Ticket prices skyrocketed to the match LeBron James broke the NBA scoring record: Only entering the gate lost 11 million
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is set to surpass legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time top scorer in the NBA.
Witnessing this special moment is something many fans wish for, especially fans of LeBron or the Los Angeles Lakers team.
The problem is that the price to enter the field will not be cheap. Even more difficult when fans will have to guess in which match LeBron broke the record.
Currently only need 36 more points to surpass Kareem (38,387 points) and become the all-time top scorer, LeBron James is highly likely to conquer this milestone in the next 2 home matches.
The first match takes place at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, February 8 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Two days later, the Milwaukee Bucks welcome took place at 10:00 am on Friday, February 10.
Both matches will be held at the Crypto.com Arena and admission will not be cheap. The entrance price alone was nearly 300 USD, equivalent to nearly 7 million VND for the Thunder match and 476 USD, equivalent to more than 11 million VND for the Bucks match.

In the Lakers match against the Milwaukee Bucks, this rivalry will have more meaning as the Bucks and Lakers are the only two teams where the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has played, building a scoring record in a 20-year career.
The above is just the average ticket price or the lowest ticket price to be able to enter to watch the match. If you consider expensive tickets such as courtside seats or VIP boxes, each person will have to pay more than 90,000 USD, equivalent to 1.7 billion VND.
In the event that for some reason James is unable to score 36 points in 2 games against the Thunder and Bucks, the next game for the Los Angeles Lakers will be a heroic battle with the defending champion Golden State Warriors away.
The average ticket price for this match currently stands at US$864, about $80 lower than every year. But this is currently the price under the scenario LeBron will break the record at home in the next two games.
Once the "king" can't get past Kareem at home (due to sitting out to rest or for other reasons), ticket prices for the Lakers vs Warriors match will surely skyrocket.
