perhaps blame it on the rising gas prices?
i dont know. rising barbacoa taco costs? im shooting here.
Should it be the Spurs PR department to generate excitement or should they take it for granted that they will sell? If a store doesn't sell their products do they about it or do they try things to make people buy them? This at ude that we some how owe them coming from the Spurs front office is just flat out bull .

It really is sad what is going on. Here in NY when Ewing was playing the seats they are selling for 150 bucks for the Spurs were going for like 700-1000 bucks come playoff time at the Garden. The BO would be open for maybe 10 min and they were all gone. I can't believe this team is at the point where they are begging fans to show up and watch their team in the West finals.
Probably because the quote is unattributed to a person, just to a "team official." that could be almost anyone who works for the franchise and whoever said it may not have known he/she was speaking to a Johnny Luden, I know I couldn't pick him out of a lineup and I read his stuff all the time.
YOu can't compare NY and SA.
smells fishy. i think someone found a way to SA in the ass even if they win another championship. Big time executives find ways to manipulate the system so it favors the large market cities and saves the suppose integrity of the NBA.
Meaning what you guys are just too ing cheap to buy good playoff tickets at good prices but here in NY the fans know a good thing when it is standing right in front of them and will s out top dollar to get it.
Maybe many people are taking the WCF for granted and are saving up for Finals tickets, just a thought.
Meaning there are almost 10 times as many people in that Area and the same number of seats. You do have a vauge understanding of supply and demand, right?
God damn, did I really just have to explain to someone why NY and SA are apples and oranges?
I mean seriously?
exactly. SA isn't that pious or pretentious. SA is a barbacoa taco served at grandmas house and NY is Wagyu cattle beef raised in Japan served by paris hilton.
I read it more like astonishment at what is happening.
But yeah,the Spurs organization having backwards priorities has long been an issue.
Since this has never been a problem in SA before Supply and Demand was never much of an issue there now was it? Spurs fans have gotten spoiled that is the only reason why this is happening now.
San Antonio is larger than Dallas, isn't it? That's all we heard during football season.
Seriously what your explanation was , the place has sold out like crazy for the playoffs until this year. There are plenty of smaller market teams that do not have this problem.
You're a complete ing idiot if you can't see why 20 million people in a metro area will drive the prices up more for a 20 thousand seat arena than a metro area with 2 million people.
I"ll leave it at that.
Considering the predictions by many on this board that this series isn't going to be close, the at ude of not s ing out bucks for games that aren't going to be competetive is a possibility. The Jazz failing to show up for the first half of game 1 doesn't actually help matters. When the Spurs are in a dogfight in game 2 or if they come back to town tied I'd guess the ticket sales will be a bit more brisk.
Remember when Cuban gave away all those tickets last year to hype up the playoffs?
We're not the only one's having trouble selling tickets for big games.
It seems to be a trend for all Texas sports teams, not just us.
Lack of advertising, promotion, and prices all contribute to poor ticket sales.
From what I've seen, Holt has no interest in putting any real money into a decent advertising scheme.

this . I used to live in Orlando and it was a pipe dream to even pretend you could get tickets come playoff time. I don't understand how these tickets are going unsold. I'm in Austin and have been to SA lots of times and I know how passionate the fanbase is there. WTF is going on?
And how much more expensive are these tickets than the regular season or the previous rounds?
I think there are more casual fans in SA than hardcore ones
As stated before, had it been the Mavs or Suns, this game would've sold out in seconds....but b/c it's the Jazz, everyone is staying put at home it seems
population wise yes. according to the 2005 census.
a difference of 42,684 people.
compared to DFW. forget about it.
Yes prices will be driven up but SA is more than big enough for people to jamming into the building come playoff time jackass. Look at the Kings in Sacremento. Tiny market, small city and people are on waiting lists for those games for like 10 years, the prices of those tickets must be through the roof. Proves a small city can easily have high demand for tickets and drive the prices up.
Will they give some of these extra tickets to charities like childrens' homes?
Once we end up getting blown out in Game 3 and 4 in front of an insane Mormon crowd the fans will wake up and realize these are not ing pre-season games. Sad.
