The one upside to the NJ Nets' horrendous 2-28 record? Tickets to games are really cheap! The Daily News found people at a recent home game who found great deals on eBay and Stubhub: A teacher with his stepson said, "I don't make much, so $7 per ticket is great for me"—face value for each ticket was $125—"We spent more on food than the tickets - around $18. It's fine since the tickets were so inexpensive." Another man who was treating his girlfriend's two sons to the game and also got their three tickets for $7/each said, "This is the cheapest I've ever paid for tickets. This is my Christmas present to them. They didn't know how cheap I was until just now."
