If they sell out it is market value.

I do wonder if some of the people who are upset are mad that their playoff tickets can't be scalped now.


Its already happening. All those $75 tickets have been bought and reposted for over $100 or more on resell ticketmaster.

That’s shameful, they have to do something about that.

It should be on Bally sport if you have it.

Blame rich privileged kids/adults. They first targeted sneakers, which I used to be an avid collector of, with Bots to automate checkout, and have branched out to almost any kinda limited good/service. Concerts, festivals, sporting events, in demand goods (Stanley Cups for ex), Cards, designer goods, you name it

They artificially inflate prices ontop of the already high prices things already are at.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

The Cavs nose bleed sections are cheaper but the other seats are about the same.

Correct. This is a bs tweet. People just like to have our ownership under a microscope and we all know why. Good for them making a profit.

Painfully patient, frugal in free agency, years and years of sticking to the process and short changing fans BUT first chance to raise ticket prices you do

I'm not sure if this is the only market mechanism causing this to happen, and if it is trust me I doubt it's just rich privileged kids.

Sneaker resellers are mostly losers who make barely any margin on most shoes.

I would like to see the Magic do what Mark Cuban did and implement price controls to keep them affordable.

If things are inflating, of course they have record profits. In fact a lot of companies are down bad but still have "record" profits because of how insane inflation has been the last three years.

Now if they are going from 10% margins to 30% margins or something, then lets crap on them and tell em they are jerks.

DeVos family cares about money, not the fans. They never prioritize the fans.
