Fan Drops Nauseating Amount of Money on Courtside Seats for Warriors-Raptors Game 3 at Oracle
By Zack Jiang
The NBA Finals make for some of the most memorable moments in sports. To witness it live is placed on the bucket list of many basketball fans, but the astronomical prices limit everyone's wishes. However, it seems one fan is going all out this year for the Finals experience.
According to Darren Rovell, a fan recently paid $93,200 for a pair of courtside seats in Oracle Arena for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
That is... A LOT of money.
And another group of fans just splurged for Game 4!
For what it's worth, courtside seats are an unbelievable experience where fans can be a few feet away from the action. And this year, the festivities are going to be a bit different.
This is the first time the Warriors are facing another opponent besides the LeBron Cavaliers in the Finals, and it should present an exciting series. It's also possible it is the last time fans will see Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins in a Warriors uniform, as both have been speculated to leave during the offseason. To top it all off, this is the last year the Warriors will be playing in the Oracle Arena, as the team will be relocating to the Chase Center in San Francisco starting next season.
These unique variables could justify the cost for some. It also won't be just the courtside ticket holders that will have to fork out a ton of money. Even the worst seats are going to cost you over a grand.
Thinking about the price of these tickets certainly makes me sick. But hey, if you got the money, why not enjoy the full experience?
