Sixers recently reported their 100th consecutive sellout game before beating the Miami Heat at the Wells Fargo Center.
Joel Embiid #21 of the Philadelphia 76ers reacts in front of Chris Silva #30 of the Miami Heat in the third quarter at the Wells Fargo Center on November 23, 2019 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.It wasn't long ago the Philadelphia 76ers sat at the bottom of the NBA's attendance rankings. Sixers president Chris Heck said the team only sold 3,500 season tickets in the 2013-14 season, "and the majority of the holders were brokers," he said in an interview. The Sixers finished 17th on ESPN's NBA attendance ranking that season and dropped to 30th in the 2015 season. The average ticket price was roughly $95, compared with an average ticket price across the league that season of $144, according to data provided to CNBC by Ticketmaster.
But Heck also credited Sixers CEO Scott O'Neil with the increase in demand. He recalled the plan in 2014 to change their operation to focus on the "business side" and rebuilt the team's brand, which O'Neil felt was outdated.
