About 2026-2027 New Orleans Pelicans Tickets
The Pelicans are entering their 25th season of NBA basketball, and this year feels like a genuine turning point. New head coach Jamahl Mosley, who turned the Orlando Magic from a 21-win rebuilding project into a perennial playoff team, brings a defense-first philosophy and a proven track record of developing young talent. With franchise cornerstone Zion Williamson coming off his healthiest season in years, scoring leader Trey Murphy III , and exciting second-year players Derik Queen and Jeremiah Fears ready to take the next step, this roster has the kind of upside that makes every home game worth watching.
A night at the Smoothie King Center — affectionately known as "The Blender" by locals — is unlike anything else in the NBA, because this is New Orleans and nothing here is ordinary. Brass bands greet you outside the gates, the arena pulses with Crescent City energy, and the whole experience sits right in the heart of a downtown where world-class food, live music, and nightlife are steps away.
The New Orleans Pelicans have never won an NBA championship.
The Pelicans’ biggest rival right now is considered to be the Memphis Grizzlies.
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 tickets are:
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.

SeatGeek is your best bet if you’re looking for cheap New Orleans Pelicans tickets. On SeatGeek, fans of the Pelicans can track price trends in real-time and take advantage of price drops that often occur in the final hours before a game (make sure you click the heart icon on the event you want to attend to "track" it!).
Here are a few tips to getting the cheapest Pelicans tickets:
Watch the clock: Pelicans ticket prices often dip in the final hours leading up to tip-off
Factors like performance of the Pelicans , and unexpected lineup changes due to player injuries can also influence ticket prices, sometimes creating opportunities for fans to find great deals at the last minute.
While ticket prices for big-time rivalry games or playoff-implication matchups may rise as tip-off nears, many regular-season Pelicans games actually see prices drop the closer you get to game night.
Check for promotions or SeatGeek promo codes during the season
Additionally, mobile ticketing makes it easier than ever to purchase and enter the stadium on short notice. While prices can be unpredictable, last-minute buyers who stay patient and use SeatGeek’s deal score to find the best value can often land great seats to the Pelicans game for a fraction of the original price.
Courtside ticket prices for New Orleans Pelicans games are dynamic and can vary by opponent, event date, seat row, and demand at specific venues. For the most accurate price, open the Pelicans event you’re interested in and check live listings on SeatGeek’s interactive seat map.
Here are some tips to get accurate information on New Orleans Pelicans courtside ticket prices:
Use the interactive map to zoom to floor/courtside sections and select seats near the bench or center court for exact pricing.
Turn on 'include fees' to see the total, all-in price before checkout. This ensures you’re comparing true costs across sections and dates.
Sort by price or use Deal Score to quickly find the best-value courtside options available for Pelicans on your preferred event date.
Pro tips to save on courtside New Orleans Pelicans tickets:
Check baseline courtside versus sideline courtside—baseline can be more affordable while still offering a floor-level experience at the Pelicans game.
Look closer to tip-off for potential last-minute price moves if inventory remains.
Consider adjacent premium rows (e.g., Row B/BB) for a similar view at a lower price than front-row courtside.
Since pricing fluctuates daily on the secondary market, when is the best time to buy Pelicans tickets? The answer is: it depends. The easiest way to ensure you’re getting the best price on Pelicans tickets is by tracking the event. Click on the 'heart' icon on the event you’re looking for and you’ll receive pricing alerts that help you choose the right time to buy.

Time for logistics: With tickets in hand early, coordinate parking, transit, and pre- or post-game plans without pressure.
Sometimes! While high-demand games may sell out quickly, New Orleans Pelicans ticket prices may drop in the final week before game day. If you're flexible with your plans, waiting can often lead to big savings.

Showing up 60 minutes before tip-off to a New Orleans Pelicans game usually hits the sweet spot. It gives you enough time to park or get dropped off, go through security (which often has lines), and walk in without rushing. You’ll also get a chance to buy food or drinks, grab some merch before stores get crowded, find your seat, and maybe catch the last part of warm-ups or Pelicans player introductions.
If you arrive much later, you risk missing those moments, getting stuck in lines, or being stressed trying to settle in. If you arrive much earlier, you might have too much downtime waiting. So 60 minutes balances “getting the most” and “not spending forever waiting.”
Check out the New Orleans Pelicans playoffs schedule to see if New Orleans Pelicans are in the playoffs. You'll find details on playoff games, ticket availability and more!
A regular New Orleans Pelicans game consists of 48 minutes of playing time, divided into four quarters of 12 minutes each. That said, when watched in full (from tip-off to final buzzer), a Pelicans game usually takes around 2 to 2.5 hours.
Several factors including halftime, team timeouts, overtime, fouls, free throws, out-of-bounds plays, and other clock stoppages contribute to the additional time beyond the 48 minutes.
Halftime at the New Orleans Pelicans game, lasts about 15 minutes of real time.
If the Pelicans game is a nationally televised event or part of the playoffs, halftime may occasionally run a few minutes longer to accommodate broadcast schedules.
Halftime at the New Orleans Pelicans game gives Pelicans players and coaches time to rest, adjust strategy, and prepare for the second half.
For fans of Pelicans, halftime is also when arenas typically feature entertainment, contests, or performances, and it’s a convenient window to visit concessions or merchandise stands.
Overtime in a New Orleans Pelicans game lasts 5 minutes of game time. If the score is tied at the end of game, the Pelicans game continues with an overtime period.
Key points:
If the Pelicans game is still tied after one overtime, additional 5-minute overtimes are played until a winner is decided.
Each team receives extra timeouts, and standard rules (including fouls and free throws) remain in effect.
In real time, overtime usually adds 15–20 minutes or more to the overall length of the game, depending on stoppages and how many overtimes are needed.
At New Orleans Pelicans home games, fans are treated to a mix of excitement and exclusive swag—though the exact offerings vary by team, stadium, and game. Here's what you're likely to encounter!
Giveaway items:
Wearables: Rally towels, t-shirts, hats, beanies, and blankets—perfect for cheering on the Pelicans.
Collectibles: Look for special bobbleheads and limited-edition items tied to player milestones or anniversaries.
Practical gear: Stadium cushions, drawstring bags, foam fingers, postal pens, and can coolers are frequent crowd-pleasers.
In-venue promotions and experiences:
Pre- and in-game activations: Some teams even offer LED wristband light shows, as well as youth games, photo booths, and face-paint stations.
Fan contests: Many stadiums host raffles, fan-of-the-game features, and VIP experiences or field access opportunities.
Theme nights and special events:
The Pelicans often celebrate milestone seasons, anniversaries, or holidays with themed giveaways (e.g., commemorative coins, scarves, bobblehead series) and ceremonial events like legends in attendance or mid-game inductions.
Children typically don't need a ticket under a certain age, provided they sit on an adult's lap. Policies can vary, so be sure to review the official Smoothie King Center rules before game day.
