A while ago an MSG executive named Bill Jemas wanted to test a theory he had. If you priced the second row at a Knicks game more than the first, what would people buy first? The answer when it was tested was clear…people gravitated to the highest price with the idea that the best cost …
There was a time now pretty long ago when athletes…well almost everyone… had to seek out others to tell their story or show off their expressionism.
