A (or two) brutal play-off game is about to start! NBA ticket center Tick Pick announced the minimum ticket price for the first round of play-offs in the East and West on April 15, local time in the United States.
Among them, the 9th and 10th Kings and Warriors in the West have a minimum ticket price of 212 US dollars, totaling about 1,534 yuan. In the other play-off game in the West, the 7th and 8th Pelicans and Lakers battles, the minimum ticket price is 39 US dollars, and the total RMB is only about 282 yuan. Is there such a difference in fare?
The lowest ticket price for the Bulls and Hawks in the 9th and 10th places in the East is $58, and the lowest ticket price for the Heat and 76ers battles in the 7th and 8th places is $50.
In terms of the lowest ticket price, the highlight of the first round of the play-offs is undoubtedly the Kings vs. Warriors, with the lowest ticket price several times that of the other three games. The most surprising was the Pelicans' home game against the Lakers, with a minimum ticket price of $39, which was the lowest of all the games, and even worse than the East. It is said that it should not be, with the influence of the Lakers and the appeal of Zhan Mei, the lowest ticket price is not the highest, nor should it be at the bottom. You must know that the Lakers are led by James, the first person in history to complete Project 411, and there is also a champion who debuted from the Pelicans, Davis, the Lakers led by these two people can't afford to sell ticket prices? Can't they attract fans' desire to watch?
Some U.S. media then published their views (public relations) on the lowest ticket price for the National and Brave battles and the Pelicans and Lakers battles, believing that the reason for the high ticket prices of the National and Brave battles is that the two teams are in the same California, although they play at the Kings' Sacramento home stadium, the distance between the two teams is not far, and it is convenient for fans in Golden State to watch the game away to support the Warriors, so they can afford to sell ticket prices. The Pelicans and Lakers have no geographical distance advantage, and it is inconvenient for a large number of Lakers fans to follow the team from Los Angeles to New Orleans to watch the game.
The American media is not saying that this is okay, but a comparison shows that Lakers fans do not seem to support the team enough to watch the game away.
However, judging from the ticket price, the Warriors are really appealing, and in just over 10 years, the Warriors have become the highest market value among all teams in the league.
