    Game 1 courtside seat $29,500 apiece

    man, that's obscene price for a seat ticket as reported by cnnsi

    Ticket watch

    --- Have $118,000 burning a hole in your wallet?
    Well, then, you can grab four courtside seats to Game 1 of the NBA finals.
    Someone on the online reseller StubHub had that package of four seats listed for the low, low price of $29,500 apiece on Saturday. Standing-room seats were slightly more affordable, listed for $148 in some cases.
    Another secondary market seller, TicketNetwork.com, said the average price for a seat at Game 1 was going for around $1,150. The highest-priced item in its available inventory Saturday was a suite for $42,413.
    There's still a chance for face-value seats, too: The Heat say it's likely a small amount of tickets for Game 1 may be released over the coming days.

    Market sets the price... and nobody is forcing you to grab a courtside seat either But yeah, that's expensive... just not for celebs and such.

    I would need a minimum of 30m bankroll before even considering justifying paying 118k for 4 tics

    Too many sports on tv to spend that kind of money unless you Jack Nichalson.It is much better on TV.I have my 50 plus inch screen all the games are in HD.I can rewind live Tv with DVR.I have fridge full of beer and food.I only go to the occasional Baseball or Hockey game cause they are much better in person.Baskettball and football not much differance between tv and in person.

    Im surprised its not priced higher. They know that $30k is pocket change for celebs and such that actually buy these seats.
