Game 7 NBA Finals VIDEO: Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs Courtside Seats Selling for $30,000 [PHOTOS]
The Miami Heat have forced a Game 7 against the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA Finals, and if basketball junkies want to sit courtside at the American Airlines center, they will have to pay big money.
The Miami Herald noted that when the 2013 NBA Finals tickets first went on sale in early June, there were plently of home game tickets available for decent prices.
Now, with the anticipation of Game 7 set to tip-off coming off one of the most entertaining basketball games from Tuesday's Game 6, prices have increased.
The Sun Sentinel reported that one broker in South Florida recently sold four courtside seats for $30,000 each, with the company owner, saying that the tickets were "probably the most expensive we've sold for a Heat game."
VividSeats.com and StubHub.com have listed standing-room-only tickets from the high $300s to low $500s, lower-level seats for $1,000 to $3,000, courtside seats for as much as $37,663, according to TIME magazine.
Meanwhile, the Heat and Spurs' players have only a NBA championship title in mind.
Game 6 proved that a six-point lead in the last 28.2 seconds of the four quarter means little to nothing.
Spurs' veteran guard Manu Ginobili told reporters on Tuesday that the his teams' loss was very disappointing.
"Bad. Very bad," Ginobili said. "It's a tough moment. We were a few seconds away from winning the championship, and we let it go.
"I have no idea how we're going to get re-energized. I'm devastated."
LeBron James reeled the Heat back in when he made one a 3-pointer with 20 seconds to go and Ray Allen shot another one to tie the game.
The Heat won, 103-100, but James said his number one goal is to win Game 7.
"We have to do whatever it takes to bring that trophy, or keep that trophy, here in Miami," James said. "Hasn't been many teams to win back-to-back championships. It's so hard. It's the hardest thing. I said last year it was the hardest thing I've ever done, winning my first. Last year don't even come close to what we've gone through in this postseason and in these Finals."
Game 7 kicks off Thursday night at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
