Warriors 1st Round Playoff Tickets Are League's Most Expensive On Secondary Market

OAKLAND (CBS SF) - The National Basketball League's best team during the regular season is now the hottest ticket in the country, when it comes to the first round of the playoffs.

The cheapest seats for Saturday's matinee between the Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans hovered around $150 on StubHub for most of the day Friday, that's just a few dollars more than the entry fee for the all-Texas affair between the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets. Seats to Tuesday's game two at Oracle Areana were offered for about the same amount. On high end, VIP courtside seats were on offer for nearly $3,000.

If you're willing to fly to New Orleans for game three, you can find seats for about $60.

The only other NBA series where the cheapest seats offer was more than $100 was the game two matchup between the Washington Wizards and the Toronto Raptors. The cheapest first round seat could be found in Atlanta, where game two seats were offered for $30, according to StubHub listings Friday afternoon.

For those of you who won't be attending, here's where to find the round one games on television.
