The positive as I experienced at the Wizards game is that hardly anyone is left in the building at the end of the game so its very quick and easy to get out MSG. So the cost per minute for most is actually higher!
I almost took a court side ticket in Charlotte last year when the knicks played and it was about $650. One ticket. As much As I wanted to do it (on the bucket list) the thought of being courtside for a crap game potentially did not thrill me nor sitting alone either.
The seat got swooped up before I had a chance to decide. It was on stubhub. I have sat 4 rows back. Its cool!
Are Net tickets that much less??? Just curious.
I sat on the skybridge last year for a Ranger game. Front row. It was very cool! Much better than I thought it would be.

You can get Nets tickets a lots cheaper than Knicks as they really don't have much of a fan base. For instance tickets were going for tonights game for not much more than $100 a few weeks back when you couldn't get a Knicks v Wizards ticket for less than $150 at that time.
You can get
Nets-Orlando for $18 on stubhub
Knicks-Hawks for $63 in the noosebleeds corner
You can play a rec league season for that
Stop eating nachos start dropping buckets
That's why I stopped going to games. I used to buy partial plans, around 15 games a season, but I was sitting in the corner of the 300 section (which is now the 200 section) and they jacked the prices over $100. Way too much. Now, I'll try to go to a Knicks game in Philly or Brooklyn or even DC where it's much cheaper.
A lot of passionate Knick fans got priced out of MSG a long time ago- our arena is pretty tame when you compare it to the Warriors, Raptors and some other clubs. Not as bad as the Heats though.

So attack the players because people are willing to stump up $130 dollars to see them? At the end of the day we're to blame for high prices and salaries because we're willing to pay that. Why shouldn't the players get as much of the money we've handed over as possible? Should Dolan keep more of it?
