Excitement Surrounds Upcoming Las Vegas Summer League Game
The upcoming Las Vegas Summer League game featuring prospects Cooper Flagg and Bronny James is generating significant buzz, with ticket prices reflecting this excitement. As of Tuesday, Vivid Seats reported that the average price for tickets to Thursday’s game, scheduled for 8 p.m. ET and broadcast on ESPN, has soared to $223.
For those looking for budget options, tickets start at $85, but the premium experience is steeply priced, with the highest tickets reaching $3,073 for access to the Michelob Ultra Courtside Deck. Calculating availability, it’s notable that fewer than 1% of tickets remain as interest peaks.
Record-Breaking Matchup
This matchup is poised to break records, as it is projected to have the highest average ticket price for this year’s summer league, surpassing the $297 average from Victor Wembanyama’s debut last summer. Thursday’s game will mark Flagg’s first outing in the league after being selected first overall by the Dallas Mavericks in last month’s draft. In contrast, James has already made a brief appearance in the summer league, scoring 10 points against the Miami Heat during the California Classic last Sunday.
Additional Matchups and Ticket Information
Additionally, the Los Angeles Lakers, who are set to compete against the San Antonio Spurs at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday, will soon head to Las Vegas for this highly anticipated game.
It’s important to note that in the Las Vegas Summer League, tickets are sold daily, not for individual games. Alongside Flagg vs. James, another notable matchup on Thursday afternoon includes No. 2 pick Ace Bailey going against No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe, although Edgecombe has been sidelined due to a thumb bruise, casting some uncertainty on his participation.
