The Thunder have a chance to make their first NBA Finals since losing to the Heat in 2012.

Compared to other arenas throughout the league, the OKC get-in price is quite affordable, yet still somehow will be the most expensive ticket in their city's history for Game 5.

How much does it cost to attend Game 5?

As of this afternoon, TickPick had the cheapest ticket to tonight's game at $172.

For some teams like the Knicks and Lakers, this is the price for a regular season game against an average team.

OKC is a much smaller market than some of these bigger cities, so it makes some sense, but it's incredible a possible series-clinching game is that price.

If the Thunder wrap the series up tonight or in one of the next few games, this get-in price is bound to increase and break another record, as at that point people would fly in for how cheap it would cost to watch an NBA Finals game.

It'll be interesting to see if OKC advances because there may be an influx of opposing fans, especially Knicks fans if they somehow pull off the 3-1 comeback.
