The 2022 NBA Finals begin Thursday with Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors taking on Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. Judging by the ticket prices, there is a lot of excitement for this matchup.
According to VividSeats, a ticket resale marketplace, Game 1 of the finals (9 p.m. ET on ABC) is the most expensive average ticket price for any event at Chase Center since its opening in 2019.
The current average price sold for the first game of the series is $873, which is over $300 more per ticket than when the Los Angeles Lakers visited the Warriors in February -- and these finals tickets are $300 more expensive than a Metallica concert, played in September, 2019, which had an average price of $542.
