Overview
- The Lakers, which announced Courtside Reserve on Thursday, introduced a second row of on-floor seats for the postseason with in-seat food and drinks and VIP club access.
- Access runs through a dedicated team webpage where fans must request to buy, and the team says the seats are offered in a very small number to keep the courtside area exclusive.
- The team did not release per-game prices, though the New York Post reports regular-season courtside seats often run $4,000 to $10,000 and playoff games can reach $20,000 to $40,000 per seat.
- Fans who purchase Courtside Reserve now receive priority to buy season tickets in that section when they become available.
- As of this week, Los Angeles holds the No. 4 seed on tiebreakers in a 50–29 tie with Houston, which would give the Lakers home-court advantage in the first round if the standings hold.
