TICKETS
Getting tickets.
Official Spurs Tickets — spurs.com
Buy direct for guaranteed authentic tickets. Season schedule posted in September. Best selection early in the season.
StubHub / SeatGeek
Best for last-minute tickets and comparing prices. Prices spike when the Spurs are winning. Shop a few days before if you're flexible.

TICKET PRICE GUIDE
Upper level: $30–80 · Lower level: $80–200+ · Courtside: $500–2,000+
Prices vary significantly by opponent. Games against the Lakers, Celtics, and Warriors command premium. Midweek games against smaller markets are the best value.
