Looking to attend the Men’s Basketball Gold Medal game in the Paris Olympics? It’ll be the most expensive event to gain entry to.
The cheapest ticket to attend the championship game costs $710, which is the most expensive 2024 Olympic event in Paris, according to data compiled by Sportscasting.
The high ticket price is likely due to the high possibility of one of Team USA or Team France, if not both, competing in the gold medal game.
In this scenario, attendees will have the opportunity to watch LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant all team up alongside other NBA superstars go up against young phenom Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert.
Team Canada will also be in the mix, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray, among others.
It’s hard to imagine any other scenario than Team USA competing in this event given their rolodex of talent on both ends of the floor, so the high price likely mostly factors the ability to see the Americans compete on the game’s biggest stage in person.
