DEL.ICIO.USRaising ticket prices…AGAIN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you haven’t heard, the Hawks are raising ticket prices for next year. This will affect the season tickets as well as single game tickets.
I guess they need some more money to help pay for the court costs.

If they brought back Hawk-A-Licious, I wouldn’t even mind the higher ticket prices.

There’s a sure-fire way to fix a rapidly dwindling attendance problem. Pure marketing genius!
Now all we need is for BK to pass on Greg Oden for a mediocre 3 or 4 man, and the coffin containing this franchise will make its final descent into the earth.

I am a season ticket holder, section 222. Provided that the increase is nominal, I will still purchase them. I have lived in a city that did not have a professional sports team and it was ugly!!! Please support your team, you won’t miss it until it is gone!!

news flash: You live in a city with no pro NBA team now.

All of the professional teams in this town stink. Is it any wonder why nobody cares? Do yourselves a favor, Atlanta: treat yourself and hopefully your kids to real excitement: catch a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston; a hockey game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto; a football game in at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh; or a - gasp - pro basketball game in Madison Square Garden in NYC. College atmospheres and the highest level of competition; something desperately missing in this minor-league city!

How can you raise ticket prices when you can’t win games at homes? “Come pay even more to see us lose.” Ugh…
Would you pay $80 to see the Hawks play the Celtics?

The $199 season ticket lives for another season in the 300 level.

Why would anyone waste $ on this group of clowns? Hock got it right - this is a MINOR league NBA town.

Why should we pay NBA prices for a minor league team?

They should move to Hawks to the Gwinnett Arena. I would go see them there. Downtown Atlanta? No Thanks.

Season tickets $199. You can’t beat that. I will buy (renew) two seaon tickets.
