Bag om Beating the NBA
Is there anyone who's been to an NBA game lately that hasn't felt ripped-off? Griping about the cost of tickets has become as routine as the opening tip-off. And it's no wonder; while America confronts a continuously bumpy economy, the Lakers, Knicks, and even the woeful Hornets peddle seats at hundreds - sometimes even thousands - of dollars, pricing out the majority of their fans. But just outside their glistening arenas, on the city pavements and internet classifieds, lurks a dirty little secret: Good tickets can be had for pennies on the dollar...if you know how to play the system. For one frugal fan, that's when the adventure begins. With years of professional experience as a value-conscious investor and years of semi-professional experience as a sports-obsessed haggler, Motez Bishara sets off on a madcap thirty-one game, cross continental quest to buy the best NBA tickets at the lowest possible prices. From Miami to Portland, hilarious anecdotes and insightful interviews combine to uncover the rapidly evolving ticketing industry. By maximizing those trends, Beating the NBA empowers fans to achieve the most elusive victory in all of sports: bagging a great deal.
