Haha that is complete BS about NBA tickets not being cheap. The upper decks sell for $10 per game in most cities. Yes being close is more important and costs more. Its a TV friendly sport so not everyone is as motivated to attend in person.Because tickets are expensive and limited in quantity. The NBA could fill football stadiums if the tickets were priced so the average family could afford it.
Hockey just isn't a league fueled by player personalities, it's more of a team-oriented fanbase. In what other sport do you see team uniforms without numbers or nameplates for sale? Granted every person who buys an Edmonton Oilers sweater know who Connor McDavid is, but the logo on the front of the jersey is what most people gravitate towards, not the name on the back.
Paulina Gretzky generates more internet searches than Wayne ever will amongst the YouTube generation, so I have little hope for a hockey player who plays in Canada.
I took my GF to two Celtics playoff games Game 1 second round and Game 1 conference finals. We got in for $100 each and moved into unsold resale tickets in the lower bowl. Scalpers lost a fortune on those games bc noone was buying and half the arena was pink seats on ticketmaster 2 hours before. I attended 3 Bruins playoff games and each cost me over $200 to get in the door and I was super cheap and waited for as close as possible to puck drop.
