Philly fan buys 18 tickets to 76ers/Pacers game for 72 cents — total
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-b...8-tickets-76ers-pacers-72-153944098--nba.html
The full out-of-pocket outlay for @mleif's upper-deck dominance? A cool $10.67 — $5 in service fees and $4.95 in "delivery" charges from StubHub, and a whopping 72 cents for the tickets. For less than the price of a beer and a hot dog, he bought out an entire row of seats to a live NBA basketball game. Why do it? As @mleif told Philly.com's Petzar, "It seemed like a funny idea, and the extra space to stretch out was a plus." Seems like sound reasoning to me.
How many other seats among the 15,299 in reported paid attendance at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday were unoccupied remains unclear, but the dirt-cheap secondary-market pricing only goes to confirm an ongoing trend in the NBA — teams, especially losing/uninteresting ones, are having trouble filling up their arenas on a nightly basis, even after offering freebies, discounts and promotional deals. Sometimes, as in this case, that can work in a shrewd fan's favor, even if only for the purposes of a joke and some extra leg room.
