Atlanta Hawks Tickets
There’s a particular kind of chaos that hits every August when the NBA schedule drops. Fans open a dozen browser tabs, compare three ticket sites at once, and somehow still end up paying more than they meant to for seats they can’t quite picture. Buying Atlanta Hawks tickets doesn’t have to be that scramble. Once you know where the official inventory lives, where the resale market actually helps you, and which section of State Farm Arena gives you the most game for your money, the whole process takes about ten minutes.
This guide walks through it properly: the official ticket channels, the resale marketplaces worth trusting, what tickets actually cost and why, how to pick a seat you won’t regret, and the addresses and logistics you’ll want saved before you ever leave the house.

What You’re Actually Buying a Ticket To
State Farm Arena sits at 1 State Farm Drive in downtown Atlanta’s Centennial Park District, a few blocks from Centennial Olympic Park and within easy walking distance of the Georgia Aquarium and the College Football Hall of Fame. The building has gone through a few names and a few facelifts since it opened in 1999 — it was Philips Arena for nearly two decades before a $192.5 million renovation in 2017 and 2018 reshaped it into something closer to a modern sports lounge than a traditional bowl.
That renovation is the reason a Hawks ticket buys you more than a seat and a scoreboard. The arena has a 360-degree open concourse, so you’re never boxed into a hallway between quarters. There’s a TopGolf Swing Suite, the first permanent installation of its kind in a major arena. There’s a four-chair barbershop overlooking the court, run under Killer Mike’s name. And there’s the Hawks Bar, billed as the NBA’s first courtside bar, which tells you something about how the organization thinks about the in-game experience. None of that shows up on a seating chart, but it’s part of what you’re paying for when the price on a ticket feels a little steep for a section that’s not exactly courtside.
The Official Channel: Ticketmaster and Hawks.com
Ticketmaster is the official ticket marketplace of the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena, which matters more than it sounds like it should. Every ticket sold through Ticketmaster is tied to the arena’s own verification system, meaning barcodes are unique, mobile delivery is instant, and lost tickets can actually be replaced at the box office — something that is not true for tickets bought through most third-party resale sites. If you want the least amount of friction, Ticketmaster’s Hawks page is the starting point, and it links directly into the full home schedule, seating charts, and parking add-ons.
The team’s own site, reachable through NBA.com/Hawks, routes most purchases through that same Ticketmaster backbone but organizes the options more usefully for anyone who isn’t just buying a single ticket. From there you can browse single-game tickets, partial season plans, full season memberships, group blocks, premium clubs, and suite rentals, all in one place instead of hunting through a generic event calendar.
Preseason tickets typically go on sale before the regular-season schedule is even finalized. For the 2026–27 season, the preseason slate at State Farm Arena opened with the Hawks hosting the Memphis Grizzlies on October 5, 2026, followed by a matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 12. Regular-season inventory generally becomes available shortly after the NBA releases its full schedule in mid-August, which is also when season ticket renewals and new memberships open up.
Season Tickets, Partial Plans, and Group Sales — For the Committed Fan
If you’re the type who already knows you’ll be at a dozen games this year, buying one ticket at a time is the expensive way to do it. The Hawks offer a few tiers built for exactly this:
Season ticket memberships lock in a seat for all 41 home games, along with the usual perks — better renewal priority, member pricing on merchandise, and first access to playoff ticket windows if the team makes a run.
Partial plans start around ten games and let you build a smaller package around specific opponents, weekends, or a budget, without committing to the full slate.
Group tickets are built for parties of ten or more and come with block seating and a discount off the individual ticket price — useful for office outings, birthday parties, or a youth basketball team’s night out.
Family 4-Packs, offered for select games, bundle four tickets with loaded value that can be spent on food and drinks inside the arena, which is a small but genuinely useful discount if you’re bringing kids.
