to make his first appearance with the Lakers’ G League affiliate on Saturday against the Salt Lake City Stars. Tickets for the game sold out almost immediately, and the cheapest available tickets on the secondary market are now around $200. Some tickets have even reached prices as high as $700 for premium seating.
Bronny has seen limited playing time with the Los Angeles Lakers this season, appearing in only four games and averaging minimal stats. Despite this, his high-profile name and media attention have driven immense interest in his career, contributing to the surge in ticket prices.
In comparison, tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday were available for as low as $100.
