According to StubHub , the three fastest-selling preseason games in the country are all Sixers games - at home and on the road.
Experts advise that, since demand is through the roof, fans should consider changing their purchasing habits.
To save money on tickets in years past, the advice was to wait to buy. Usually prices dropped around 20% one or two days before a game, but now experts say it might be wise to buy sooner rather than later.
You can also save by picking a cheaper night of the week.
Jill Gonzalez of StubHub says, "We're seeing that Sunday and Saturday games carry the biggest premiums - in that order. The value nights are Monday, Wednesdays, and Tuesdays."
Another thing to keep in mind is scams. Make sure you're buying from a reputable platform.
StubHub, for instance, has a FanProtect guarantee .
Gonzalez tells Action News, "That means your ticket works or your money back plus 120%. You don't want to be buying from Facebook Marketplace or Instagram or Craigslist. There are no buyer protections there. Even outside the stadium right before, again, no buyer protections. There's no guarantee that that ticket you're buying is real."
Whether you're a buyer or a seller, do not ever go off-platform to talk to the other party or to complete a transaction.
Fans interested in partial or full season tickets should submit an interest form online and can still place a deposit. But the Sixers are warning fans that due to the incredibly high demand, even a deposit doesn't guarantee you a slot in the seat selection process.
