It's 12,000 ticket packages, still an upgrade though.

you follow fletcher...
here's the real story
LINK
quote:
The New Orleans Hornets announced Monday they have surpassed an average of 12,000 tickets sold per game this upcoming season, which includes partial and full-season season ticket packages, group sales and suites sold at the New Orleans Arena, according to team spokesman Harold Kaufman.
It is the highest tickets sold per game average prior to the season starting since the Hornets relocated from Charlotte, N.C., in 2002. Under new owner Tom Benson, the Hornets have made a push this offseason to either match or exceed last season's 10,000 season ticket total.
The Hornets are expected to be one of the young emerging teams to watch because of No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis and rookie guard Austin Rivers.
Kaufman said they still have season tickets available in all categories. The Hornets open the regular season on Oct. 31 at the New Orleans Arena against the San Antonio Spurs.

It's a good thing. Tough crowd on Hornets Talk. Which is ironic, if you think about it.

This is good almost two months until play and we have 12k seats sold. Sure isn't a bad thing.
I'm in. My ticket rep is Mr. Gross, dude kicks ass.

He is a good rep.
Yeah, it's a great feat, just not 12k great. I'm estimating 9k STH.

Actually, the Hornets have downsized in personnel since Benson bought the team.
