Dying to see the Heat’s Miami debut? There’s still time — and a surplus of tickets.
On Friday morning, the team’s online box office still had about 400 tickets for sale. And on stubhub.com, the world’s top scalping site, there were hundreds more, with prices starting at about $70.
If you can wait four days, the deals get better. Tickets for Tuesday’s second home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves start at $17 on Stub Hub.
The low prices for the NBA’s hottest team comes as people who scooped up season ticketsin July when LeBron James first defected from Cleveland to Miami now realize they can’t get top dollar for seats inside the AmericanAirlines Arena, said Stub Hub communications director Glenn Lehrman.
“It’s good for the fans,” Lehrman said. “I think you’re going to have an over-saturated market.”
