    You could have seats at the Rockets game for the entire season and go James Harden at V-Live every night for that.

    Buyer pays $133K for two courtside tickets to Game 5 of NBA Finals
    Someone will be sitting in the most expensive seats in NBA history on Monday night in Oakland.

    A person paid $133,000, including fees, for two floor seats to Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena to possibly see the Golden State Warriors win their second title in three years.


    A team source said that a Warriors season-ticket holder sold the seats on the team's Ticketmaster resale site on Sunday night. With buyer fees at 15 percent, the buyer paid more than $17,000 in fees alone for the pair of tickets.

    While the face value of the specific tickets is unknown, some courtside seats for the Finals have a face value of $3,000 each, according to a document sent by the Warriors to fans during renewal time last year.

    The average resale price on the team site for Game 5 is $1,731, which is almost 20 percent higher than last year's Game 5 between the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers ($1,444).

    The site had two other big sales for the most prime seats in the arena -- one pair was sold for $90,000, while another was sold for $82,000.

    He should be allowed to take the seats with him once he leaves the game.

    If you're courtside you're on TV. Finals games get tons of post-game airplay. If GSW closes it out you get even more potential TV time. So if the dude is a McDonald's actor who shows up in full-on Ronald McDonald it makes sense.

    Looks like someone sold off his tech stocks just in the nick of time.
