As the New York Post reported on Friday, a seat ticket for Thursday’s game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles costs about $200,000. Other tickets are also offered at the exorbitant price of $92,000.
However, cheaper options are available on the Vivid Seats resale site. It is possible to buy tickets for $353 on the heights of the amphitheater.
If he keeps up with his current pace, James is expected to capture the title of all-time leading scorer in Thursday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Lakers also face the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
Interestingly, Abdul-Jabbar spent six seasons with the Bucks before joining the Lakers.
“King James” is currently 63 points behind the Silver Tour record. Since joining the top basketball circuit in the world in 2003, the Akron, Ohio native has scored 38,325 points.
In 42 games this season, the 38-year-old averages 30.1 points per game.
