Lakers’ ticket prices soar after the publication of LeBron James on social networks

The enigmatic publication of LeBron James “the second decision” on social networks on Monday has skyrocketed the tickets for the last home match of the Los Angeles Los Angeles 2025-26.

Before James’ message, the cheapest ticket for the match of April 12, 2026 against the Utah Jazz at the Crypto.com Arena started at $ 82.

After James’ message, prices climbed, with single tickets starting at $ 580 each, by Vivid Seats.

For two tickets for the Jazz-Lakers match, the cheapest entry price starts at $ 760.

The prize for ticket prices occurred when fans speculated that it could be the last season of James. Despite speculation, James minimized the notions of retirement during the NBA media days last week.

“I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to be able to play the game that I like for another season,” said James. “Whatever the course of the trip this year, I am very invested because I don’t know when the end is. I know it’s much earlier than late.”

James, 40, is preparing for his 23rd season and his eighth season, NBA record, with the Lakers.

“It’s pretty cool to know how many kilometers I have traveled while being able to play at a high level,” said James. “For me, age is only a figure, but it is also reality. If you look at the story of the game, there have not been many guys my age, especially in 23rd year, who were able to play at a level like that. I just try not to take it for granted and I simply try to give the game as much as I can, to inspire who I can.”

Lakers will open the season against the Golden State Warriors at home on October 21.
