Maybe LeBron James, and Phil Jackson's girlfriend and Lakers VP Jeanie Buss were onto something when they mentioned the idea of NBA contraction earlier this month. Monday's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the host New Jersey Nets proved to be a less desirable match-up than Ronnie and Sammie.
According to a New York Times article, tickets for the LeBron-less, Carmelo-less game could be had on StubHub.com for as low as 11 cents. Yes 11 cents!!!
By the time the site shut down ticket sales, the least expensive seats available were listed at just 11 cents for the game between the two worst teams in the Eastern Conference.With 22 tickets available at that price, the total to buy them would have been $2.42, though service and delivery fees would have increased the total purchase to a whopping $12.37. A single fan traveling from New York City would spend almost that much just getting to the game and back; transportation from Manhattan to the Prudential Center via New Jersey Transit costs $5 each way.
The lowest ticket actually sold for the game went for a whopping $0.48.
