The Phoenix Suns have increased their season ticket prices for next season, much to the disdain of those who hold them. The team says that the average ticket will go up between 6 to 16 percent but considering the way averages work, some fans are seeing even larger increases.
Unfortunately, the ticket increase is a necessary evil.
As much as it would be nice if stuff were free, my lifetime of meandering through society has proven to me this is almost never the case, and usually, stuff–at least cool stuff that people want–often cost more than what is expected.
