Mavs rookie Flagg’s NBA Summer League debut proving to be hot ticket
The NBA Summer League showdown pitting No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks against the Los Angeles Lakers and Bronny James is proving to be a hot ticket.
The first day of the event Thursday, which is headlined by the Mavericks-Lakers game at 5 p.m. at Thomas & Mack Center, has an average listing price of $223, according to secondary ticket marketplace Vivid Seats. That’s comparable to the average listing price of the 2023 NBA Summer League featuring San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama ($297).
UNLV’s ticket website, the official ticket seller for NBA Summer League, noted by Wednesday evening that not many general admission tickets were left for Thursday’s eight-game slate at Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion.
General admission tickets are $71 with fees and taxes included. Reserved seats that are closer to the court were sold out for Thursday and cost $341.
Some of the higher-end Michelob Ultra Courtside VIP deck tickets were still available for $703 with fees and taxes included. Tickets to the VIP space include access to a full-service bar, gourmet snacks and a premium view of the action overlooking the court.
The NBA Summer League features all 30 NBA teams and runs through July 20. A total of 126,220 fans attended last year’s event.
