Ah, a desperate totalitarian attempt to connect dots.

Here's the thing...if there was a law that said I had to buy season tickets to the Celtics, then yes, it would be hurt. But there isn't. See, there is this thing called free will, by which, the NBA cannot force me to go to a game, it is my choice. If I choose to pay the higher prices, then the only person inflicting that additional financial burden on me, is myself. If I choose not to go to games anymore, and enough people feel the same way, they will be forced to lower prices to get me back.

It's called the free market, and as long as there is some regulation to prevent abuse, it works pretty well.
