    Well that is seats.
    The question was about the suites. Best we could find was $36,000 but that was for only 16 people. The one we wanted was not available but was $50.000+
    You gotta want to make some people pretty happy to spend 50K on them.

    I was thinking about this, and it's pure genius. It will keep the local GSW fans from crashing the party.

    I'd be really happy if you spent 50K on me. I do appreciate the thought though, since it wasn't available....
    :cheers:

    A skybox is a suite and the cost of it is pretty high. Yep @SlyPokerDog needs to get it comped.

    Unless i am totally off base here and there are actual "Skyboxes" at the Moda that are not suites? Maybe a Slybox?

    A skybox isn't a suite. It's a suite lite.

    Suites ring the arena and are located between the 200 and 300 levels. Skyboxes are in just one corner of the arena above sections 313-316. Skyboxes cost significantly less than suites.

    Every look into them you have to be contacted back. At least for Saturday's game anyway.

    There are a total of 8 boxes, and when you buy a box, you get (I believe) 16 tickets. Last time I was part of a group who purchased one, it was about $600 for the box, which came out to about 37.50/ticket, for a regular season game against the Pelicans in November (a couple years back). Similar to the suites, each box has a community area to hang out in, with a separate seating area below, although the skyboxes have long leather (vinyl?) couches instead of individual seats. Still enough to seat 12 though. Unlike the suites, which each have their own private bathroom, the 8 skyboxes have one community restroom that is only accessible by skybox attendees. The staircase between sections 314-315 goes up into the skybox level, and there's an usher parked there to make sure none of the unwashed masses make their way into the hallowed halls.

    No idea about purchasing them, but I imagine their limited availability would be the reason you have to be contacted back.

    I can't see very well from that far away. I had eye surgery a few years ago and only really have one good eye now.
