If you had to take a guess, what do you think would run you more? Tickets for the Warriors' final game of a potentially record breaking season? Or the final night of the Kobe farewell tour? As we sit just a few days away we now have a pretty good picture of what they're going for on the resale market and, shockingly, they're both quite affordable. No, just kidding, they're both expensive as hell.
For instance, if you want to watch Golden State go through Memphis for their 73rd win the cheapest seats will cost you $380 (standing room only) while two tickets to watch the game from VIP courtside are $15,900. Obviously there's a range there. Meaning hopefully you can find something that'll cause you to only default on a car payment instead of, say, something that'll force you to drop out of school.
As for seeing Kobe at home against Utah, the bonkers secondary market has dictated that those are even more valuable, as seats in the nosebleeds are going for $700 while some insanely optimistic online scalper is posting a pair of row one courtside seats for $25,750. We're not sure why you would drop that. But maybe you have a date who you're trying to impress? Then again it's possible he/she will be just as impressed sitting at home watching it on ESPN2? Think about it.
Just about every available option will likely leave you destitute and feeling like an a-hole next time you hit your ATM, or have your kneecaps crushed in with a baseball bat. But, if you're already in the area, remember that life on this earth is short. Bills and tuition and rent are secondary to making memories.
