Oakland (United States) (AFP) - Tickets for Sunday's decisive seventh-game NBA Finals championship showdown between the Cleveland Cavaliers and defending champion Golden State are going for a king's ransom on the resale market.
StubHub spokesman Cameron Papp says the ticket resale firm sold the most expensive non-suite seats in its 16-year history to the Father's Day matchup at Oakland's Oracle Arena, with each ticket going for $49,500 (43,900 euros).
Papp told USA Today and ESPN that the unidentified purchaser of the courtside seats broke the website's old record of $37,000 for a front-row seat to game four of the 2008 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics.