Any of these are best arranged directly through Hawks Ticket Sales at (866) 715-1500, or by emailing hawkstickets@hawks.com. Group Sales runs through the same number. If you’ve ever tried to build a custom package through a resale site’s interface, you already know why it’s worth just calling.
The Resale Marketplace: SeatGeek, StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Gametime
Once the official allotment for a popular game sells down to the upper bowl, or if you’re chasing a specific section the primary site doesn’t offer anymore, the resale market is where the actual inventory lives. A few platforms are worth knowing by name.
SeatGeek has built its reputation on a clean interface and a “deal score” that tells you, at a glance, whether a listing is priced fairly against recent comparable sales. It’s also where a lot of season ticket holders list single games they can’t attend, so inventory tends to be deep even for mid-week matchups.
StubHub is the platform most casual fans already have an account with, and it remains one of the largest secondary markets for Hawks games specifically, given the arena’s downtown location draws both locals and visiting fans of whichever team is in town.
Vivid Seats leans into its rewards program — buy ten tickets over time and the eleventh is free — which actually adds up for anyone attending games regularly without going the full season-ticket route. It also tends to list nearby food and parking recommendations alongside the seating chart, which is a nice touch for out-of-town fans.
Gametime is built for the person deciding to go to a game at 4 p.m. that same evening. Its app-first design and last-minute pricing make it the best option when you want a seat and don’t especially care which section, as long as the price drops close to tip-off.
All four are backed by buyer guarantees, meaning if a listing turns out to be invalid, you’re refunded or rebooked into comparable seats. That said, one detail from State Farm Arena’s own policy page is worth remembering: tickets bought through a third-party resale site cannot be reprinted at the arena box office if they’re lost. Keep them saved to your phone’s wallet, not just in an email you might not have signal to open.
What Hawks Tickets Really Cost
Pricing for Atlanta Hawks tickets swings more than people expect, and the swing has less to do with the Hawks themselves than with who’s on the other bench and what night of the week it is. Preseason games have shown starting prices as low as the high teens to low thirties, with averages landing somewhere in the $100–$140 range once mid-bowl and premium seats are factored in. Regular-season games against lower-profile opponents on a weeknight can start even cheaper than that in the general-admission upper sections, while marquee matchups — nationally televised games, rivalry nights, or a visit from a superstar-heavy roster — push both the floor and the average price up substantially.
A few things reliably move the number:
- Opponent. A game against a glamour franchise or a former Hawk returning to Atlanta draws noticeably more demand than a Tuesday game against a rebuilding team.
- Day and time. Friday and Saturday night games cost more than a Tuesday tip-off, almost without exception.
- Seat location. Courtside and lower-bowl club seats can run into the hundreds or low thousands per seat for a single game, while upper-level general admission sections regularly start under fifty dollars.
- How close to game day you buy. Prices on resale platforms often dip in the final hours before tip-off, particularly for games that haven’t sold out — which is where an app like Gametime tends to shine.
- Playoffs. If the Hawks are playing meaningful postseason basketball, expect prices across every platform to jump well beyond regular-season norms, sometimes several times over.
If budget is the main constraint, the general admission and upper-level sections are consistently the cheapest way into the building, and they’re still inside an arena designed around sightlines, which matters more at State Farm Arena than in some older buildings.
Choosing Your Seats: A Short Course in the Bowl
State Farm Arena’s basketball capacity sits at just over 17,600 following the 2018 renovation, arranged in tiers that roughly break down like this:
Lower bowl (100 level) puts you closest to the floor, with the priciest seats — including courtside — living in this tier. Sideline seats here offer the clearest look at the actual game; seats near the baseline are cheaper but come with a more angled view.
Club level sits between the lower and upper bowl and typically includes access to a private concourse and lounge, which is worth considering if you’re buying for a special occasion rather than a casual weeknight game.
Upper bowl (200 level) is where most of the arena’s seating lives, and thanks to the steep, modern rake of the renovated bowl, sightlines here are considerably better than in older-generation arenas. This is also where general admission and the most budget-friendly seats are typically found.
