At the same time, this is half of the total contract Shohei Ohtani just signed, and about 8 million a year less. Which honestly makes baseball’s payroll differences just look insane
Basketball might not be the same in the contracts as you're presenting it, but it is the same as other sports in the fact that no player ever sticks up for the fans and how the public is constantly being overcharged for everything , from peanuts to popcorn to jerseys and other team related gear. Not one player has ever said the game ticket prices for too high , especially basketball , one of the most costly sporting events that you can attend, Let alone if you need to buy concessions. Because of the crazy Television contracts Which rarely present any NBA Games on free national tv . The NBA could let The fans in for free and still make millions and millions a year. Greed Is a terrible thing.😎✌️🎶
But the tickets arnt to high, just pick a row that will be semi empty thats not to high up and when you get there move to the closet seat. As for the snacks, it really depends on what you get, i do agree most things food wise are overpriced. I usually just get popcorn and a drink and if im hungry maybe a hot dog if im hungry. You may not know this but some placed with let you bring a water bottle in if its unopen and under 1L. It also depends on the team you support. Luckily for me i live in texas and most tickets dont cost to much. Honestly the only tickets that really cost that much are the high income states. Them About 30% of the nbas rev comes from sets. I do think most prices should be cut about 10-25%.
