In a surprising report, the Brooklyn Nets have come in last place in reference to NBA season ticket sales.

The New York Post reports that the 2022-23 season has the Nets in the red as they only managed to sell 5,500 season tickets at the 17,732-seat Barclays Center. The sub-6K ticket sales has the Nets in last place among 30 teams. Their current ticket sales fall well short of last year’s numbers which ranged between 8,000 and 9,000. While the Nets organization has yet to comment on the lowly ticket sales but didn’t dispute the report’s findings. Much of the ticket-sale woes come as a result of the Nets ratcheting up prices. Per the New York Post: 

The Nets have chased away many loyal fans after jacking up prices on some seats by more than 50% for the team’s 41 home games at Barclays Center, multiple sources told The Post. 

Last season, single-game sales buttressed the season ticket total to help the Nets finish 10th in average paid attendance, according to NBA confidential financials obtained by The Post — not far behind crosstown rival Knicks. The Nets drew 14,919 per game, a 26.3% spike from the previous non-pandemic year, generating $2.15 million in average net gate receipts, a 108.5% increase year-over-year, according to the data.
