New Yorkers may be slow to snatch up all their Louis C.K. tix but man they have not had trouble grabbing and scalping the first regular season Brooklyn Nets tickets at the brand new Barclays Center. The team's November 1 game against the Knicks is averaging $800 on StubHub and other secondary-markets.
Sure you can still get some nosebleed tickets to the sold-out game for a little over $200-a-pop but if you want to be a bit closer to the action you better be willing to pay more. A lot more. For example? A Row 2 ticket is currently on StubHub for $9,997!
The bonkers average for the opening night game apparently puts the $675.43 ticket average for MSG tickets during the height of Linsanity to shame. Sigh. Anybody remember last season, when you could literally get a Nets ticket for pennies?
