Philadelphia 76ers Single-Game Ticket Sale Dates

For 2027 calendar-year games, the 2026–27 Philadelphia 76ers single-game public sale was Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The date and time are confirmed on Ticketmaster; the sale has already begun. Use the official 76ers ticket page, which links to Ticketmaster, and check each game listing for current inventory, price, and terms.

If you’re planning to attend a game in 2027, the key drop is not still ahead: tickets for the 2026–27 season went on public sale in September 2026. That doesn’t mean every seat is gone, but popular games and sections can thin out quickly. The safest way to avoid marked-up listings is to start at the team’s ticket page, then compare the full checkout total before paying.

Official sale timing and what the date means

The public sale for 2026–27 home games began Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EDT on Ticketmaster. The 76ers’ official page had listed September 2026 as the release month, while Ticketmaster game pages show the exact date and time. (nba.com)

“Tickets for 2027” can mean games in calendar year 2027 or the 2027–28 season. The September 2026 sale covered the 2026–27 schedule, including games played in 2027. It does not confirm when tickets for the 2027–28 season will go on sale; that date should not be guessed from this year’s calendar.

The NBA released the 2026–27 schedule on August 13, 2026. The 76ers’ public sale followed on September 17, 35 days later. That is one season’s interval, not a fixed annual rule: the league schedule-release date and the team’s ticket-sale date are separate announcements. (nba.com)

The confirmed examples show why it is risky to assume the sale happens at the same hour each year. In 2022, reporting gave a 10 a.m. start; in 2025, it reported noon; and in 2026, Ticketmaster listed 10 a.m. EDT. I would use those dates as context, not as a reliable forecast for the next season.

Presale access and purchase limits

For 2026–27, the 76ers listed the Sixthman newsletter and SMS alerts as ways to gain presale access. The team page does not state a registration deadline, a universal presale date, or a guaranteed time gap before the public sale. Enroll early and rely on the message you receive for the actual window and instructions. (nba.com)

Ticketmaster’s listing for a 2026–27 home game showed a four-ticket limit during presales and an eight-ticket limit for the public sale. Treat those as the limits on that listed event, not a promise that every game has identical rules. Review the specific event page before checkout; Ticketmaster says orders that exceed a stated limit may be canceled. (ticketmaster.com)

The verified information names team newsletter and text alerts, but does not confirm a universal Sixers presale code, credit-card offer, or loyalty-tier requirement. Don’t rely on a code posted by an unofficial account. If a presale requires a code or eligibility step, use the details in the team’s message or on the Ticketmaster event page.

Price checks, fees, and resale

There is no verified, season-wide starting price for 2026–27 in the sources reviewed here. Prices depend on the specific game and seat, and Ticketmaster says its listed price includes required fees before taxes; applicable taxes or certain delivery charges may still affect the final total. Check the amount at checkout rather than treating a seat-map price as your final cost. (help.ticketmaster.com)

Ticketmaster also labels resale tickets separately. Resale sellers set their own prices, which may be above or below face value. A listing that appears before, or alongside, the official sale is not proof that the team has opened public sales at that price. Confirm that the listing names the correct opponent, date, and venue, then compare it with the 76ers-linked option. (help.ticketmaster.com)

I would not assume tickets will fall by a certain percentage as game day approaches. The sources reviewed do not establish a reliable 76ers resale-price curve. If you’re flexible, compare listings over time and decide on a personal maximum; if the game matters more than the price, waiting could leave fewer seats or fewer choices.

For a lower-risk purchase, start with the team’s Ticketmaster link and look for the resale label and final total. Other marketplaces may offer their own buyer terms, but those terms are not the same as the team’s official sale. Avoid treating a screenshot, email attachment, or seller promise as a ticket; check that the ticket appears in the account or app used for entry.

A practical buying plan

The public sale has passed, but the same steps help when checking remaining primary inventory, buying a permitted resale listing, or preparing for a future season’s announcement. The goal is simple: verify the event, set a budget based on the full total, and avoid rushing through a listing you have not checked.

Before the sale or purchase

Start at the official 76ers single-game page and follow its ticket link. Sign in to the account you plan to use, confirm that you can access its email or phone verification, and identify the game date and number of seats you need. The team identifies Ticketmaster as its official digital ticket source. (nba.com)

If you want early access, sign up for Sixthman email or text alerts and save the messages that include sale instructions. Before buying, read the event’s ticket limit and any seat restrictions. For the 2026–27 Ticketmaster example, the listed cap was four per presale and eight at public sale. (ticketmaster.com)

At checkout

Open the correct event page and check the date, opponent, venue, section, row, and ticket quantity. Compare the displayed total, not just the base price. Ticketmaster says required fees are included in the price shown, generally before taxes; review the final checkout screen for any added tax or delivery charge. (help.ticketmaster.com)

If the site places you in a queue, keep the page open and follow its on-screen directions. Avoid opening multiple sessions or making repeated payment attempts unless the site tells you to; doing so can make it harder to tell whether an order went through. Once payment is submitted, check the order in your account before trying again.

