I was looking at a 10 game package for the fiance and I for the Thunder. $2500 for decent tickets.
Although now that I think about it, that's less per game than what we pay for season tickets to OK ST football. But that's supporting our Alma Mater, so I don't mind as much.

ticket sales make up a very small portion of the revenue. its all the sponsorships and tv/media deals that bring in the big bucks.
nba made $10bill last season. only about $50mill was from tickets.
like it or not, the nba/nfl are going to continue to make a ton of money off media deals and athletes will be getting more and more money because of it
