How much did those prime tickets cost you?

Colin Baxter: $3,500 … each.

Reid: That’s not counting the service charges. They were $3,900 after that. We were able to get them on StubHub and get basically the exact seats we wanted.

How much did this whole trip cost you when you factor in hotel, airfare and other expenses?

Reid: Probably at least 10 grand.

Baxter: There was an usher who was great to us, and we asked him to let us know if we were getting out of control. After our signs got taken away, he told us the Thunder owner was really mad we were there. No one told us officially, but he was apparently very disturbed by our presence. If anything they should be stoked. We paid a high premium to be here!

In February 2012, it was reported that Christopher Hansen, a wealthy San Francisco hedge-fund manager, had made progress to purchase land in the Sodo neighborhood with the hope of building an arena to bring the professional basketball team and hockey to Seattle.
Estimates have indicated that costs for the arena would run between $450 to $500 million and include $200 million in private investment toward the arena.

On June 13, 2012, it was announced that Hansen's ownership team includes Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Erik Nordstrom, and Peter Nordstrom.

Nuts. I really hope Seattle is able to get another NBA team someday. That's the definition of diehard there.
