StubHub sold its most expensive non-suite seats in its 16-year history Friday, as a person bought two courtside seats to Game 7 of the NBA Finals for $49,500 apiece.
StubHub spokesman Cameron Papp told ESPN that the price of the seats topped the previous record of $37,000 paid on the ticket resale site for a courtside seat to Game 4 of the NBA Finals in 2008 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. StubHub also sold a seat to the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight last May for $35,000.
Papp said he could not disclose the buyer, but he did reveal that he was "well known."
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won each of the past two games in the Finals to set up Sunday's decisive Game 7 against the Golden State Warriors at Oakland's Oracle Arena.
StubHub sold five other tickets to Game 6 for $25,000 each, while the Warriors' resale site sold two tickets on Friday to Sunday's game for $21,500 each.
The NBA Finals have had no shortage of Silicon Valley money and star power.
On Thursday night in Cleveland for Game 6, Jay Z and Beyonce sat courtside. Drake and rapper 2 Chainz attended Game 5 in Oakland.
