New Orleans runs 2 pro teams across NBA and NFL — the Pelicans (NBA) and the Saints (NFL). With about 41 home dates a year, the Pelicans at Smoothie King Center tend to hold the city's softest weeknight inventory — that's where seats under $50 surface most often. This page filters live listings down to tickets under $50 and sorts them cheapest-first, so the best value sits at the top. Across the US, dynamic pricing means the same seat can swing day-to-day — watching MLB/NBA weeknight slates and non-marquee opponents tends to surface the cheapest tickets.
How to find cheap sports tickets in New Orleans
Basketball pricing tracks the marquee visitors: the Pelicans at Smoothie King Center discount weeknight games against lottery teams, where upper-bowl corners are the value seats in Central Business District.
Football is the scarcest ticket — just 9 home dates means the Saints at Caesars Superdome rarely dip cheap, but early-season and cold-weather late-season games are where resale softens first.
New Orleans sports market at a glance
New Orleans carries 2 pro teams across NBA and NFL, putting about 50 home dates on the annual calendar. The overlap between seasons — especially when NBA and NFL run concurrently — splits local demand and can push prices down on the less-hyped matchups.
Venue capacity shapes the price floor here. Caesars Superdome seats 73,208 for Saints games, which creates more available inventory per event and generally softer resale pricing. In contrast, Smoothie King Center holds 16,867, so Pelicans tickets carry tighter supply and higher floors on popular dates.
When to buy: New Orleans sports calendar
The NBA season runs October through April, while NFL picks up from September through January. New Orleans buyers benefit from the overlap window when both teams play at home — that's when secondary-market competition is fiercest among sellers and price drops are most common.
With just nine regular-season home dates, NFL tickets in New Orleans carry the tightest supply of any major sport. Buying early for marquee opponents locks in a price before demand peaks, while late-season games in poor weather can see resale dips if the team is out of contention.
Game-day guide: New Orleans venues
Smoothie King Center — Pelicans (NBA)
Smoothie King Center (16,867 seats) is a large indoor arena in Central Business District that hosts Pelicans (NBA) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. On-site parking is available in numbered garages and surface Lots 3 and 4, totaling roughly 7,000 spaces. Served by RTA streetcar and bus stops within a short walk; the Loyola/UPT streetcar line and Union Passenger Terminal are nearby.
Caesars Superdome — Saints (NFL)
Caesars Superdome (73,208 seats) is a large open-air stadium in Central Business District that hosts Saints (NFL) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Seven on-site garages and two surface lots managed by Legends Global serve the dome, with overflow at the nearby Champions Square and Hyatt Regency garages. The Loyola Avenue streetcar's Poydras Street station is about a six-minute walk away, with multiple RTA bus routes stopping at Poydras and LaSalle.
