This is absurd. I've never seen a jump like that in-series. I assume the same seat will be $500 for Finals Game 3 and go up from there.

My wife and I have a quarter season package with the Thunder. Our seats are in the 200 level. Not down in 100 with all the moneyed swells, nor up in the upper level. I like them because they are close to the action, but also high enough up that you can actually see plays develop. For context, seats ran about $135 each in the regular season.
For the playoffs, we've gone to one game each series. But, I buy seats from the team rather than the resale market, which gets expensive. For the Denver series, we went to game 7 and tickets up in the 300s in the corner were about $150 each. For Minnesota, we went to game 5 and the same seats were $200 each. So, yesterday I logged into Ticketmaster when Finals tickets went on sale. Holy moly. Upper-level nosebleed seats directly behind the baskets were going for $600-$700 each from the team and $800 and up on resale. For chuckles I looked at floor level seats. All that was available was resale and some were going for as much as $11,000 each. I told my wife we got free seats in the Living Room section.
