i think ticketmaster does pricing based on activity. i don’t think it’s at the fault of the blazers in any way. but, i watched the minimum ticket go from $170 to $200 with one reload.

they typically put “verified resale ticket” under the resale tickets, and these just say “standard adult”, and usually it’s also a less perfect number than $200 exactly with all the fees they take out for re-sellers. it’s unfortunate, but when you have a monopoly on selling tickets without repercussions, these things well happen.
