How much are tickets to Kings vs Warriors game? See prices for 1st home game of the season
The Sacramento Kings will open the 2023-24 NBA regular season on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, but the attention seems to be on their rematch against their revival: the Golden State Warriors.
The Sacramento Kings will return to downtown Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center on Friday for their first home game of the regular season — and tickets aren’t cheap. The game starts at 7 p.m.
The Kings went 0-4 in the preseason with back-to-back losses against the Warriors.
Kings coach Mike Brown said he has “zero tolerance” for bad defense after the team advanced to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2006, according to Sacramento Bee reporting.
Here’s what The Sacramento Bee found for tickets, as of Wednesday morning, for the Kings’ first home game of the 2023-24 season. A quick caveat: Ticket prices change rapidly, and range depending on access and view.
Ticketmaster
Ticketmaster is known to offer some of the highest protection when purchasing tickets.
Reliability will cost you.
Tickets to the Kings versus Warriors game on Friday, Oct. 27, cost between $107 to $3,500 for a single ticket, excluding taxes and fees.
The Michelob Ultra Club —an unreserved general admission standing room and the cheapest way to watch the game inside the arena — is sold out.
Gametime
Gametime sells “on-time and authentic” last-minute tickets to concerts, sports and theater.
If you find cheaper tickets somewhere else, Gametime credits your account for future purchases, according to its website. Just remember the company prices tickets for however much it likes, meaning prices may be set above or below face value.
Tickets to the Kings versus Warriors game cost between $80 and $2,397 for one ticket.
A tip: Purchase your ticket as soon as the game starts. Typically the cost is further discounted.
StubHub
Tickets to the first home game of the regular season are selling fast on StubHub, according to its website.
Seats to the Kings versus Warriors game range from $90 to $4,386 for a single ticket.
SeatGeek
Similar to ticket platforms like Gametime and StubHub, the closer you buy your tickets to game time, the cheaper they typically cost you on SeatGeek.
Tickets to the Kings versus Warriors game cost between $86 and $2,580.
Vividseats

Sacramento Kings ticket exchange Reddit forum
The r/Kings TicketExchange Reddit forum, created in 2016, is regularly used by Kings fans to buy and sell game tickets.
Full disclosure: This is one of the cheapest ways to buy tickets — also the riskiest.
“R/KingsTicketExchange is not responsible for any items sold or purchased through this sub! Purpose of this sub is to have a place to buy/sell tickets without the insane fees!,” the Reddit user wrote on its forum.
The forum has roughly 2,000 members and has a list of “top trusted sellers.”
Golden 1 Center box office
Golden 1 Center’s box office at 500 David J Stern Walk sells Kings tickets at prices similar to Ticketmaster, without the additional fees.
The box office is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to showtime during weekend events.
The catch: Tickets must be purchased in person at the box office.
The box office can be reached at 916-701-5401 during business hours.
