The Boston Celtics/Los Angeles Lakers rivalry is back. With the two top teams battling their way to a decisive NBA Finals game 7 ticket prices have soared. The fact that Game 7 is at the Staples Center in celeb-stuffed Los Angeles only adds to the appeal and prestige. Several sites are offering tickets for some astronomical prices. Over on Musical Chairs Tickets you can spend over $60,000 each on a pair of courtside seats. At TicketsNow there are a variety of tickets available starting at $500 and soaring to $75,000 for courtside. Switching over to StubHub tickets begin at $590 and zoom up to over $80,000. Although both teams have won championships in the last several years the fact that they are battling each other brings out not only today's sports fans but all those who watched the epic Celtics-Lakers match-ups in the 1980s.

Kobe,

You couldn't carry Michael Jordan's jock.

The biggest CHOKE JOB in a Finals game that I have ever seen. No wonder you score 30 points a game, you take 800 shots.

Why should anyone spend $500 or more to watch grown men play basketball. If you can do this you have too much money! Look around. Get your real life back!

Must be execs from Fannie Mae sitting in those seats. I was offered $2500 for two finals courtside seats in 1988. I thought that was a lot of money. Guess not.

ANY ADULT WITH HALF A BRAIN WOULD NOT SPEND MORE THAN $20 - 30 TO WATCH ANYTHING THAT COULD BE SEEN ON TV OR LISTENED TO ON THE RADIO

AOL get it together. This game 7 is over..like a weeks old news..who cares..I watched it at home for free and got the replays too. I watched it because Phil Jackson graduated from the same high school I did. Williston Senoir High School in Williston, North Dakota. The Williston Coyotes. Orange and black fight back.
