When do 2023 NBA Playoffs tickets go on sale? Date, time for next round tickets sales

The 2023 NBA playoffs is less than a month away and it's shaping up to be one of the most wide-open postseasons in league history. The Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets were the first teams to clinch a playoff berth, and both are atop each of their respective conferences.

But when do playoff tickets go on sale? Season ticket holders have the advantage of purchasing seats for all home postseason games. They can also buy additional seats depending on their availability. It should be noted that those with full-season membership are prioritized during the playoffs.

NBA teams typically do not sell playoff tickets until the games have been scheduled. However, fans can always subscribe to their favorite team's newsletter to receive information about tickets on sale. The Bucks have already encouraged their fans to join the Priority Presale list for the playoffs.

In addition to NBA.com, fans can also survey other ticketing websites for available playoff seats. Some of these ticketing websites include Ticketmaster, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, StubHub and TicketSmarter.
