It has taken more than 20 years for the Toronto Raptors to make the NBA Finals but when tickets went on sale Monday, they were a hot commodity.
Ticketmaster quickly sold out but there are still plenty of tickets available on secondary selling sites such as StubHub and Seatgeek if you want to skip a mortgage payment or sell your car for a chance to sit courtside.

Stubhub is also offering a pair for around US$22,000 as well.
