Ok so I took a look on SeatGeek. Actually I've been wanting to go watch the Suns play since they are close and have some nice young players. Anyway, I found $18 tickets in the corner rafters for the Hawks game in 3 days (these seats suck). There are worse located tickets for a game against the Lakers tomorrow going for $89. This is for a team that hasn't made the playoffs in maybe what 10 years? Yeah you have a view of the whole arena, but the seats suck. Middle seats in the lower bowl for the Hawks game are about $60-$120 (great prices) and for the Lakers about $400 average.It's not that far up. It's a great view. And I went to Suns game when they were winning and it wasn't $100.
Personally I have no problem with the price change for UTEP basketball tickets. I think the prices are fair comparatively. All I care about is that UTEP starts winning.
