He is paying $6,192 for his seats this season.<\/p>\n<p>Next year, that goes up to $9,035. Last season, he paid $5,494. That is a 45.9% increase heading into 2026-27 compared to the 12.7% bump from the year before. The difference between those two jumps is tough to overlook.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers also addressed the upcoming ticket hike in a statement on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are adjusting season ticket pricing for next season. The updates reflect the current market landscape and demand,&#8221; the statement read, per ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>From a business angle, the franchise knows how to sell. Not many teams pack seats in Los Angeles home games like the Lakers do.<\/p>\n<p>However, with Walter&#8217;s group running things now, pushing through a big price bump could rub a fan base the wrong way after years of loyalty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n    !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n    {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n    n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n    if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n    n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n    t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n    fbq('init', '1324276914788316');\n    fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/nba\/articles\/lakers_tickets_could_see_massive_price_hike_after_franchise_sale\/s1_13132_43504203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Lakers sent out season-ticket renewal forms this week, and the price increases made it pretty clear where Mark Walter wants to take his $10 billion investment.
