NBA played politics and the NBA got burned - UofMstateU - 02-18-2017 05:04 PM
MUH TRANNY BATHROOMS
The NBA moved the all-star game from Charlotte to New Orleans, and the demand for the tickets are so abysmal that the ticket prices have plunged. New Orleans hosted the game 3 years ago. At that time, ticket prices 4 days out from the game were $350. This year, they are half of that.

sad. It would have been well supported in Charlotte.

Those are prices on the resale market. The NBA cares... why exactly? If tickets were $3 or $3000 on StubHub, the NBA doesn't get a piece of that either way.
It's a sell out. It's going to be a full arena. I'm sure demand isn't as high as some years; it's in NO for the 3rd time in 10 years, and they've had about 6 months notice.
It's a shame it's not going to be in Charlotte. I was looking forward to going. The NBA isn't hurting one bit thought.

They'd probably do it there more often now, except the office-politics demands they "spread it out" more nowadays.
New Orleans has a lot of negative issues to deal with but they absolutely know how to put on events like this like no other city in US. Possible exception Las Vegas

Agreed and the NBA is getting their money regardless

Houston just hosted the Super Bowl 2 weeks ago and the city got universal high praise. But the overwhelming response I received from a lot of regular visitors to the Super Bowl was that while Houston was fine, they much preferred New Orleans as a host city. Everything there is so centralized and party-oriented that it's a huge favorite of athletes, celebrities and corporate big wigs.

I wouldn't compare a super bowl to an all-star game.
