Joey Graziano, Pacers vice president for strategy and sports entertainment Joey Graziano told News 8 on Daybreak the game against Philadelphia is part of the Lucas Oil Family Night Promotion, with tickets ranging from $20 to $35.
“(That) includes a meal voucher, they also include a piece of merchandise, so truly the best deal in all of sports,” he said.
The Pacers will have other Lucas Oil Family Nights on Nov. 15 when they’re up against the Miami Heat, and Dec. 8 against the Charlotte Hornets.
On Wednesday, Indiana will host the defending NBA champion the Boston Celtics. The Pacers gained national attention last season when they faced Boston in the Eastern Conference finals.

“We want to make sure we got a lot of flexibility, we want to be able to meet our fans exactly where they are, so if you are only able to come a couple games a year we can put together mini packages, obviously we got single game tickets,” he said.
