$49,500 Courtside Seats Sold For Warriors-Cavs Game 7 On StubHub

OAKLAND - Be looking for someone special in the front row tonight at Oracle Arena when you watch the Warriors game.

Not just anyone special. Rather, someone StubHub special.

Because this special person - actually two people - paid $49,500 for each of two tickets to see Game 7 of the Golden State Warriors/Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Sunday night in Oakland.

According to ESPN, these were the most expensive tickets the online broker has ever handled.

Maybe it's a Father's Day gift.

It is a record.

StubHub spokesman Cameron Papp told ESPN the price of the seats exceeded by more than $10,000 the previous record of $37,000 paid for a courtside seat to Game 4 of the NBA Finals in 2008 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics.

According to our rough calculations, the cost to each buyer is about $275 per minute to enjoy three hours of action.

For comparison, as he competes in this season's 106th Warriors game tonight, Steph Curry will be making about $596 per minute for those three hours, as Curry is paid about $107,271 per game.

Many say Curry is underpaid.

Papp told ESPN he could not say who the StubHub buyer was, only saying he was "well known."
