Being in the building for Kobe Bryant’s send-off Wednesday will probably be a very memorable and moving experience, one that you will tell your children and grandchildren about, but you will have to cut in to their college tuition fund to do it though.
According to ESPN Sports and Business Analyst Darren Rovell, tomorrow’s Lakers-Jazz game will be the most expensive ticket for any regular season game in any sport ever.
Average price paid on StubHub for Kobe's last game tomorrow is $997, a regular season record for any sport.

Pretty crazy when you realize that even though you are viewing history, you are also paying to see a 16-65 team take on a 40-41 team.
According to Rovell, fans attending the game will get a Kobe lanyard for their ticket, a Nike t-shirt and a commemorative book.
If you want to really live it up and sit court side with a friend for the Black Mamba’s last game, it will cost you (wait for it…) $55,000.
This is not a misprint, that is how much a fan paid for two court side seats to Wednesday’s game on StubHub.

One can only hope the game won’t be a 40 point blowout like it was a few weeks ago when these two teams met in Utah, otherwise that is a King’s ransom to pay for another beat down.
