Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals is the hottest ticket in town.
The best-of-seven series between the Celtics and the Mavericks makes its way back to Boston on Monday with fans scrambling to catch a glimpse of the sold-out matchup. But, with ticket prices soaring into four figures, admission to TD Garden might not be in everyone’s budget.
As of Monday afternoon, the average price for a Game 5 ticket was $3,978, according to TicketIQ.
The cheapest resale ticket, which guarantees entrance to the Garden and a spot in the balcony, comes with a price tag of $1,122 on Gametime.

The closer to the parquet, however, the higher the cost. Vividseats, which offers the second-cheapest tickets behind Gametime, listed lower-level seats starting at $2,382. Still, sideline seats will cost nearly double that of a seat behind the basket, even if both tickets are in the same row.
Vividseats, for example, listed a Loge 17 (behind the basket) row 13 ticket for $2,382. Meanwhile, just across the arena in Loge 1 (sideline) row 13, a single ticket cost $7,883.
The most expensive ticket available as of Monday afternoon, according to TicketIQ, was – hold onto your wallets – $311,600.
Luckily, if you don’t want to dip into your retirement fund to watch the Celtics potentially grab its 18th banner at TD Garden, there are plenty of establishments nearby that promise a lively playoff atmosphere.
If you do head towards the West End Monday night, beware of road closures that could affect travel and access to businesses.
“All of Causeway and all streets off Causeway to New Chardon St. will be shut down to vehicles and pedestrians after the first quarter of the Celtics game,” the Boston Police Department said in a social media post Monday.
Additionally, at halftime, bars and restaurants will no longer offer re-entry. So whether you’re at a restaurant, a watch-party, or the Garden, grab a seat and plan to stay there for all four quarters.
