StubHub FanStats(SM) -- NBA Playoff Tickets Yield Bargains for Savvy Fans

The NBA Playoffs are heating up and fans are buying tickets in mass quantities for all the exciting action around the league. While demand has been very high, prices have stayed pleasantly reasonable. Overall, the average price for seats to all NBA playoff games sold at StubHub has been $130. While that may be a bit over the average regular season game, fans who have shopped at the StubHub ticket marketplace have been rewarded by finding many value priced tickets. The dynamic of the marketplace means ticket prices fluctuate hourly with active sellers pricing their tickets competitively to sell and the great deals moving quickly.

"It's important for fans to realize that there are many bargains to be had in the secondary ticket market," said Jeff Fluhr, founder and CEO of StubHub. "As we see by the FanStats data, many tickets for top events can still sell for well below the face value at times. These bargains are a great example of the potential for value for fans who shop for tickets at StubHub."
