Philadelphia 76ers Tickets
Philadelphia doesn’t do subtlety, and buying a ticket to watch the 76ers is no exception. There’s the team’s box office, there’s Ticketmaster, there’s a whole ecosystem of resale marketplaces promising “verified” seats, and there’s a very real chance that the arena you’re picturing in your head has a different name than the one printed on tonight’s ticket. Add in a rivalry-fueled fan base that has watched this franchise flirt with a Center City move, reverse course, and commit to tearing down its own building to build a new one on the same footprint, and you’ve got a ticket-buying landscape that rewards people who know what they’re doing and punishes people who don’t.
This is a guide for the former group. Below is everything worth knowing before you click “purchase” — where the games actually happen, which sites are legitimate, how the secondary market behaves throughout a season, what a decent seat costs versus a great one, and where to eat a cheesesteak beforehand, because you’re in Philadelphia and that part isn’t optional.
Quick Facts Before You Buy
- Home arena: Xfinity Mobile Arena (formerly Wells Fargo Center), 3601 S. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19148
- 76ers Ticket Office: (215) 339-7676, or (215) 339-7600 for the team’s main line, or email 76ersservice@sixers.com
- Capacity: roughly 21,000 for basketball
- Nearest transit stop: NRG Station (formerly AT&T Station) on SEPTA’s Broad Street Line
- Official resale partner: Ticketmaster, through the team’s own site
Keep those two phone numbers handy. They come up more than you’d think, especially if a game gets moved, weather turns a Tuesday commute into a mess, or you’re trying to sort out accessible seating that isn’t always easy to configure through a third-party reseller.
Where the 76ers Actually Play Now
This part trips people up, so it’s worth spending a minute on it. For nearly three decades, the team played in a building most Philadelphians still call the Wells Fargo Center. That name disappeared in the fall of 2025, when the naming rights shifted to Comcast’s mobile carrier brand and the building became Xfinity Mobile Arena. The address hasn’t moved an inch — it’s the same building at 3601 S. Broad Street in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, sitting alongside Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park. If a listing, an old bookmark, or a friend’s advice still says “Wells Fargo Center,” that’s the same place. Google still indexes both names, and so does most of the secondary ticket market, so don’t let the naming confusion talk you into thinking you’re looking at the wrong venue.
There’s a second layer of confusion worth clearing up, because it explains a lot about why ticket prices and arena chatter have been unusually active the past couple of seasons. In late 2024, the 76ers had won city approval for a brand-new $1.3 billion arena called 76 Place, planned for Market Street between 10th and 11th in Center City, near Chinatown. Then, in a reversal that caught almost everyone off guard, the team scrapped that plan in January 2025 and struck a deal with Comcast Spectacor to stay in South Philadelphia instead. The current plan calls for demolishing the existing arena after the team’s lease runs out and building a new one on the same site, as a 50/50 venture between the 76ers and the Flyers, with an opening targeted for 2031. Until then, and probably for a couple of seasons beyond, home games stay exactly where they’ve always been — South Broad Street, right off the Sports Complex exit.
Why does any of this matter to someone just trying to buy a ticket? Because it means the current arena era has a shelf life, and Philadelphia sports fans have a habit of treating “final seasons” in a familiar building as something worth showing up for, whether or not that sentiment is fully rational. Expect a modest, gradual uptick in demand for marquee games as the demolition timeline gets closer.
The Official Route: Sixers Ticket Office and Ticketmaster
Buying directly from the team is almost always the safest starting point, and for most games, it’s also competitive on price. The 76ers sell through their own site at sixers.com, which routes through Ticketmaster’s platform for individual game tickets, season plans, and mobile entry. If you’d rather talk to a person, the ticket office number is (215) 339-7676, and it’s staffed for both routine purchases and accessibility requests — the team notes that accessible seating has its own dedicated process rather than being something you can always self-serve through a general seating map.
A few practical notes from the box office’s own policies, because they trip up first-timers:
- All sales are final. No refunds, no exchanges. If your plans change, your only real option is reselling the ticket yourself, typically through the team’s official resale marketplace.
- The arena is cashless. Whatever you’re planning to buy once you’re inside — food, a jersey, parking add-ons — bring a credit card. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted; cash and checks are not.
