[DiggityDaggityDo]

$500 to watch layup drills?

Pass

I’d rather spend the $500 on Pistons season tickets.

 

[carolinakid]

i have been offer up in the thousands for unc/duke next week

 

[charliebrown]

What will the wnba ticket prices be. That will be something to keep an eye on if she can sustain this hype

Blame Biden and run away inflation.

10 years from now - someone’s gonna look back and be like “I paid a grand for 2 nosebleed seats to a women’s basketball game why ?” I could have put that money in BTC at 61k and really made some money.

Never understood paying through the nose for most any event though - tickets are just part o of the cost - parking, concessions, hotel - easily could cost $2500 for 2 by the time your done - watch it at local sports bar together for under $50 with tip if you enjoy the experience of setting in a crowd.

How many games has LBJ played ?

Supply/demand - people want to say they saw her play in person for some reason.

Same people pay mega bucks to see a T Swift concert - don’t get it. Watch it on small screen - much better viewing experience.

A couple of years ago me & some buddies did a “guy’s weekend” in Vegas. It was during the football season, & the Raiders were hosting I think the Broncos in a nothing game. We thought, hey let’s get some cheap seat tickets & check out the stadium. Cheapest seats were like $350?!?! For crappy Raiders/Broncos?!?!

F#CK THAT!!!!!

Caitlin Clark is the one exception and what makes her so special

I agree with you overall though

I'm sure to start with they will be high but eventually it will fizzle out

 

[Tanko]

Is Fishhead going to the game? Is he back in Iowa?

No he's still here in Vegas

 

[jjgold]

I think she needs 20 points to break the record pistol Pete

That'll happen today. Guaranteed.
During her last home game.

I don’t care how many she scores - she is not superior to Pete.

Dude did it in 3 years - without a 3 point line and simply left most he played with in awe. He was coddled the whole way - no doubt. But guy was on a different talent level.

She’s good - but is she even the best of her generation? No one looked at Pete and ever asked that question - it was an automatic. There was Alcindor - and then along came Pete. Walton was up there - but Pete wasn’t a big man - he was a magician with the ball who could score from anywhere at any time.

It’s just a record for the media to talk about
