    Teams don’t make any money on tickets to be honest. It’s all about that tv money.

    False. They make more money from TV, but they certainly make money on ticket sales as well.

    not that much....the Blazers generated 59M in ticket sales in the 2023-24 season. Add parking and concession sales to that. But then you have to start deducting costs: labor, services, leasing agreements, utilities, security, maintenance. Those things aren't cheap for a 785,000 square foot building that's 140 feet tall with 8 different levels. Moda covers over 18 acres

    Isn't it all relative to what you determine is paying the bills?
    Total revenue - Operating costs = net profit.

    Wouldn't total revenue include tv contract income?

    Right. Tv money: millions and millions in revenue. Ticket sales: 100’s of thousands in revenue.

    i haven't had my eight cup of coffee yet. Shut it.

    At least 8 of those guys are better than Hali. Do you really consider Luka and Curry to be subpar?

    No it was not. It was simply whether they make money on it or not.

    Work on your math. At an average ticket price of $100, one game generates about $2 million in ticket revenue. So $41 million per season per team. That’s over $1 billion per season for the NBA in ticket sales every season not including playoffs. Not “hundreds of thousands.”

    Except not many teams actually average $100 a ticket and very few sell out not to mention they sell corporate sponsorship blocks for much less and then there are boxes. No they don’t make billions off ticket sales.
