On February 24, Beijing time, as the regular season continues tomorrow, 30 teams continue to attack the playoff journey, and Harden will also usher in the debut of the new owner. According to previous reports, Harden will make a comeback in Saturday's away game against the Timberwolves to make his Philadelphia debut. Harden's Philadelphia debut caused a sensation among fans, and it is already difficult to find a ticket in the market.
As the most popular team in the league, the Timberwolves can intuitively see the popularity of their opponents in the home fare and ticket sales. As you can see from the ticketing platform in the secondary market, the Timberwolves host Philadelphia, and the price is rising. For reference, the Timberwolves' tomorrow game against the Grizzlies has a minimum ticket price of $26 (about 164 yuan) and a minimum ticket price of $43 (about 271 yuan) in Philadelphia, nearly doubling the gap between the lowest ticket prices for the two games.
In the Timberwolves and Grizzlies game, the most expensive infield ticket (near the side) is $313 (about 1978 yuan) and the most expensive ticket in Philadelphia is $442 (about 2919 yuan), and the highest ticket price between the two is also a big gap. You know, the Grizzlies have existed as a strong team as a dark horse this season, and the star Morant is the starting guard of the All-Star. However, the gap between the two games in the secondary market is still quite large, which shows Harden's influence.
Another reference is the Timberwolves' home game with the Warriors on March 2, Beijing time, with a minimum ticket price of $47 (about 297 yuan), similar to the lowest fare in Philadelphia. As the hottest team in the league, the Warriors have always been at the top of the 30 teams. As can be seen from the Timberwolves' home ticket prices, Philadelphia and the Warriors are relatively close in popularity, which is a chain reaction brought by Harden to the new owner.
In addition, Harden's arrival has made Philadelphia's home ticket prices continue to rise. Previously, relevant media statistics showed that since Harden announced the transfer to Philadelphia, the average ticket price in Philadelphia has risen from $112.05 to 171.14, an increase of 53%. The Nets were affected after Harden's departure, falling from an average fare of $159.72 to $109.64, a drop of 31 percent.
Harden has averaged 22.5 points, 8 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.3 steals this season, and he has helped the team achieve a record of 26 wins and 18 losses in the 44 games he has played with the Nets, and the team has only achieved a record of 3 wins and 8 losses in the 11 games he has missed, which shows his importance. With his move to Embiid, Philadelphia will be one of the biggest hits to win the championship, so let's look forward to Harden's personal debut the day after tomorrow.
