How to buy Boston Celtics tickets
Original standard Boston Celtics tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, the NBA's official ticketing partner. Due to the high demand for playoff games, original tickets are hard to come by, so you might have better luck looking on resale sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats. These sites have a variety of tickets available for every game, both definitive and contingent.
How much are Boston Celtics tickets?
The cheapest available original standard ticket for the first Celtics game of Round 2 is $259.50. Overall, resale tickets tend to have more variety in pricing and usually start a bit cheaper than original tickets. StubHub's cheapest listing for Game 1 is $101, and Vivid Seats' cheapest listing for the same date is $97.
At the time of writing, all of the cheapest Vivid Seats tickets start a little bit lower than those on StubHub, except Game 3, for which both websites offer similarly cheap listings. Celtics vs. Cavaliers games tend to have cheaper starting prices in Cleveland, as opposed to those that take place in Boston.
