Who says Vancouver isn't a basketball city?

Tickets to see Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors play against the Toronto Raptors in Vancouver sold out in mere minutes on Friday.

The Oct. 1 game is the first chance fans will get to see Kevin Durant play in a Warriors jersey.

But for many disappointed fans, that won't happen from inside Rogers Arena, and many of them took to social media to complain.

Tickets show up on resale websites

Within minutes of Ticketmaster selling out, tickets to see the pre-season game showed up on resale websites, such as Craiglist and StubHub.

If this feels familiar, it's because it's becoming routine in Vancouver when hotly-anticipated events come to the city.

Tickets also quickly sold out in minutes for the Adele, Drake and Paul McCartney concerts.

Bring back basketball to Vancouver

Despite their disappointment, many fans also pointed that if the interest in Vancouver is this high for a pre-season game, perhaps the NBA should pay attention.

Ever since the Vancouver Grizzlies left the city, basketball fans have only had exhibition games to tide them over.

Many tweeted it's time for the city to have its own basketball team again.
