我以前住在纽约，具体来说是布鲁克林。我记得和圣安东尼奥（我成长并现居的地方）相比，那里的物价有多贵。十多年前，我租了一套800平方英尺（约74平方米）的公寓，其租金至今比我现在的房贷还要贵。
纽约是文化中心——音乐会、戏剧、交响乐、歌剧应有尽有——但这一切都价格不菲。
眼下，没有什么门票比NBA总决赛的门票更抢手了。根据最新查询，票价仍在持续上涨。
NBA总决赛的票价已经失控了

真正的尼克斯球迷正因为高昂的票价被拒之门外。第三场的山顶位门票大约要8200美元，第四场起步价为8500美元，而第六场更是突破了9000美元。这比超级碗和世界杯的门票还要贵。简直疯狂…… pic.twitter.com/1mSHomqJKA

第三场山顶位的最低入场价为8200美元。仅自周四以来，这就上涨了700美元。第四场起步价为8500美元，而如果打到第六场，入场门票将花费你9000美元。这比超级碗门票还要贵，甚至超过了即将到来的国际足联世界杯门票。
周四，NBA为马刺和尼克斯举办了媒体日。杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 被问到了这样一个问题：
“我知道你正专注于明天的比赛，但你也知道纽约正为你们所做的一切而疯狂。票价已经到了荒谬的地步。昨晚你们赢球后，票价更是疯狂飙升。有报道称，麦迪逊广场花园最后一排的座位售价高达7500美元。什么样的演出会让你愿意花这么多钱去现场看？”
布伦森思考了一会儿。在思考这个设想时，可以清晰地听到他的呼吸声。
“这是个好问题。迈克尔·杰克逊 (Michael Jackson) 的现场演出。这个回答不错，真的不错。”
布伦森在回答时微微一笑，显露出他确实被这个提问惊到了。他的回答也表明他有着令人敬佩的复古品味。迈克尔·杰克逊是历史上最伟大、最受欢迎的音乐家之一，也是一位令人惊叹的表演者。时至今日，*《颤栗》*依然是历史上最畅销的专辑。
换个角度来看，1984年看一场迈克尔·杰克逊演唱会的门票大约是30美元，在当时这已经被认为很高了。1988年，去伦敦温布利球场看他的*《真棒》*世界巡回演唱会，门票是17.50英镑，相当于今天的约65美元。而在上世纪80年代，7500美元应该能让你享受到演唱会门票、后台通行证、高档餐饮、豪华轿车接送、飞往任意城市的私人飞机，甚至还能在《那女孩是我的》 (The Girl Is Mine) 中合唱保罗·麦卡特尼 (Paul McCartney) 的部分。
随着系列赛移师大苹果城，不妨自己也思考一下这个问题——有什么门票值得你花掉7500美元的血汗钱吗？

Open Thread: The value of an NBA Finals Game 3 ticket has skyrocketed
I used to live in New York, Brooklyn to be exact. I remember how expensive it was compared to San Antonio, where I grew up and currently live. Over a decade ago, I paid rent on an 800 square foot apartment that to this day is more expensive than the mortgage on my house.
New York is a hub of culture — concerts, theater, symphonies, operas — but it will cost you.
Right now, there is no hotter ticket available than the NBA Finals. At last search, ticket prices continue to rise.
NBA Finals ticket prices are out of control
Real Knicks fans are getting priced out. Game 3 tickets are around $8.2K for nosebleeds, Game 4 starts at $8.5K, and Game 6 tops $9K. That’s more expensive than Super Bowl and World Cup tickets. Insane… pic.twitter.com/1mSHomqJKA

Game 3’s “get in” price is $8,200 for a nosebleed seat. That’s a $700 rise since Thursday alone. Game 4 starts at $8,500 and entry to a possible Game 6 will run you $9,000. That’s more than a Super Bowl ticket or even a seat at the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
On Thursday, the NBA held media day for both the Spurs and Knicks. Jalen Brunson got this question:
“I know you’re focused on tomorrow, but you know New York is going crazy for everything that you guys do. Ticket prices have been ridiculous. Last night after you guys won, they went crazy higher. There was a report that in the last row of the Garden, there are seats on sale for $7,500. What show would you pay that amount of money to go see?”
Brunson took a minute. His beathe was audible as he considered the premise.
“That’s a good question. A live Michael Jackson performance. That’s a good one. That’s a good one.”
Brunson smirked as he responded, revealing he was really taken aback by the question. His answer also reveals he some respectable old school tastes. Michael Jackson was one one of the greatest and most popular music artists, he was an amazing performer. To this day, Thriller remains the best selling album of all time.
For perspective, a ticket to see Michael Jackson in 1984 cost roughly $30, considered high at the time. In 1988, a ticket to see his Bad world tour at London’s Wembley Stadium was £17.50, or roughly $65 in American dollars today. $7,500 in the 80s should have yielded the concert, backstage passes, catered meal, limo to and from, private jet to the city of your choice, and singing Paul McCartney part on “The Girl Is Mine.”
As the series heads to The Big Apple, contemplate the question for yourself- is there a ticket worth $7,500 of your hard earned money?
