Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers is set for Sunday, but it seems as though there might be a small battle going on off the court, too.
The Cavs allegedly aren’t happy about the Warriors selling them tickets for friends and family at $1,300 apiece, ESPN’s Darren Rovell reported Friday. Sources told Rovell the tickets cost about half that much last year.
A Warriors spokesperson couldn’t confirm that Warriors players were being charged the same for their tickets but did tell Rovell that ticket prices went up for everyone — fans and the Dubs included — due to supply and demand. The team also said the Cavs were offered the same seats they were offered last season.
The $1,300 price tag still is a discount from the $1,600 season ticket holders pay at face value.
The Warriors and Cavs square off at Oracle Arena at 8 p.m. ET. Golden State is up 1-0 after beating Cleveland 104-89 in Game 1.
