Ticket prices in professional sports, in general, have skyrocketed over the past few years, leading to many fans expressing their discontent on social and refusing to pay ridiculous prices, especially for NBA games where the best players might not even play.
As the NBA playoffs draw near, one matchup between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors has fans outraged at the incredibly high price for the lowest ticket price.
All signs point to the Kings and Warriors having a Bay Area battle in the first round of the playoffs, which has some wondering why this regular-season game is so pricey to attend.

The Warriors are now battling for seeding in the Western Conference as only one game separates them and the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.
The results of the final two games of the regular season will impact the playoff seeding and, therefore, the first-round matchups in the West, making this game crucial for two reasons.
One, it could be the first-round opponent for the Warriors, which means they’ll get a look at what they’ll need to beat to advance to the second round of the postseason.
Two, the outcomes of this game and the regular-season finale against the Portland Trail Blazers could result in a different matchup, which would include a lot more travel and a more formidable opponent, as they could end up facing the Phoenix Suns or Memphis Grizzlies.
