Ticket prices will drop... With the injuries, fans are less interested, which equals less interest. Simple economics.
Mixum has now taken such a pessimistic view of the future he thinks we will all die in an apocalyptic event some random March day. I will begin preparing the eulogies.
If I remember correctly ticket prices were increased top-to-bottom in the summer of 2007, along with having Roy and Aldridge, when we drafted Oden. I think or at least hope they drop the prices back down to where they were pre-Oden.
Assuming the sellout streak continues (I have my doubts) then I don't see the prices dropping any time soon, but if things really do start to unravel, then I get the feeling we'll see a slight downward adjustment.
This does not surprise me at all seeing as they have raised ticket prices the last two years during a down economy.
It's just business. They took advantage/capitalized of one of the most dedicated fanbases in all of pro-sports.
