Actually, that ticket sold for $468,000.00. From SCD's site:

When NBA fan Michael Cole couldn’t find anyone to go with him to the Oct. 26, 1984 game between the Chicago Bulls and Washington Bullets at Chicago Stadium, he bought a ticket and went by himself.

That decision now seems like one of the best moves he ever made.

A young player named Michael Jordan made his NBA debut that night, scoring 16 points, grabbing six rebounds and dishing out seven assists in the Bulls’ 106-93 win.

Thirty-seven years later, Cole sold the ticket to Jordan’s NBA debut for a record $468,000 in Heritage Auctions’ Winter Platinum Night Sports Auction.
