THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH ARE THE REFS PAID TO KEEP THE LAKERS IN IT. I GUESS TICKETS WOULD NOT BE SO HOT IF THE LAKERS WERE DOWN 0-3. THEY SHOULD NOT BE SO BLATANT ABOUT HANDING THE GAME TO L.A.

I really can't understand how you can say that the Lakers were handed the game by the refs, I take nothing away from the C's great play but after that one sided officiating in Boston come get real. If you feel game 3 was given to the Lakers by refs then on behalf of the Lakers thank you for making up the games that were taken.

SOTMIKE, I( find your comment hilarious. In game 2 the free throw count was Boston 37 to the Lakers 10. So I think the question you should be asking is how much they are paying to keep the Celtics in it.
GO LAKERS

Things have really changed.... when I was a teenager I paid $20 for seats in the second tier almost half court for the Lakers (Jerry West , Chamberlain etc.)Now those same seats during the REGULAR season can only be purchased through brokers and are $450 or so each !!! As an underemployed teen is was alot easier to afford than it is now as a college grad. in my prime earning years... I wouldn't even consider spending $1800 to take my family to a game ( unless you want seats where u cant even see the action ) those are still cheap but why when you can watch it on tv .

I almost forgot to answer your question . What would I pay for a Laker Celtic Final game ? I thought about it and I would maybe pay $1000 for two pretty good seats - I'd take my brother ... if it was a game 7 maybe I'd go $1200 it would be hard to afford but its kind of a once in a lifetime thing....it really depends on how rich you are... I make about 90k but if I was rich and had a seven figure or so bank account why not pay $10K or so .
