Being an NBA fan has never been more expensive. Inflation and lucrative broadcasting deals have driven up ticket prices, the general cost of attendance, and subscriptions to watch from home. Though fan attendance at games is actually down, profits are up because ticket prices have risen substantially to compensate.
That leads to a vicious cycle – tickets are more expensive, so less fans want to attend games, which potentially leads to even higher ticket prices to compensate for the losses, and so forth.
We're crunching the numbers to figure out the current average attendance fees, from tickets to concessions. Currently, this is what the average ticket for each team costs:
