Have a lockout in these financial times with a bunch of rich people bitching about not getting enough riches, and then raise ticket prices when you come back.

I hope every team is having half empty arenas.

At one point last year they were giving Pacers tickets away for $5.

Of course the good teams price gouge... they do that in every sport.

I understand that but:


article posted:

New York Knicks' tickets cost more than double the league's average and five times as much as seats for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Knicks ticket average $117.47 after a 32.5 percent increase - and these figures don't even include premium seats.



...they are talking about the knicks, not good teams. Wild!

I suppose the NFL keeps dropping their ticket prices to keep people happy.

LOL @ the Knicks tickets being 5 times as much as Grizzlies tickets.

The Knicks are about 5 times worse than the Grizzlies, too. Not even Knicks fans want to watch their crappy team.
