Smallest crowd of the year? 7401 in Glendale last night

For anyone who has been to a game in Glendale it is probably much easier to understand. It is a really strange, middle of nowhere arena. Transit is non existent. Greater Phoenix is the definition of urban sprawl.

That said, move them to Seattle.

I believe the new CBA significantly increased the number of tickets that must be held for the players, so it makes sense that there will be a greater number of those that go unclaimed.

The number has doubled, I believe.

That, factored in with the emergence of TicketExchange makes those tickets really difficult to move in a limited amount of time.

Obviously, if the team was doing better and the TicketExchange tickets were greater than face value instead of less than as they are now, those tickets would then be easier to move.
