Those who follow the NBA noticed how good the Portland Trailblazers are doing this season. Currently at 22-5, they hold one of the best records in the league. This is a complete surprise even for the experts who predicted the Blazers would finish mediocre at best.
Ideally, the better the team is, the higher the ticket sales; more people would be interested in attending games. This is exactly the case for the Blazers franchise.
According to The Oregonian, "ticket revenue has more than doubled," since December of last year. Monday's match against the Detroit Pistons generated five times more revenue than the average Monday.
What's more surprising, other than the Blazers' great start to the season, is that most of their home games did not sell out so far. That simply means there's still room to increase revenue from ticket sales. The Blazers front office no doubt love this.
The Moda Center (Previously known as the Rose Garden) can hold nearly 20,000 people for a Blazers home game.
The most anticipated game so far for the Blazers is the December 28th game against the Miami Heat. The average ticket price for that game: $95.
Teams' front offices make do with what they have when it comes to ticket sales and customer relations. The Blazers organization has to be blessed that their team is performing exceptionally well this season. It just makes the job of selling tickets and filling seats much easier.
