China Net Sports June 5th Beijing time, the NBA Finals will be about to start. The showdown between the Cavaliers and the Warriors is full of highlights, so the ticket prices of the game continue to soar. According to ESPN, on two American websites that resell tickets, the average ticket price of G1 is $1,023 (Ticketmaster) and $1,535 (StubHub), setting a record for the G1 in the NBA all-time Finals.
Last season, the average price of G1 against the Spurs on StubHub was $460; the average price of G1 in the 2013 Finals was $558. In 2012, the average price of the Thunder vs. Heat was $655, and in 2011, the average price of the Heat vs. Mavericks was $486. Only after comparison can we know how high the ticket price this year is.
72-year-old Warriors fan Gary Lis has been buying Warriors season tickets since 1962. Such loyal Warriors fans have also wavered in the face of high ticket prices and resold the two seats he ordered in the G1 for a high price of $8,000. He said the price of his ticket was $1,600, which means that the reselling made him a net profit of $6,400.
Although he was regretful to miss a game, he still didn't want to leave money and not make money. "I can watch 1 million games, it's just a game. Selling tickets makes enough money for me to watch all the games next season."
"It's not bad to watch HD broadcasts at home," he said. "Besides, my children are also very supportive of me selling tickets."
Before the game started, the most expensive seat sold by Ticketmaster was on the sidelines, with a price of up to $36,843; the cheapest ticket price on the site was also $693. The most expensive record for StubHub transactions is $35,612; the cheapest is $80 per ticket.
It is also worth mentioning that the highest price on the Ticketmaster website is 58,520 per picture, and there are only two seats in the game with such a high price, all at the basket.
