Its a little bit concerning. Ticket prices surged after the news, dropped a little with the 8:30 time frame, and today they are plummeting.

Some of them are not far off of what they were pre-Zion announcement.

That is...troubling. Might not be the packed house we were expecting.

Think the 8:30 time slot, compared with the average fan thinking we're out of the playoff hunt, and mostly forgetting the Zion preseason hype is lessening demand. Weekend crowd will pick up.

8:30 tipoff on a weeknight is not ideal, particularly for out of towners

Nobody with young kids are going to go at that time. It’s not a big deal. We won’t lose Zion for 80 percent capacity.

When I looked earlier the prices were low, but there weren't many available outside of the top rows of the upper deck. It's very unusual, for the amount left I would think that the prices would be at least double.

I see $88 and as low as $78 behind the goal.

I also see section 101 I think 22 rows up for $128. That's a heck of a value.

Talking about $88 tickets behind the bench.

Eh its just something that people are talking about. I feel like this game regardless of time should easily be a sellout. Not tickets going for 8 dollars.

It seemed like the Utah game was very loud without a true packed house. I think the fans will make noise, and that makes a difference that the team notices.

I have to call bullshite on that, or you are being very generous with your "behind the pels bench"

Can’t be helped when the game won’t start until 8 fricking 30. Won’t get out on the highway until 11 at the earliest. That’s a lot for a fan base that mostly has to travel in to watch games.

Yea, I missed the "behind the bench" part.

That's pretty hard to believe, to be honest.

This. If the game is later than 7 pm, it might as well be
midnight basketball for a lot of fans.
