How to get NBA Paris and Manchester 2027 tickets before they sell out

The NBA is bringing regular-season action back to Europe in 2027 and demand for tickets is expected to be massive.

The league has confirmed that the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans will face off in two international games: one in France and one in England.

• January 14, 2027 - Accor Arena, Paris, France
• January 17, 2027 - Co-op Live, Manchester, England

Here’s everything fans need to know about getting tickets and how to improve your chances before they sell out.

When do NBA Europe 2027 tickets go on sale?

The NBA has not yet announced an official on-sale date, but based on previous international games, tickets are typically released several months in advance, often in the fall.

Fans should expect:

• Early registration or ticket interest sign-ups
• Presales for select groups (NBA accounts, partners, VIP buyers)
• General public sale shortly after

The best move right now is to monitor official NBA channels and register early once interest lists open.

How to buy tickets

Tickets for NBA Europe games are usually sold through official NBA ticketing platforms, partner vendors in Europe, and verified resale marketplaces (after initial sales). Because these events feature limited seating and global demand, they often sell out quickly, sometimes within minutes.

To increase your chances, sign up for NBA ticket alerts early. Be ready at the exact on-sale time, use multiple devices if possible, and consider presale access opportunities.

Expected ticket prices and packages

While official prices for the 2027 games haven’t been announced yet, previous NBA Europe games give a strong indication of what fans can expect.

For recent NBA Paris games, ticket prices have typically ranged from:

• €120–€250 ($130–$275) for upper-level/cheapest seats
• €390–€900 ($430–$990) for mid-tier seating
• €1,100–€2,000+ ($1,200–$2,200+) for lower bowl/premium seats
• €2,000+ ($2,200+) for courtside and VIP experiences

Some resale and secondary market listings have shown average tickets around $120–$330 and premium courtside seats exceeding $3,000 for high-demand matchups.

For UK games (like Manchester), prices may start slightly lower for standard seats, potentially around £60–£100 ($75–$125), but premium inventory still climbs quickly depending on demand.

Travel planning: what fans should know

With games in both Paris and Manchester just three days apart, some fans may try to attend both. That means planning ahead is key.

Book accommodations early in Paris and Manchester and expect increased hotel demand near both arenas. And make sure to watch for travel packages tied to the games. These international matchups tend to draw fans from across Europe and the U.S., adding to the urgency.

The Spurs’ involvement means a strong chance that global star Victor Wembanyama will headline the Paris matchup in his home country, a major draw that could push demand even higher than usual. Combined with the NBA’s growing global audience, both games are expected to be among the most in-demand international tickets in recent years.

Tickets for the NBA’s 2027 Europe games haven’t gone on sale yet, but when they do, they won’t last long. For fans hoping to see the Spurs and Pelicans live in Paris or Manchester, be early, be ready, and don’t wait.
