NBA Summer League Las Vegas: Where To Buy Tickets
By Eric Yee
Las Vegas Summer League is just a few days away, here is everything you need to know about where to purchase tickets for the games at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion
For first time NBA Summer League watchers, the process can be fairly confusing so we’re here to clear any confusion up.
Las Vegas Summer League will feature 24 of the leagues’ 30 teams and will begin on Friday, July 8 at 3 PM PST. The 67 game tournament will feature 2016 top draft picks Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram and Jaylen Brown who are set to headline the action, as well as sophomore standouts the likes of D’Angelo Russell, Devin Booker and Emmanuel Mudiay.

Quickly glancing over the set schedule some of the best match-ups include the Minnesota Timberwolves taking on the Denver Nuggets on Friday, July 8 at 5:30PM PST, the Los Angeles Lakers versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, July 9 at 5:30PM PST and the Phoenix Suns versus the Boston Celtics on Sunday, July 10 at 7:30 PM PST.
It should come as no surprise that all three of these games are scheduled to take place at the bigger Thomas & Mack Center rather than the Cox Pavilion.
Going through the NBA’s official site in order to avoid scammers, you are re-routed to UNLVtickets where you can purchase tickets in package form or individually for prices ranging anywhere from $11 for kids, $21 for adult admission and $346 for guaranteed courtside seating.
After taxes and fees, the price for a general admission adult ticket comes out to about $33 a pop which is extremely cheap considering “each ticket gets you access to up to 8 games in 1 day.”
With ticket prices for regular season games rising almost exponentially every single year, Summer League represents a great way for you to see your favorite up-and-coming stars without breaking the bank… and it’s in Vegas.
