On April 25, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and tomorrow the Nets will play the fourth game of the series with the Celtics at home. But because the Nets are currently 3-0 behind, the team is on the verge of elimination. Fans are also very disappointed with the Nets' performance, which has caused a chain reaction, and the Nets' home ticket prices will continue to decline tomorrow.
As can be seen from the secondary ticketing website, the nets' home game tomorrow now has a minimum ticket price of $135, equivalent to about 884 yuan. The lowest fare for the third showdown between the two sides is 331 US dollars, which is equivalent to about 2167 yuan. The lowest fare drop for the two games reached 59%, which is a considerable price reduction.
What's more exaggerated is that the price of infield tickets has fallen in a diving fashion. The Nets and Celtics G3 have infield tickets of more than $8,000, or about 52,635 yuan. Some sideline tickets are even more crazy, once directly breaking through the $10,000 mark, and repeatedly setting new highs in the secondary market. But tomorrow the most expensive ticket in the infield will be only 641 US dollars, which is 4196 yuan. Also for infield tickets, the drop in both matches by more than 94% is simply unbelievable.
Before the third showdown between the two sides began, journalist Nick Wright had complained about the Nets' home fare problem through social media accounts. He said he's bought tickets to the Nets' home game for two consecutive years, and he's never seen such an outrageous pricing, which is 60 percent more expensive than any game with the Bucks in the playoffs last year. But in the end, the Nets lost at home to the opponent, and the Celtics won the match point 3-0, which caused the reaction now. Ticket prices continue to decline, mainly due to the Nets' poor record.
The Nets are currently 0-3 behind the Celtics, and can basically declare the team out of the Eastern Conference semifinals in advance. Excluding this year's playoff showdowns, there have been a total of 143 0-3 drops in the league's history, and the teams on the trailing side have all been eliminated without any chance of turning over. There have been three teams in history who have rewritten the score to 3-3 with a 0-3 deficit, the Knicks in 1951, the Nuggets in 1994 and the Trail Blazers in 2003. But in the end, they still failed to achieve a shocking reversal and fell into the battle of seven.
For the Nets, they had a chance to make their debut in game four with new signing Simmons. But Simmons had a recurring back injury today, and he felt the pain again, so the comeback plan was canceled. This also made the fans feel more disheartened, and the team's chances of turning over were one less weight. If the team wants to win the game, it may only rely on Durant and Irving to adjust their form. The next game for the Nets may not be won or lost, more importantly, the glory of the team, the players can only fight against the water.
Tomorrow's game could be the Nets' last game of the season, and if fans see their home team eliminated on the spot, it's absolutely cruel, which may be another reason why fans are reluctant to pay to enter the game. Whether the Nets can bottom out and pull back a city, let's wait and see.
