Ticketmaster's website shows prices ranging from around $930 (for a nosebleed seat, high up in Section 300) to $14,000 for a seat that's courtside or close to the front row. A few highly desirable "Club Lexus Access" seats with a front row view of the action are even going for a whopping $30,000 or $50,000.

Should the Nuggets win Monday night's game it would be the biggest win in franchise history. The team would win its first championship after decades of not ever even making it to the final round of the NBA Playoffs.

People who are attending the game are encouraged to get there early to experience Ball Arena's Playoff Plaza. Starting an hour before the 6:30 p.m. tipoff, Supermascot Rocky will be out in the crowd with the Denver Nuggets dancers and there will be special giveaways and the Sport Court will be out.