- Mobile tickets only, in most cases. Downloading your ticket to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet before you leave the house will save you a headache at the gate, especially on a night when cell service inside a packed arena is spotty.
- Register your ticketing account ahead of time. When single-game tickets for marquee matchups go on sale, the purchase window can close fast, and having your account pre-verified shaves real time off checkout.
If you’re buying same-day or want to pick up a physical ticket, the Xfinity Mobile Arena box office is on the northwest corner of the building, and Will Call typically opens ninety minutes before tipoff.
The Secondary Market: Where to Look, and What to Watch For
Not everyone buys straight from the team, and that’s fine — the resale market for 76ers games is deep, competitive, and generally reliable if you stick to platforms with buyer protection. The names you’ll run into most often:
- Ticketmaster — also functions as a verified resale marketplace for fans reselling their own 76ers tickets, which keeps listings tied to the same barcode system used for original sales.
- SeatGeek — known for its seat-quality scoring system and interactive maps, useful if you care more about sightlines than section names.
- StubHub — one of the largest resale marketplaces overall, with a FanProtect guarantee that covers replacement tickets if something goes wrong with your order.
- Vivid Seats — frequently runs promotions and rewards points, worth checking if you attend multiple Philly sporting events across a season.
- Box Office Ticket Sales — a smaller but established seller that lists Xfinity Mobile Arena inventory alongside seating chart tools.
A word of caution that the venue itself repeats often enough that it’s worth repeating here too: don’t buy from street scalpers outside the building. The arena explicitly warns that tickets purchased this way are frequently counterfeit or stolen and won’t be honored at the gate, no matter how convincing they look. If a deal seems too good to be true walking up to the box office an hour before tipoff, it usually is.
One more distinction worth understanding: primary versus secondary pricing behaves differently depending on the opponent. A Tuesday game against a lottery-bound team might sell face-value tickets for less than what you’d pay for a movie and popcorn. A nationally televised game against a rival, or a night when a particular superstar is in town with the visiting team, can push resale prices for lower-bowl seats into four figures. Comparing across two or three of the platforms above before committing is worth the extra five minutes, since fees and markups vary more than most people expect.
Season Tickets, Partial Plans, and Group Sales
If you’re the type who wants a standing Tuesday-night ritual rather than a one-off outing, the 76ers offer full season memberships, partial plans built around a smaller slate of games, and group sales for anything from a birthday party to a corporate outing or school trip. Group sales in particular can produce meaningful savings for parties of ten or more, and the team’s group sales department is reachable through the same ticket office channels listed above.
For anyone weighing a full season plan, the calculus usually comes down to three things: how many games you’ll realistically attend, whether you want the resale flexibility that comes with owning the seat outright, and whether premium add-ons like Club Box seating or suite access matter to you. Suites and premium seating are sold separately from general bowl seating and come with their own catering and hospitality packages — worth a direct call to the ticket office rather than trying to piece it together from a seating chart online.
Understanding the Seating Bowl
Xfinity Mobile Arena’s basketball configuration seats roughly 21,000 people across a lower bowl, a club level, and an upper bowl, with luxury suites ringing the middle tier. Here’s the rough hierarchy fans use when deciding where to sit:
Courtside and Baseline — the seats you see on television behind the basket or along the sideline closest to the floor. These are the most expensive tickets in the building by a wide margin and are frequently held by season-ticket holders or sold through premium resale listings rather than general sale.
Lower Bowl (100 Level) — still close to the action, with sideline sections commanding a premium over the sections behind the baskets. This is where most fans who want a “real” game-night experience without courtside pricing tend to land.
Club Level — includes access to a private concourse and lounge areas, positioned above the lower bowl. A middle-ground option for fans who want extras without suite-level spending.
Upper Bowl (200 Level and above) — the most affordable tickets in the building, and honestly not a bad way to watch a basketball game, since the sightlines in most modern NBA arenas are better from up top than people assume. Upper baseline sections are typically the cheapest seats sold for any given game.
