LeBron James Decision Ultimately Impacts Season Ticket Holders

LeBron James announced earlier this week that he would exercise his early termination option and thus become a free agent on July 1. And while the pundits sit back and speculate where James will ultimately play basketball, there are fans in Miami and around the nation trying to figure out where the NBA superstar will take his skills. Forecasting where LeBron goes could result in a substantial payoff for the average season ticket holder.

When LeBron James left Cleveland in 2010 to join the Miami Heat, the south beach organization saw their game tickets sales rise from 90.4% to more than 100% per game. Just days after LeBron made his move, the Heat announced they sold out their season ticket inventory. And while Miami Heat fans have already made their season ticket commitment to the 2014-2015 season, many interested clubs have a “vacancy” of available tickets.

We have already seen the articles touting the benefits of LeBron to various teams around the league from the Chicago Bulls to the Houston Rockets to the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers to LeBron’s original team in Cleveland. Season ticket holders are generally obligated to renew the next season when they pay for playoff options. So season ticket holders for Rockets and Clippers games are already committed to next year. But many Lakers and Cavs fans have opted out for next year. If LeBron were to don either of those uniforms, you can thoroughly expect ticket prices to skyrocket.

The lucky season ticket holders won’t have won the Powerball but certainly the next best thing in the sports world. And while we don’t recommend buying a season ticket based on the LeBron speculation, we know those that hold the lucky ticket will be very happy fans!  And of course, if you don’t have seasons, you can always get your tickets from us at www.cheapseatstickets.com
