NBA Preseason Tickets
There’s nothing quite like the first live look at a new NBA season—fresh lineups, new draft picks, and that unmistakable arena buzz as teams ramp up toward opening night. Whether you’ve followed it for years or you’re planning your first one, NBA Preseason tickets put you inside the action before the games start counting in the standings.
This page covers everything you need — from understanding how NBA Preseason works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.
About NBA Preseason
NBA Preseason is the NBA’s annual slate of exhibition basketball games held in the weeks leading into the regular season. Organized by the National Basketball Association, the preseason typically runs from early October up to the start of the regular season in late October, with games played across a national touring schedule at team home arenas, neutral sites across North America, and occasionally overseas as part of NBA Global Games.
Each of the league’s 30 teams generally plays a handful of tune-up games—roughly four to six—giving coaches time to evaluate rosters, integrate new signings and draft picks, test lineups, and build conditioning. The stakes are about preparation and momentum rather than standings, making it a popular window for fans who want an early, lower-pressure way to see NBA basketball live.
Because venues and matchups vary by stop, the preseason experience can range from big-market showdowns to rare neutral-site appearances in markets that don’t host regular-season games. Star power is still a major draw—names like Nikola Jokić, Luka Dončić, Victor Wembanyama, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jayson Tatum are among the recognizable players who can appear in preseason action, even though star minutes are often limited. If you’re planning to attend NBA Preseason, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.
Other NBA Events
Box Office Ticket Sales also carries tickets for other major NBA events throughout the basketball calendar. If you’re building a season of live games—or traveling to catch a marquee matchup—browsing related events is a simple way to compare dates, venues, and seat options in one place.

How Much Do NBA Preseason Tickets Cost?
NBA Preseason tickets typically range from around $10 to $50 for upper-level/general seating to $100–$300+ or more for lower-bowl and premium seats, with premium packages running higher.
Pricing is most influenced by the market and arena, opponent appeal, and seat location, along with whether star players are expected to play (or be rested). Neutral-site and international games can also shift demand due to novelty and limited local supply. For many fans, the best values are often in upper-bowl and baseline/corner sections—especially earlier in the preseason.
No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

NBA Preseason Seating and Arena Information
Because NBA Preseason is played across a rotating slate of NBA arenas, neutral sites, and occasional international stops, seating options vary by location. That said, most NBA arenas share a familiar layout built around the court—making it easier to target the type of view and atmosphere you want, whether you’re going for budget-friendly seats or a premium night out.
Best Ways to Experience NBA Preseason
The right access depends on what kind of game day experience you're after:
- Best value: Upper-bowl seating (including corner and baseline areas) — a lower-cost way to get in the building and follow the full flow of the game
- Closest to the action: Courtside and floor seats — the most up-close view of the speed, physicality, and skill on the court
- Best overall view: Center-court lower-bowl seats along the sidelines (with courtside as the premium reference point) — strong sightlines on the court for seeing sets develop and plays unfold
- For groups and premium experiences: Club levels and private suites — added comfort and privacy for group outings or special occasions
NBA Preseason Seating Chart
You can view an interactive seating map or listing view directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while you browse available listings. The map lets you compare sections and access types side by side, check proximity to the court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before you commit to a purchase.
Can I See Where My Seats Are?
Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy where the event has assigned seating. Use it to get a clear picture of your access, whether you're positioned courtside or in the elevated lower bowl — so the ticket you choose matches what you're actually looking for.
Getting Ready for NBA Preseason Game Day
Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially since most NBA venues rely on mobile ticketing and can get busy as tip-off approaches.
- Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on game days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
- Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
- Arrive early. Doors typically open one to two hours before tip-off. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
- Parking. On-site and nearby parking garages/lots are available at most NBA arenas, typically opening a couple of hours before tip-off.
- Rideshare. Most NBA arenas designate specific rideshare pickup/drop-off zones near the venue.
- Bag policy. Most NBA arenas enforce a clear-bag policy, generally limiting bags to small clutches or clear bags within specified dimensions, while backpacks and large bags are generally prohibited.
- Payment. NBA arenas are predominantly cashless; concessions and merchandise accept cards and mobile payments, with cash-to-card kiosks where cash is still used.
- What to bring. Bring a mobile device for digital tickets, a light layer for arena air conditioning, and team gear—leave large bags at home.
