Worth it. You caught one of the rare entertaining games there. Like witnessing a bald eagle in full flight.
I'm not too upset about it-- it was a fun game, got to see LeBron, Kyrie, Deron Williams, and Kevin Love while watching D'Angelo Russell score his career high. But imagine if I'd gone to the San Antonio blowout game a month before (I almost did) instead or if LeBron/Kyrie/Love had decided to sit out like they did the night before against the Clippers.
As long as people are willing to pay to see a losing product, ticket prices will remain the same or even go up. I think a lot of it is that Lakers games are just a place to be seen for some people and they don't really care about the actual game itself. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Something must be up cause 4th straight losing seasons doesn't warrant raising ticket prices..

I can't even imaging paying that much to watch a basketball game. Even if someone else paid for the seats and it didn't cost me a penny personally, spending that much to watch people play basketball would offend my values.

I would imagine the prices are going up because the product can't be worst than the last 2-3 years can it?
It could. But that has nothing to do with prices. They are capitalizing on the change. Something new, with a well known name, is more exciting than the old paradigm. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

I agree with you actually. It's cool once or twice, but that's about it. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
If you buy tickets, make sure you buy through TicketExchange .... stubhub is RIDICULOUS on fees....you'll end up saving tons of money if you buy through TicketExchange...
I would think it has something to do with season ticket reservations, but who knows. Anyways I recently got on the waiting list for season tickets, so if it is too expensive, by all means, please back out.
