"Going into the 2026-27 season, the Lakers have a steep price hike planned for their tickets. Online basketball personality Rob Perez detailed what it will cost him with a post on X on Friday, writing that there will be a 14% increase on the cost of seats in his section and the team will tack on an additional 3% administrative fee if the invoice is not paid in full at the start."
"Another longtime Lakers season-ticket holder, with seats in the 300 level, contacted ESPN and showed documentation of an even more exorbitant price increase to keep his tickets. The season-ticket holder in the 300 level had the price for his seats jump from $6,192 in 2025-26 to $9,035 for '26-27; the price in 2024-25 was $5,494. That is a 45.9% hike going into next season compared with a 12.7% hike in the last renewal cycle."
Mark Walter purchased the Lakers at a $10 billion valuation and renewal forms for season-ticket holders reflect steep price increases for 2026-27. Reported changes include a 14% increase for one section and an additional 3% administrative fee for invoices not paid in full at the start. A 300-level season-ticket example rose from $5,494 (2024-25) to $6,192 (2025-26) and to $9,035 for 2026-27, a 45.9% jump compared with a 12.7% increase in the previous cycle. The Lakers said pricing updates reflect the current market landscape and demand. Arena attendance has been about 99.8% capacity. Longtime business operations president Tim Harris will step down at season end.
