    Terrific

    I like that you can do installment payments with affirm. Wish you can choose your seating like ticket master. I use both but this here helps with the larger bill to spread out and pay off overtime.

About New Orleans Pelicans Tickets

The Pelicans moved from Charlotte to New Orleans in 2002, and NBA basketball returned to the city for the first time since the New Orleans Jazz relocated to Utah at the end of the 1970s. The Pelicans originally kept their previous name, the Hornets, after they moved. The New Orleans Hornets made the playoffs in their first two years back in Louisiana. Because of damage to their arena and surrounding floods following Hurricane Katrina, the Hornets were forced to play most of the 2005-06 and 2006-07 in Oklahoma City, and the team called itself the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. They moved back to New Orleans full time for the 2007-08 season, and the Pelicans currently play at the Smoothie King Center. For the 2013-14 season, the team changed its name to the New Orleans Pelicans, after the state bird of Louisiana. In the meantime, a new team—the Bobcats—had formed in Charlotte. The Bobcats reassumed the Hornets’ name and the history of the original franchise when it was located in Charlotte from 1988-2002). The NBA officially recognizes the Pelicans as having formed in 2002, when the team moved to New Orleans.

How much are New Orleans Pelicans tickets?

Ticket prices for New Orleans Pelicans games depend on several factors, and they can range widely. Key determinants include seating location, opponent, game importance, and demand. Premium seats, such as courtside or VIP sections, command significantly higher prices than upper deck or standard seating. Games featuring high-profile matchups, rivalries, or playoff implications will generally cost more.

Some of the main influences on ticket prices for Pelicans ticket sare:

  • Opponent and importance:Pelicans games against strong or popular teams typically cost more. Rivalry games, weekend or prime-time contests, and postseason play tend to draw higher demand.

  • Seating location: Proximity to the court, club, or lower bowl access, and amenities (e.g., sideline views, VIP lounges) substantially affect cost.

  • Venue and market size: Arenas in larger media markets or with more amenities often have higher base prices. Venue capacity, infrastructure, and premium features add to value.

  • Timing and demand dynamics: Prices often fluctuate with supply and demand. As availability decreases or demand increases (e.g., as game day nears), prices may rise. Conversely, less Pelicans popular games or advance-purchase tickets may offer savings.
