The Warriors did not sell out Game 1 of the NBA Finals
Chris Cwik,Yahoo Sports • May 31, 2018

Maybe Golden State Warriors fans have grown tired of seeing their team in the NBA Finals. With just minutes to go before the Warriors took on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1, tickets were still available for purchase.

That’s right, Game 1 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena was not a sell out, according to Darren Rovell of ESPN.

1002352746140401665

It’s not as if the two teams would have to play in front of a bunch of empty seats, though. As Rovell says in his tweet, there were fewer than 500 tickets left. Most of those tickets were in the 300 level.

We should also note that Rovell’s tweet came 15 minutes before the game started. Given the low number of tickets still available, it’s definitely possible the game sold out before tipoff.

Or who knows? Warriors and Cavs fans have seen this matchup before. This is the fourth-straight season the two teams have met in the NBA Finals.

After already seeing their team win multiple titles during its current run, maybe Warriors fans are saving their money so they can hop on the 49ers bandwagon early.

"Best crowd on the NBA" :lmao

[Spurtacular]

What were the prices on those tickets?

[nickdakoolkat]

Ive been priced out...tbh I can’t justify spending 600 bucks for me and my wife to sit in the upper level

[nickdakoolkat]

The cheapest lower level seats I saw were 800 bucks each.

[Spurtacular]

$600 - $800 to see your team in an NBA Finals is not that bad generally speaking, tbh. But if the fans know that they'll have plenty of opportunities to see them cos the league's cheating their asses off to get them back there, then I can see easily foregoing it.

[nickdakoolkat]

No not 800 total bro, 800 each so if I go my wife will want to go that’s 1600 bucks...as much as I’d like to see my team win a title, they ain’t paying my Bay Area mortgage or my children’s daycare so. I’ll see it on tv

there is plenty of money in the Bay to fill those seats.

from idiots who don't understand or care about basketball. And then you wonder why the modern game is such a failure :lol

[Chillen]

Their team is expected to win the 2018 NBA title. Why pay money for something that you know is probably going to happen anyway. So the fans now expect an NBA championship and would rather just watch it at home I bet. Another thing to consider is it's the same Finals matchup since 2015. Fans have been there done that with that matchup and don't see the need to pay big bucks for a seat for the same matchup.

Dudes are struggling to pay $3500 rent for their single bedroom in SF. Give them a break man.

[LkrFan]

OP acts like they sell $15 courtside seats like the Spurs :lol

It's not much to get excited about watching Durant take another helicopter ride to the top of Mount Everest. Maybe an injury or two will change the landscape.

Why do people blame Durant but not the rest of the Warriors?

Before Durant they were selling out their finals. But now apparently there's only room for one sell out in their building

IMO: the rest of the Hamptons Five are equally as cowardly for begging him to join.

[Arcadian]

:lol "dynasty" not selling out a Finals game
:lol faggots

This, tbh

Dude, you go with a friend willing to pay for his ticket. I personally think that's still too high. You might as well just buy a nice 4K TV instead.

[Bynumite]

Best Finals since 2010 tbh imho.

[David Stern]

Best Finals since 2010 tbh imho.

What about the 2011 Semis when the Mavs prison raped your Lakers?

Plus, parking, gas or transportation to the arena, etc...if not concessions at the arena, then food while you're out. Looks like close to a $2,000 outing when the dust settles.

Yeah, you can budget things out for a regular season but budgeting for a playoff run, especially a long playoff run can be tough.

Ding! [Rimshot]

:rollin

[DeRozan m8]

Eh, no surprise, the league is as boring as ever.

[21209]

Big deal.

While you have plenty of idiots willing to shell out thousands upon thousands of dollars for average to lousy tickets, I'll happily watch from the comfort of my home hassle-free.

I'll shell out my money for the things I really want or need.

[Killakobe81]

Not the finals, reading is fundamental ...

This. I paid good $ for game 7 of the WCF in 2000 during shaqobe era. Felt it was worth it because I knew we would win and we had not rang since 1988.
I was not in L.A. for the 2008-2010 Kobepau Lakers but paid good money to see them when they came to Dallas, including the come from behind Mavs game 3 win that ended the series before the Mother's day massacre.
IF were in La I would only pay for signature game moments, partly due to pricing/traffic (even though i make much more in 2000 but then i had no mortgage and no kids) and partly because I have a 4K Tv55 inch and 120 inch screen with a Sony projector ... pretty hard to enjoy the games better than I can at home.
I pick and choose a few games to go each year and I save $ and get a better experience, no outrageous parking, overpriced foods, corporate shills and annoying kids on their cellphones.

Fuck that, for 800.00 bucks the wife's gonna stay her fucking ass at home
