Can afford a lot moneywise but cannot afford to go to even one. Cannot switch it off...

I actually have been going to Nets games the past few years. The arena is built better in terms of view especially from less expensive seats,in general ticket prices are much more reasonable, the atmosphere is nice, the games have been waaaay more watchable, and the "dancers" are très slutty!

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

0-5 is about right I love the Knicks but they are a rich man's team now. Meaning it is ALL about money. A friend once told me there are two sets of Fan; the Fan that goes to games and spend thousands of dollars a year on tickets and the fan that watches at home on the TV and goes to the game occasionally. The Knick don't really care about me as much as the Rich man fan. That is why most knick fans are ok with rebuilding but what about the Rich fan? Why do they go to the game to watch a young team loss. That is why we will never rebuild and we are talking about LBJ23 in 2010 all the time here.
In the Knick of time. Knickal for Your thoughts.

Im going on Sunday with a couple of my boys and Im already preparing to drop over a 100. Knick games are so overpriced when theres a fifty fifty chance you might not even see basketball.

So in your eyes - rich fan = bad fan...
Interesting... talk about liberals...

Theoretically, I could afford to go to five - ten games a year, but it wouldn't be worth it to me. I'd rather use the money for other things. Live Knicks games are a ripoff.

I MIGHT try to go to a game this year, but if the Knicks quality of play sucks continuously, then I wont even get a ticket. If it's good enough, then I'll try to get a good seat. However, with that said, I've got other priorities, so it's not the end of the world if I don't make a game. I didn't go to one last season either, and was perfectly content about that.

I could go to games but I dont have the time nowadays.....I think now as a fan you can't go to games expecting anything but a basketball game......thats why is so important for moves to be made to bring in guys that will at least play hard. Right now is the perfect time to just analize the game and just be a coach scout. its hard to do that and pay money for that if the team can't even bring energy 3 games into a new season.

I go to about 10 games a year but generally only buy $10 tickets, and every once in a while splurge for the $44.50. The $10 tickets are a great value for any game- even if the Knicks are crap.

I can afford the ticket, but it is much more than that.

If my girl comes, I have to double my expenses.

If its just me and friends, most of them are broke so it would be only one game.

Tickets, Beer, Food, Transportation.... that **** adds up. All for a piss poor product.

Frankly, I'd rather just pay my rent
