Surprise, surprise: the NBA’s biggest names are driving the highest ticket prices on the secondary market this season.

Kevin Durant sent seismic shockwaves across the league earlier over the summer after announcing his intention to sign with the Golden State Warriors. With Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green already highlighting the Western Conference champion roster, it comes as no surprise that the Warriors will play in seven of the 10 most expensive games this season.

Prepare to pay up both at home and on the road when looking for Warriors tickets throughout the 2016-17 NBA season. The top-priced NBA ticket this season will be for a March 5 game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. On TicketIQ, that game currently averages $780.14 and the get-in price, or cheapest available ticket, is $257. An NBA Finals rematch in Oakland is scheduled for January 16, where tickets own a secondary market average of $693.94 and a $276 get-in price.
