It cost way much more to watch a NBA match than it cost to watch a Premier League game.

The NBA is said to cost too much for an average American but does it really cost a lot when compared to the English Premier League ticket? 

 

The NBA is the most respected sports event in the United States of America and an average American will give everything to watch his favorite team play. The average ticket for an NBA game now cost $51.02. This is according to the Team Marketing Report, which monitors the business of sports leagues.

 

The most interesting thing is that as high as it is, those tickets get sold out every time at every arena. In the English Premier League it was found out that more than 53% pay £30 or less on a matchday. In the 2021/2022season an average ticket goes for £32. That's equivalent to $43.02.

 

It is obvious that it cost way much more to get a ticket to an NBA game than it cost to watch a Premier League match. The reason for the high cost of NBA games cannot be ascertained, but the fact that every game is sold out shows the popularity and the importance to the American populace. In England you can get discounts as an early bird or get a season ticket to cut costs.
