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!

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.

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 :P

Football is over rated and over covered. They play 1 game a week and the sports networks won't stop talking about it the other 6 days.

I don't know about you all but I get the equivalent of half court seats for free, and I don't even have to drive to an arena. It's a device called a television. When i want the arena experience, then I pay for tickets. Amazing how that works.
