The Sacramento Kings have become the hottest ticket in town.

The Sacramento Kings have become one of the most popular teams in the NBA. Because they have finally become a competitive franchise once again. For the first time in nearly two decades, the team will make their return to the NBA Playoffs. However, the Kings will have a stout challenge waiting for them. The Golden State Warriors will be the first challenge the Kings must overcome. The Warriors are the defending NBA champions. However, it is the Kings that will own homecourt advantage.

Sacramento fans are lining up for the chance to see their team. But the demand to be there in person has skyrocketed the price for tickets. Game One between the Kings and Warriors is reportedly the highest-priced ticket on the market, excluding the Finals. According to Front Office Sports, The current average price for tickets to Game One is currently at an astounding price of $668 per ticket. To put that in perspective, the price is 603% higher than the price for a Kings regular season game.

Sacramento Kings Looking To Prove Themselves Against Warriors

The Kings are deserving of the moment they are in. However, the Warriors don't care what they have accomplished in the regular season. The Warriors are the most successful franchise of the last decade. They know just how difficult it is to reach the mountaintop. Which is something they have done four times within the last decade. However, the Kings getting the chance to knock off the king of the league would set the tone. But for Draymond Green, he may already be looking ahead to the Warriors round two matchup.

The NBA Playoffs are already filled with some amazing storylines. But the Kings and Warriors seem to be drawing the biggest crowd. The thought of a fresh franchise looking to dethrone the old guard will bring in viewership. But something tells me the Warriors are not going to roll over. Do you believe that the Sacramento Kings will eliminate the Warriors? Would you pay $600 to watch your favorite team play? Let us know how you feel about the price of tickets in the comment section.
