On Thursday, ScoreBig published their list of the most and least expensive places to see LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, in terms of ticket price. ScoreBig bills itself as "the leading online marketplace for unsold ticket inventory where fans say how much they’re willing to pay for tickets that are below box office price without any fees or shipping charges."
10 Most Expensive Cities (Sorted Alphabetically, Not Price)
Boston
Brooklyn
Chicago
Houston
Miami
New York
Oklahoma
Portland
Sacramento
San Antonio
It's sweet that a. Celtics tickets are still in high demand and b. fans will stil want to come out and boo LeBron. It would be nice if James would respond to their vitriol with a "sorry, who are y'all again?"
In Brooklyn, everything is expensive and the Bulls would sell out if their roster was the Sixers'. OK, not that far, but just above it. Hollis Thompson would be a legend in Chicago. Who's Hollis Thompson? Exactly.
Yeah, I would imagine those Heat-Cavs tickets are a might bit expensive.
How about Oklahoma City? Jacking those prices up in the small market. Just remember, they don't want to pay the luxury tax.
... Sacramento? Really? OK, well, good on the Kings fans?
Spurs fans will line up around the block to hold their noses up to him. They're basically the Sneeches from Dr. Seuss at this point.

Not even I'm cruel enough to make fun of Detroit.
Dallas is a little shocking. I mean, that's not a cheap city, and that arena fills up every night. Plus, you know, 2011 memories. Betting that one will go up as it gets closer.
The Cavs are coming in November to Denver, or as it's known here (I live there) "What do you mean hockey/basketball/baseball/politics/world events? What's that? BRONCOS SEASON."
The Pacers will simply never demand high prices, which is weird for how good that team was, even with George out.
Memphis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Orlando, Salt Lake City. What do these cities have in common?
And Philadelphia... the fans are down with the rebuilding process... but that doesn't mean they want to pay though the nose to watch their team be obliterated.
