Being the son of LeBron James comes with much hype, and as a result G-League ticket prices have already soared.
Bronny James is set to make his G League debut for the South Bay Lakers on Saturday.
The game is sold out, but there are a few listings on @TickPick.

Notably, Bronny's game vs. the Salt Lake City Stars on November 9 (5:00 pm PT), will be more expensive to attend than any other NBA game this weekend.
To note, before the news broke, tickets for Saturday's game were around $60 (per TMZ),
However, now they are sold out, and resell prices have become sky-high, nearly $300 for the lowest-priced entry on SeatGeek.
On TickPick, the cheapest seat is $189, while Vivid has it around $105 and GameTime for $99.
For the best seats, that will cost a little extra, as Stubhub has floor seats going for around $700.
Bronny's highly anticipated G-League debut shouldn't come as a surprise though, as head coach JJ Redick mentioned this was the plan all along.
"Plan for Bronny to move between the Lakers and South Bay has always been the plan since day one," Redick said at the start of the season.
The former USC player is set to play in South Bay home games this season, which will be played at UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo, California.
As for becoming the first father-son duo in NBA history, Bronny and his dad already made history as James Sr. and Jr. shared the court together during the season opener vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Then when going up against his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers team, Bronny scored his first career NBA points.
