Hart is disappointed by Game 3 ticket prices

While Preisdent Trump will likely be attending Game 3 for free, everyone else in attendance will likely be spending thousands of dollars.

The get-in price on secondary markets is currently higher than $7,000.

"I wish the ticket prices weren't as crazy as they are. A lot of people who have been waiting for this moment for a very long time unfortunately aren't able to get into the building. $7K, $8K is ridiculous," he told reporters.

Game 3 is set to tip off shortly after 8 p.m. E.T. on Monday night.

It'll air on ABC.
