If you want to watch University of Missouri basketball games up close in the new arena in Columbia, you had better be rich. If you want courtside seats, you’ll have to fork over $25,000. On top of that, you’ll have to make an annual donation of $5,000. Only then will you be allowed to buy tickets. And, by the way, that $5,000 is per seat. A University source says the school already has received more than 50 letters of intent to buy. The prices scale back as you get farther from the court. About 4,200 seats will be available for annual donations of $250 or less and there will be a family section that doesn’t require any donation. Or, you can have a more comfortable seat in your living room and listen to the games on radio. Most Tiger games are on television, too.