A rough sense of the spread: expect upper-level tickets for a mid-tier matchup to run somewhere in the two-to-four-hundred-dollar range once fees are included on resale platforms, with lower-bowl sideline seats climbing well past that for competitive or nationally televised games. Prices for marquee opponents or weekend dates can multiply that several times over, particularly if star players from the visiting team are healthy and in the lineup.
Timing the Market
Ticket prices for NBA games move in fairly predictable patterns, and the 76ers are no exception. A few timing principles worth knowing:
Buy early for high-demand games. Rivalry matchups, nationally televised nights, and games against the league’s most popular teams tend to only get more expensive as the date approaches, especially once single-game tickets sell out through the official box office and the only remaining supply is resale.
Wait for low-demand games. Weeknight games against teams near the bottom of the standings, especially in the first half of the season, often see prices soften in the final 24 to 48 hours as sellers try to move inventory before it expires worthless.
Watch the injury report. If a visiting team’s best player is ruled out shortly before tipoff, secondary market prices can drop noticeably within hours. This cuts both ways — it also applies to the 76ers’ own roster, so keep an eye on team injury updates if attendance hinges on seeing a specific player.
Weekend and holiday games command a premium almost every time, regardless of opponent quality, simply because more people are free to attend.
Getting to the Arena
The single easiest way into a 76ers game, hands down, is SEPTA’s Broad Street Line, which runs directly to NRG Station (the renamed AT&T Station) right at the Sports Complex. On game nights, especially for high-attendance matchups, SEPTA runs a Sports Express service that skips several stops to speed up the trip. If you’re coming from Center City, it’s a short, flat-rate ride that sidesteps parking entirely — a real advantage in a stadium district where surface lots fill up fast and street parking is close to nonexistent.
If you’re driving, the arena address for GPS purposes is 3601 S. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19148, with multiple surface lots surrounding the complex. Accessible parking is available on the Broad Street (west) side, in D Lot on the south side, along 11th Street on the east side, and on Terminal Avenue to the south, all requiring the appropriate hang tag or plate. Lyft is the arena’s official rideshare partner and maintains a dedicated pickup lot for drop-off and pickup separate from general traffic.
Eating Before Tipoff
You’re in South Philadelphia, which means the pregame meal deserves almost as much planning as the seats do. A few options, depending on how much time you’ve got before puck-drop-adjacent tipoff:
Right at the Sports Complex: Stateside Live! (long known as Xfinity Live!), at 1100 Pattison Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19148, is the entertainment hub directly across from the arena, with multiple restaurants and bars under one roof, including a 10th Street Market food hall carrying local names like Geno’s Steaks and Termini Bros. Bakery. It’s built exactly for the fifteen-minutes-before-tipoff crowd.
The cheesesteak pilgrimage, if you have the time: A short ride or rideshare from the Sports Complex sits the famous 9th and Passyunk corner in Passyunk Square, where Pat’s King of Steaks (1237 E. Passyunk Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19147) and Geno’s Steaks (1219 S. 9th St., Philadelphia, PA 19147) face off across the street from each other, a rivalry that’s been running since 1966 and shows no sign of resolving. Both are open essentially around the clock, and both will hand you a very hot, very orange cheesesteak within a few minutes of ordering, provided you know the local ordering shorthand — wit or wit-out onions, and your cheese of choice.
A sit-down option nearby: Le Virtù, at 1927 E. Passyunk Ave., serves Abruzzese Italian cuisine in a warmer, slower setting if you’re making a full evening of it rather than rushing straight from dinner to your seat.
Avoiding the Common Mistakes
A short list of things that trip up ticket buyers more than anything else:
- Confusing the old arena name with a different venue. Wells Fargo Center and Xfinity Mobile Arena are the same building. Don’t second-guess a listing just because the name doesn’t match what you remember.
- Buying from unverified sellers outside the gates. If it’s not through the team’s site, a Ticketmaster resale listing, or an established platform with a buyer guarantee, treat it as a risk, not a deal.
- Forgetting that sales are final. Before buying, be reasonably sure about the date — reselling is possible, but there’s no refund path if plans fall through.
- Underestimating fees. The advertised price on a resale listing rarely matches the final checkout total. Compare total costs across platforms, not sticker prices.
- Ignoring the injury report until game day. If seeing a specific player is the whole point of going, check team announcements the morning of the game before finalizing a purchase.
