NBA Ticket FAQ
How many NBA teams are there?▼
NBA (National Basketball Association) currently has 30 franchises listed on Catch Movement. The NBA is the premier professional basketball league in the world, with 30 franchises across the United States and Canada. Regular season tips off in late October, and the NBA Finals run through mid-June.
When does the NBA season run?▼
Regular season tips off in late October and runs 82 games through mid-April. The Play-In Tournament bridges into a four-round best-of-seven Playoff bracket that ends with the NBA Finals in mid-June. The In-Season Tournament knockout rounds drop in late November and December.
Where can I buy NBA tickets?▼
Click any team above to see live home games and ticket pricing from the official Ticketmaster Discovery API. Pricing, availability, and seat maps refresh every 12 hours.
What's the cheapest way to get NBA tickets?▼
Mid-week home games against rebuilding visitors are the soft spot in NBA pricing. Upper-bowl baseline sections often clear at 60–70% less than lower-bowl seats — and because the court is small, sightlines from the 300-level stay strong throughout the building.
When do NBA playoff tickets go on sale?▼
NBA playoff tickets typically go on sale once each round's matchups are confirmed — usually 24 to 72 hours after the previous round ends. Season-ticket holders get first access; general on-sale opens shortly after on Ticketmaster. The team pages above will surface live playoff inventory as soon as it's released.
What are the best seats for an NBA game?▼
For most NBA venues, lower-bowl centre seats (centre ice, centre court, midfield, behind home plate, or on the 50-yard line) offer the widest sightlines but the highest prices. Upper-bowl centre is the value sweet spot. Behind-the-goal/baseline/endzone sections deliver the loudest atmosphere and are usually the cheapest tier in the lower bowl.
Are NBA tickets refundable?▼
Ticketmaster's standard policy is no refunds unless the game is cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled in a way you can't attend. Verified resale through Ticketmaster's Fan-to-Fan Resale is allowed at venue-permitted prices.
