What else could Lakers fans buy with the money they’d spend to go to Kobe Bryant’s last game?

Fortunately, the season is winding down for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are limping to the finish line, and will most likely finish with the worst record in franchise history. Despite this historically dreadful season, there happens to be one thing to look forward to in the midst of D’Angelo Russell’s controversy and stress before the NBA lottery. And that is Kobe Bryant’s last game, which will be on April 13 versus the Utah Jazz. It will be an emotional goodbye, one that will be remembered by Lakers fans (and haters just as much so) for a long time.

Many curious Lakers fans have surely gone online to look up ticket prices for the finale to see what it would cost to go. Even knowing that the tickets were going to be marked up, that doesn’t make it any less mind-blowing how much money these tickets are actually going for! These insane prices were an inspiration to compile a list of items one can buy with the money it’d take to purchase a ticket to Kobe’s last game.

Upper Level (Average price $800 per ticket):
