    I rest my case... the cost outweighs the demand, especially in a down economy.

    so keep jacking up those prices, sellers! take away the opportunity for decent hard-working fans to see their favorite team or band play in their hometown.

    The other problem is that people spend too much time buying concessions and drinks. you can miss an entire quarter just getting a soda.

    I think they should let people in for free.

    Yes Sir, concessions lines SUCK! I hate waiting in line for drinks or food because all you do is miss action. It is absolutely horrid.

    It is the lower level seats that make the whole place look empty. As far as I've heard the majority of the lower seats are owned by companies who give the tickets to their clients who go to the bar at the toyota center and watch the game there.

    yeah its the lower level seats that are the problem...the corp guests and employees often leave early or dont stay in their seats, since on TV they pretty much only show court level seats, then the whole place appears even more empty.

    QFT

    and when it comes to the lowerbowl seats (the ones the telecast show), those are extremely expensive and the lighting of the toyota center makes it look empty on TV

    It's the secondary ticket marketplace that is at fault here.

    I think that's the biggest problem.



    When you walk into Toyota Center, and you see someone trying to sell you tickets. Here is what you do.

    You **** those b****es up. You go Gangster on them, and you tell them that Kam told me to do that.

    You know what I should do? I should take pictures of them and post them on Clutchfans, and craigslist. I'd bet they'd like that.
