    No Nurk for the first half of the season. Probably less depth on the bench. Should the prices go up?

    Ticket prices were set months ago. In the past, if there was an event that severely lowered demand, they had more promotions and gave extra benefits for season ticket holders.

    Nurk should be back by Christmas so there should not be a huge dropoff.

    It probably will depend on if the team gets sold in the offseasoff.

    Just don't see any reason to sell the team - the value appreciates better than most investments - and they think so highly of the guy running the business that they now have him running the Hawks business side too.

    I agree with this. I think it will depend on the cash flow that the operation has.

    If we add Carmelo can we decrease ticket prices?

    But probability is likely.

    I’m a season ticket holder and sit in the front row of section 321. I split the tix 3 ways with family members. I go to about 15 games a year. We had to renew our season tickets a few weeks ago to lock in playoff tix for this year.

    The price of my seats went up 21% from last year. I was stunned and had to contact them to confirm it wasn’t a typo. Nope. Not a typo. 21% increase. My family has been season ticket holders since 1974. This truly was the first year we seriously considered not renewing. After some pleading from my son, we renewed.

    I guess I’m a Blazer fan. Painful as that may be on many levels.

    After that big increase, my boss cancelled his club season tickets. I kept mine though.

    I still maintain the mgb seats for his widow as well as a pair in 301 that are purples. There was about a ten percent increase on mgb's seats after a healthy increase the year before. I sell a lot and it was just barely profitable. Hoped to offset the increase with playoff sales and do not see that as possible with Nurk's injury.

    The purple seats still have positive equity and do not see those ever being negative.

    And you call yourself a fan? Can't believe you didn't take over his.