Suites are available for full-game rentals and are worth a call to Hawks Group Sales rather than a browser search, since availability and pricing vary game to game.
If you’re choosing between two similarly priced seats in different sections, prioritize center-court sightlines over raw proximity to the floor — a mid-level seat at center court usually beats a lower-bowl seat buried in the corner.
Getting There: Addresses, Parking, and MARTA
State Farm Arena’s full address is 1 State Farm Drive, Atlanta, GA 30303. The box office itself is located next to Gate 2, on the Centennial Olympic Park Drive side of the building, tucked behind the large structural “ATLANTA” letters that have become a photo spot in their own right.
Parking is spread across several decks and lots immediately around the arena, each with its own address:
- State Farm Drive Deck — 1 State Farm Drive, Atlanta, GA 30303. The closest option, less than a minute’s walk from the arena.
- Diamond Deck — 100 Lower Andrew Young International Boulevard, Atlanta, GA 30303. VIP parking with a dedicated player and artist entrance nearby.
- Sapphire Deck — 127 Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW, Atlanta, GA 30303. Directly across the street from the arena, about a five-minute walk.
- Ruby Lot — entrance at 199 Alabama Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30303. A below-street-level option roughly five minutes on foot from the gates.
For anyone skipping the car entirely, State Farm Arena sits within walking distance of MARTA’s rail lines, which run through downtown Atlanta and connect to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in one direction and the northern suburbs in the other — a genuinely easy way to avoid both parking fees and post-game traffic.
Game Day: Box Office, Will Call, and Entry Rules
The box office at Gate 2 is only open on event days, and it opens roughly an hour before the scheduled door time, not the tip-off time — worth remembering if you’re planning to pick up will-call tickets and expecting the doors of the ticket window to be open earlier. For questions ahead of time, the arena’s main line is (404) 878-3000; Hawks-specific ticket sales run through (866) 715-1500.
A few practical notes that trip people up:
- If you bought through Ticketmaster or directly at the box office, lost or stolen tickets can be reprinted at the box office — bring the credit card used for purchase and a matching photo ID.
- Tickets bought through resale platforms generally cannot be reprinted at the arena; contact the platform directly if something goes wrong.
- Camera policy allows cell phones, tablets, and small point-and-shoot cameras, but cameras with detachable or interchangeable lenses, or fixed lenses longer than three inches, aren’t permitted.
- Guest Services, located inside Gate 1, provides assistive listening devices free of charge with a photo ID or credit card held as deposit, and can arrange accessible seating exchanges or sign interpretation with enough advance notice.
Before Tip-Off: Where to Eat Near State Farm Arena
Because the arena sits inside Atlanta’s Centennial Park District, there’s no shortage of places to grab dinner before a game without needing a car. Der Biergarten and Max Lager’s Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery are both popular pregame stops within a short walk, and the surrounding blocks are dense with the kind of casual restaurants and sports bars that fill up fast on game nights. If you’re making a full evening of it, Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, SkyView Atlanta, and the College Football Hall of Fame are all close enough to fold into a pregame stroll.
Five Ways to Save on Hawks Tickets
- Buy early for high-demand games, buy late for everything else. Marquee matchups only get more expensive as they approach; lower-demand weeknight games often get cheaper as game time nears.
- Check general admission and upper-level sections first. These consistently offer the lowest entry point into the building without sacrificing a real view of the game.
- Watch for Family 4-Packs and promotional theme nights, which the Hawks run on select dates and which bundle in food-and-beverage value on top of the ticket price.
- Compare more than one resale platform before buying. SeatGeek, StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Gametime don’t always list the same inventory at the same price for the same seat.
- Consider a partial season plan if you attend more than five or six games a year. The per-game cost usually beats buying single tickets one at a time, and it comes with renewal priority for the following season.
