You have to look at this as you did for the CAVS. Would you pay these outrageous prices for a non-clinching game? How high would you have gone to for game 7 with CAVS?
The non clinching games will drop like a hot potato before the game.
But I would have paid any price for the Cavs game 7. I had the flight booked to SFO for months. Luckily I waited until 2 hours before the game and got great seats for less than the cost of standing room a few days earlier.
And yes, I've had flights booked to LAX and ORD for this Sunday for quite some time as well. 1K FTW.
