The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors face off in game 5 tonight at Oracle Arena in the Bay Area. The Warriors will be looking to become 2017 NBA Finals Champions and celebrate in front of their own fans, while the Cavs will be trying to force a game 6 back in Cleveland.
Subsequently, the severity of game 5 of the NBA Finals makes for some wild storylines and some that go beyond the hardwood. An interesting story serviced today that involved a fans road to get to the hardwood and be a spectator for game 5.
Following from Darren Rovell of ESPN.
A person paid $133,000, including fees, for two floor seats to Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena to possibly see the Golden State Warriors win their second title in three years.
A team source said that a Warriors season-ticket holder sold the seats on the team’s Ticketmaster resale site on Sunday night. With buyer fees at 15 percent, the buyer paid more than $17,000 in fees alone for the pair of tickets.
While the face value of the specific tickets is unknown, some courtside seats for the Finals have a face value of $3,000 each, according to a document sent by the Warriors to fans during renewal time last year.
Whoever this fan may be, he definitely paid a pretty penny and his or her seats have become the most expensive seats in NBA history.
