The New Orleans Pelicans are the NBA franchise representing New Orleans, Louisiana, competing in the Western Conference's Southwest Division.
About the New Orleans Pelicans
The franchise arrived in New Orleans in the early 2000s and adopted the Pelicans identity in 2013, embracing the bird native to the region's bayous and its distinctive navy, red and gold colours. While the club is still building its story compared with the league's oldest names, it has become a fixture in the competitive Southwest Division and a proud part of the city's sporting culture. Over the years the Pelicans have been closely associated with several standout talents, including the electrifying guard play of Chris Paul in the early years and, more recently, high-profile stars who have made the team a regular feature on national broadcasts. On a game night the arena has an energy that reflects New Orleans itself, with a lively, music-loving crowd, plenty of local colour and a fast, up-tempo style on the court. The venue offers everything from courtside seats close to the action to a spirited upper bowl where the atmosphere builds through the fourth quarter. The intimacy of NBA arenas means even seats further from the floor feel connected to the drama. The Pelicans' most anticipated fixtures tend to be Southwest Division battles against the likes of the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies, all of which carry regional edge. Visits from the league's biggest names and marquee Western Conference contenders also draw some of the loudest and most sought-after crowds of the season.
Tickets
With an 82-game NBA regular season, the Pelicans play 41 home games, so availability across the calendar is far wider than you would find in the NFL. Prices naturally move with demand: fixtures against glamorous visiting teams, weekend tip-offs, nationally televised games and any postseason basketball tend to command the strongest interest, while midweek games against less prominent opponents are often gentler on the wallet. Seating tiers shape the experience too, from courtside and lower-bowl seats that put you right beside the players to the upper tiers that offer a broader view and a brilliant sense of the whole arena's atmosphere. Every listing on Staadly comes from verified sellers with all-in pricing, so the figure you see includes fees, and each purchase is covered by our 100% buyer guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
How many home games do the Pelicans play each season?
The NBA regular season runs to 82 games, which means the Pelicans host 41 home games, plus any additional home fixtures should they qualify for the postseason. That gives buyers plenty of dates to choose from throughout the season.
When is the NBA schedule released?
The league typically confirms the full regular-season schedule in the off-season, ahead of the autumn tip-off. Once dates are published, listings for Pelicans home games become available, and popular fixtures tend to attract early interest.
Which Pelicans games cost the most, and why?
Prices are driven by demand. Games against marquee opponents, division rivals, weekend fixtures and nationally televised match-ups usually carry the highest interest, while midweek games against less prominent teams are often more affordable. Postseason basketball is the most sought-after of all.
How do playoff tickets differ from regular-season ones?
Playoff games carry higher stakes and greater demand, so they are typically among the most popular of any season. Availability depends on the team qualifying, and interest tends to build as a series progresses, so acting early is wise.
What is the difference between courtside and upper-tier seats?
Courtside and lower-bowl seats place you close to the players and the intensity of the action, ideal if you want to feel every play. Upper-tier seats offer a wider, panoramic view of the court and a superb sense of the arena's collective atmosphere, usually at a more accessible price.
