No “fan union” will ever make Murray Edwards take notice like $8 tickets on the secondary market and thousands of empty seats.
Pro sports are a luxury entertainment product. The cap is $82M - explain how they make that back charging movie theatre prices for tickets and bar prices for booze.
You want to engage with this team on a nightly basis, you have tv and radio for a reasonable rate.
You want to consume this product in person 41 times a year, pay what it costs.
The whole “oh a family of four can’t go to a game” - sure they can. You can get into the building, have a coke and an ice cream, and sit in the press level. Maybe it’s a little pricey, maybe the “value” isn’t there - but if you want to go to watch this team play live, you can, and it won’t cost you a mortgage payment.
Fan unions. Gracious.
