    Ok, San Antonio is too poor to support an NBA franchise.

    You've made your point.
    as long as the spurs insist on squeezing blood out of the stone.

    not even on a payment plan?

    Thats the solution, good ole layaway. People can buy tickets and do a payment plan, no payments for a year or same as cash for a year!!

    Those don't exist. You said they're poor so they're poor and can't take a 6.5% increase in prices.

    nah, i was told they exist and that's why we should admonish san antonio for not supporting the spurs no matter how much they opportunistically raise ticket prices.

    I was told they are too poor too afford clothing so it doesn't matter what they charge for tickets and we should blame the team for their poverty of San Antonians.

    nah, some are trying to blame the fans who are lower middle class/working poor for not paying more for the same seats in this series.

    it was a suggestion, you can't handle it, thats your problem

    and its MEXCUN not messicans.

    I don't quite understand.
    If i choose to show my support by buying tickets I am a bigger fan? I have supported my team plenty. (still paying for it i might add) .

    Ultimately, i think its on the SPURS marketing department to SELL their product like one suggested.

    I am perfectly comfortable supporting my team from home on my 80 inch plasma ( )


    GO SPURS!

    Again, you're saying San Antonio can't afford major league sports.

    That's fine.

    It's not a big deal then.

    Anaheim can afford them.

    after they jacked up the ticket prices on upper 200 level seats it's not all that surprising.
    Those are the seats they should have dropped the prices too after game 1 was not a sellout, to ensure game 2 would be. This is weird the attendance for the year was 9th out of 30 right in line with where it has alway been since they moved to the SBC/AT&T center and now suddenly they can't sell out a west final game when they never had this problem before.

    Prices always rise during the playoffs. Those games are usually considered more important to the fans.

    sure, some san antonians can't afford to attend games when the prices on upper level tickets are increased significantly in the later rounds of the postseason. claiming that will force a team to leave town that has a significant breakup fee in their contract with bexar county is spurious, at best.

    damn they make 80 inch plasma's? NICE

    LOL, how is the Spurs marketing department going to sell the tickets if no one is going to buy them.
    If it wasn't important to sell out games then there wouldn't be an article on it. It only adds to the mantra of Spurs suck, Spurs don't deserve to win it all, if San Antonians can't even show up to the games or leave early, it's just ty, why is that so hard to understand?

    It was probably a Ticketmaster snafu, but the excuse-mongering has been extremely funny.
    What we've learned is that Thad and Tiffany out in Bulverde can't afford to go to Spurs games, unless they get free T-shirts and hot dogs, because once they buy their 50" plasma screen and put gas in their Hummer to haul it home, they can't afford clothing or food.

    I'm glad to hear that miss. I moved away 13 years ago because all I saw was fatness and poorness. Its about time SA progressed. I wouldn't go so far as competing with Houston but lets face the reality San Antonio is known for being po'dunk. I still love SA but I hate to read that a game can't sell out. Its a travesty and a shame. I was born and raised in San Antonio so I have every flippin right to express my opinion!! Case closed.


    are you going to the game?


    Id be willing to bet 50% at least of the people ing that the game isnt going to be sold out, are also not going to the game themselves.


    How about...instead of players making 50 million dollar contracts, they make 30 million dollar contracts. The org can then use that extra 20 mil to offset lower the cost of the damn tickets.

    hrmm

    to be honest as a Spur fan not living in San Antonio it really pisses me off that Spur fans have excuses not to go to the game. THERE IS NO EXCUSE, tickets are not THAT expensive. I would go into debt and go to playoff games in a second, I would not even think twice about it.

    It seems San Antonians would rather go buy beers and tequila than go to a Spur playoff game. It's very pathetic and sad. Let's hope the basketball Gods don't punish us for being spoiled.

    Are those seats the ones that didn't sell? How is this different from any other Spurs playoff run?

    Not really. Fees can be paid. All depends on the bottom line. If the owners think they'll do much better somewhere else, they'll move.