After purchase

Save the order confirmation and confirm that the tickets appear in your Ticketmaster account or the team’s linked ticket account. Ticketmaster says an accepted transfer creates a new barcode for the recipient, while the sender’s old barcode becomes invalid. Follow the transfer steps shown for your ticket; the transfer option can depend on the event organizer’s settings. (help.ticketmaster.com)

Do not count on a refund because a ticket later appears cheaper. Read the event’s terms for cancellation, postponement, resale, and transfer. Ticketmaster’s general information says resale tickets purchased through its platform are usually final unless the event is canceled, but the specific event terms control. (help.ticketmaster.com)

How the last sale played out

The 2026–27 release shows why it pays to separate the confirmed sale time from guesses about future availability. Ticketmaster listed September 17 at 10 a.m. EDT as the general-sale start, while a report published five days later described lower-bowl availability as already limited after several days. That report does not establish how many seats sold or prove that every game moved at the same pace. (ticketmaster.com)

A common trap is to treat “tickets available” as meaning “good seats at the original price are plentiful.” The event listing provides the useful facts: the public-sale time, its stated ticket cap, and a reminder that availability varies. Before purchasing, compare a seat’s final price against other seats for the same game and check whether it is primary inventory or marked resale. (ticketmaster.com)

For a 2027 game, I’d first search the official page for the exact date, then set a ceiling for the total cost. If suitable primary seats remain under that ceiling, compare sections and complete checkout. If not, compare clearly labeled resale listings and their delivery terms. That approach gives you a real choice without assuming the cheapest listing will stay available.

The 2026–27 single-game public sale began Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EDT on Ticketmaster. The date and time appear on Ticketmaster listings for 76ers home games. This sale includes games played in calendar year 2027; it is not the announced sale date for 2027–28. (ticketmaster.com)

Are 2027 76ers tickets on sale now?

As of November 9, 2026, the September 17 public sale has passed. That confirms the sale began, but it does not mean every game or seat remains available. Check the official 76ers ticket page and the linked Ticketmaster event for the game you want and its current inventory. (nba.com)

What time did the general sale start?

Ticketmaster lists the 2026–27 public sale start as 10:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday, September 17, 2026. That is the confirmed time for this season’s sale, not a standing annual rule. Earlier 76ers sales have used different reported start times. (ticketmaster.com)

How do I get presale access?

The 76ers’ single-game page lists the Sixthman newsletter and SMS alerts as presale-access routes. The page does not give a universal registration deadline or a guaranteed presale time. Sign up early, then follow the specific email or text instructions for the game and window you want. (nba.com)

What was the ticket limit for the 2026–27 sale?

A Ticketmaster listing for a 2026–27 76ers game showed a four-ticket limit during presales and an eight-ticket limit during public sale. Check your chosen game’s page because limits can be event-specific. Ticketmaster warns that orders over the listed limit may be canceled. (ticketmaster.com)

What was the cheapest 76ers ticket price?

The sources reviewed do not provide a verified starting price for the 2026–27 sale. A CBS Philadelphia report said tickets for the 2022–23 season started at $26, but that historical figure should not be used as a current price quote. Check the selected game’s listing for today’s prices. (cbsnews.com)

Does the NBA schedule release mean tickets are on sale?

No. The NBA announced the 2026–27 schedule on August 13, 2026, while Ticketmaster lists the 76ers public sale for September 17. The schedule release tells you when games are set; each team’s ticket sale needs its own announcement and event listing. (nba.com)

Is a resale ticket the same as a team ticket?

No. Ticketmaster says resale tickets are labeled and priced by the reseller, and may be above or below face value. Check the seller label, event date, seat details, delivery method, and total before you pay. For the official route, begin at the 76ers page and follow its Ticketmaster link. (help.ticketmaster.com)

Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Check whether the Transfer option is enabled for your event. Ticketmaster says that when a recipient accepts a transfer, they receive a new barcode and the sender’s ticket barcode is no longer valid. A transfer can be unavailable if the event organizer has turned it off, so confirm in your account. (help.ticketmaster.com)
