Gear up for the NBA Finals! Dallas Mavericks merch, tickets on sale Friday
DALLAS – The Western Conference Champion Dallas Mavericks are headed to the NBA Finals.
Fans will have to act quick to snag tickets when they go on sale Friday at 1 p.m.
The Mavericks will have up to three home games – Games 3, 4 and 6. Game 6 will happen only if the series is extended.
Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday, June 12; Game 4 is on Friday, June 14; and Game 6 will be on Thursday, June 20, if necessary.
You can buy tickets through the team website.
If you have to buy resale tickets on a site like StubHub, get ready to pay up. Early tickets posted are a minimum of $900 and courtside as high as $10,000.
If you want the Western Conference Championship gear Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and the rest of the team were wearing Thursday night, North Texas retailers have you covered.
"[I bought] everything they got. A couple of hats, a couple of shirts, bring some in for my boys, son-in-law, son, wife, new grandson," said Jose Torres, a big-time Mavs fan.
"NBA Finals? This is amazing. I live in a house of hoops, 15, 13, and 11 years old. Just getting some paraphernalia for them," said Sean Jones-Quaidoo.
Torres said he has been waiting all week for this.
"I was hoping they were going to do it Tuesday night. But hey, a couple days later is great anyway," said Torres.
The longer the playoffs go, the better it is for teams. A team making an NBA Finals appearance has the chance to increase their merchandise sales by close to 200%.
Torres says he's looking for tickets, if you know a guy.
"Been a Mavericks fan since they came to Dallas. Got to go the last time they won the Championship. So hopefully there are some tickets available," he said.
The NBA finals start next Thursday, June 6.
