Open Market Tickets

What are Open Market Tickets?

Open market tickets are tickets that are allowed to fluctuate per market demands. In truth the tickets are worth as much as tickets purchasers want to pay. Tickets Basketball (TicketsBasketball.com) allows fans to purchase tickets directly from other ticket holders, often at prices below face value.

  • If tickets are in low demand (such as preseason, a week night or a less desirable team), you may see below market values advertised on TicketsBasketball.com. Purchase and enjoy. You scored!
  • If tickets are in high demand (such as playoff tickets or a popular team is in town), ticket prices may exceed face value. We usually have these tickets, but they cost a surplus.

Can I get Basketball tickets under face value?

The answer is tied to the demand for Basketball Tickets. If an event is in high demand, prices go up. If an event decreases in demand, prices go down. What we typically observe is that prices climb when scalpers purchase the tickets to resell (as tickets go on sale). If demand is not good, scalpers will liquidate their remaining tickets close to the event date leading to cheap basketball ticket prices. In some cities, demand is not good for basketball tickets, in other cities basketball tickets are gold and in heavy demand. Also depends on the day of the week. If you are patient, can attend on weekdays… certainly you can get cheap tickets.

For many basketball events, including big events , ticket prices may fall the last few days before the event, especially on the day of the event.
