"Before James' post, the least-expensive ticket for the April 12, 2026, game against the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com Arena started at $82. After James' post, prices spiked, with single tickets starting at $580 each, per Vivid Seats. For two tickets to the Jazz-Lakers matchup, the cheapest get-in price starts at $760. The ticket-price surge occurred as fans speculated that this could be James' last season."
""It's pretty cool to know how many miles I've got and still be able to play at a high level," James said. "For me, age is kind of just a number, but it is reality, too. You look at the history of the game, there's not been many guys at my age, especially going into Year 23, that have been able to play at a level like that. I just try not to take it for granted and just try to give the game as much as I can, inspire whoever I can.""
LeBron James posted a cryptic "The Second Decision" message on social media, triggering a large spike in ticket prices for the April 12, 2026, Lakers-Jazz game at Crypto.com Arena. Ticket listings rose from a pre-post low of $82 to single tickets starting at $580 and pair get-ins beginning at $760, according to Vivid Seats. Fans linked the surge to speculation that the season could be James' final one, though James tempered retirement talk at NBA media days and said he is excited to play another season while acknowledging the reality of aging. James, 40, prepares for his 23rd NBA season and eighth with the Lakers, who open Oct. 21 against the Warriors.
