How much are tickets to Kings vs Warriors? See prices of regular season’s last home game
The Sacramento Kings have one more home game as they prepare for their first playoff game since 2006 — and tickets are selling out fast.
The Kings (48-32) will take on the Golden State Warriors (42-38) at 7 p.m. Friday at Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento. Then the play-in tournament kicks off on April 11 and the playoffs begin shortly after on April 15.
Playoff tickets were available as early as March — depending on where you looked — but the NBA hasn’t solidified game details like dates, times and teams as the regular season continues.
The Kings announced Thursday that playoff tickets will post noon Monday, according to previous Bee reporting.
Here’s what we found, as of Friday morning for the King’s last home game of the season. A quick caveat: Ticket prices change rapidly, and range depending on access and view.
