Paul Pierce will get Sunday’s game to himself after all, and it’s going to cost fans a tidy sum to be there to witness it.
According to an analysis Tuesday by the firm TicketIQ, the average asking price for tickets on the secondary market for the Celtics game Sunday afternoon against the Cleveland Cavaliers, during which Pierce will have his jersey retired, was $1,092.
That figure is more than six times the cost of the average Celtics ticket this season ($154) and makes Sunday’s game the second most expensive in the NBA this season.
