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!



The Pacers are in Indiana... where 2500 a month will pay for a 4 bedroom house.
The Knicks are in New York... where 2500 a month will pay for an apartment.

Oh yes, and New York fans are very forgiving and loyal when it comes to local teams that suck. Not buying it just on real estate value.


But if they can get away with f'ing fans out of that dough and fans are dumb enough to fork it over, a match made in "fools and their money are soon parted" heaven.

I can get grizzlies tickets in the fedex forum for $5 the day of basically every game in the season...of course, it's sitting in the nosebleed section.

or $12 for the seats right at the railing on the top platform I think. The only time I've ever sat on the main level was for a game that had a christian concert afterwards, and my Mom had gotten some tickets cheap beforehand. or for stuff that wasn't for the NBA.


come watch the grizzlies play, tickets are pretty cheap here

can we really single out reasons why the NBA should DIAF?
there are plenty of glaring reasons, but why leave anything out?

You haters are just mad because you can't steal tickets with Bittorrent like you do with movies and music.
