The cheapest tickets on TicketIQ, an aggregate of primary and secondary markets, for entrance into Oracle for the Finals next week is $423 _ down from $665 last year and $594 in 2015.
Given, the average price ($2,080) is about the same as last year ($2,029) and substantially more than in 2015 ($1,465), according to TicketIQ.
