Abstract
Despite the effects of the economic crisis, the United States has maintained its position as a global leader in the innovation of professional sports development, drawing attention to the progress of its professional stadiums. The ultimate goal of stadium marketing is to attract more spectators to enter the stadium to watch the game and bring more economic income through the sale of tickets, and the audience needs to buy corresponding tickets to enter the stadium to watch the game according to their own needs, so that the price of tickets can have interactions between the audience and the stadium. This study combines a literature review and critical analysis to investigate NBA ticket pricing. The paper confirms that, in general, ticket prices go up as proximity to the action on the field increases, and that teams based in large basketball markets charge more than those in smaller markets.
