Milwaukee (WKOW) – The Milwaukee Bucks scored a victory over the Suns in the fifth game of the NBA final in Phoenix on Saturday night. Game six is Tuesday at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Tickets to the game are expensive, and the price of hotel rooms has almost doubled since the win.
Bucks fan Justin Koehler saw a price hike mid-game: “I watched halfway near the stadium, about half a mile from the stadium, and the rooms were about $ 350,” Koehler said. “Right after the game I couldn’t find anything for less than five hundred and fifty dollars. We ended up spending six hundred on a hotel room.”
27 News has reviewed the rates for rooms near the Fiserv Forum. If you’re looking to get a room under $ 200, find them near West Allis. To get anything under $ 100, you may need to stay near Waukesha.
In the end, Koehler spent about $ 3,700 on two tickets in section 218. “By and large, money doesn’t matter,” he said.
The Bucks are just one more win away from their first NBA title since 1971.
