Opinion | When the Nuggets jack up price of a season ticket by 83%, is that proof of a loyal fan loving basketball too much? (via markkiszla) MileHighBasketball
Jimmy Nigg is a bar owner with a basketball problem. He loves the Nuggets too much — and has an unpaid bill of more than $40,000 for the jacked-up price of six season tickets to prove it.
Nigg, owner of the Monkey Barrel bar in Denver, has been a Nuggets season-ticket holder since the bad old days of J.J. Hickson and Brian Shaw. But this 43-year-old entrepreneur regarded the NBA as a way to bond with his three basketball-loving kids. So he bet on exchanging high-fives with children that are now elementary-school age and gradually assembled a sweet collection of season tickets throughout Ball Arena.
Nigg, who shares tickets with friends and regularly treats clients to games, counts on fans of visiting teams to defray the cost of his basketball jones. He recently received an invoice from Kroenke Sports Enterprises for six season-tickets for next season.“It looks to me like fans are paying for Micheal Porter’s new contract, because we all watched the Nuggets do nothing at the trade deadline,” Nigg said.
