Fans who attempt to sit courtside for Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals on Sunday night will have to pay an insane amount of money.

After winning Game 6 on Thursday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers will head back to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors in Game 7. NBA Finals series don’t often go this far, so it will be a high-pressure, intense scene at Oracle Arena on Sunday night.

Given that this is the biggest game of the NBA season, tickets are going to cost a lot of money since fans in attendance will witness the 2016 NBA champion be crowned. If you’re going to try to sit courtside for this game, please reconsider. According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, a pair of courtside seats for Game 7 sold on Stubhub for $49,500 each, which is a record.

Now that’s just insane. $49,500 is a whole year’s salary for some people. Could you imagine forfeiting it for Sunday’s game?

Hopefully, for the people who bought these tickets, they get their money’s worth. Game 7 of the NBA Finals is one of the biggest events in sports, and given the talent that will be on the court, it should be some atmosphere. These two fans will see LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and others in this wild contest.

Seriously, though, $49,500? Is spending that much on this game worth it?
