Somebody is going to be sitting in the most expensive seats in NBA history tonight.

ESPN's Darren Rovell has reported that someone shelled out $133,000, including fees, for a pair of court side seats to tonight's NBA Finals Game 5 at Oracle Arena. 

The $133,000 price tag makes these the two most expensive seats in NBA history.

According to Rovell,

"A team source said that a Warriors season-ticket holder sold the seats on the team's Ticketmaster resale site on Sunday night. With buyer fees at 15 percent, the buyer paid more than $17,000 in fees alone for the pair of tickets."

The face value of the exact tickets is unknown, though some court side seats for the Finals have a face value of around $3,000 a piece.

In addition to the record $133k for a pair of seats to tonight's game, the team's Ticketmaster resale site also had two other major sales including $90,000 for one pair while another went for $82,000.

Game 5 of the NBA Finals tips tonight at 9pm on ABC and the WatchESPN app, neither of which will cost you a fortune to watch.
