Team Marketing Report says that the average ticket price is up 2.8 percent to $49.47. But what we're interested in is what teams, in this economy, are more in demand this year than last? For that, we look at the secondary market and turn to the folks at RazorGator.com for the top 10 increases.
TEAM AVG. ' 07 PRICE AVG. '08 PRICE PERCENT INCREASE
OK.City Thunder $30 $118 293 Percent
Utah Jazz $24 $84 250 Percent

New Jersey Nets $60 $70 16.6 Percent
I'm throwing out the Oklahoma City Thunder since they moved from Seattle. So judging from this chart, the Charlotte Bobcats are currently the best value in the NBA. Their average ticket price ($36.26) is 58 percent lower than the price the tickets are commanding on the secondary market.
