Someone who will be sitting courtside at Game 7 of the Western Conference finals at Oracle Arena Monday night paid $58,000 for a pair of tickets – $29,000 apiece. The tickets were purchased on the Warriors' Ticketmaster-operated resale site, according to a report by ESPN.com's Darren Rovell.

Darren Rovell also reported on his Twitter feed that StubHub sold a second-row seat for $10,000, an "astronomical" price for a non-floor seat to a game that's not part of the NBA Finals.
While floor seats are not included in this calculation, the series-deciding game between the Thunder and Warriors is commanding $960 per ticket, the second-highest price for a Game 7 in the NBA playoffs since the Heat hosted the Spurs in the 2013 Finals, when folks were paying $1,346 per seat.
There were a few tickets put up for sale by the Warriors on Sunday night, and the ducats, which ranged in price for $230 to $2,150, were gone in less than five minutes.
StubHub, which is suing the Warriors and Ticketmaster for conspiring to control both the primary and secondary ticketing markets, sold tickets for Monday’s Game 7 for an average of $824, the cheapest going for $359.
