Every year the NBA is going more and more global. And that means more money.
But in popularity growth, comes a perfect reasons for ticket prices to go up. Sneaky NBA teams, we see what you’re doing. You think because you have stars you think you can raise prices? Excuse me?!
You can’t escape ESPN. They know all.
The average price of an NBA ticket increased 3.4 percent this season to $53.98.
According to Team Marketing Report on Friday, the New York Knicks have the highest average at $129.38, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers at $102.25, the Chicago Bulls at $82.33 and the Miami Heat at $78.30. Among those four teams, only the Bulls raised prices.
New Orleans ($30.20) and Charlotte ($30.60) had the lowest averages. The Los Angeles Clippers had the steepest increase, 24.3 percent to $78.43. Detroit dropped its average 3.2 percent to $38.80.
The average NFL ticket price is $84.43 this season, and the NHL average is $62.18. Major League Baseball’s average was $27.93 this year.
Funny Detroit lowered thier average. Because they have talent, yet they are still a .500 team. I still can’t put my head around why they can’t win.
I can’t believe the Clippers have the nerve to raise their prices by a stupid 24.3%. It’s unfortunate thier efficiency hasn’t raised by 24.3%. Yes I said it. Raise your game Clips, then raise your prices.
