That's the fact, only a few watches PBA nowadays and the real fans have stayed but it's not that surprising that many of them have been out too when they're tired seeing the same teams getting in the semis and the finals. IIRC, there's also a promo that they've made about giving free tickets on valentines or this March. I can't remember but it didn't clicked to the public and that's actually a hard pill to swallow for the commissioners and staff of PBA when they're ignored by majority of the Filipino basketball community and it's more fun to watch the other leagues that are emerging nowadays like MPBL and international leagues where there are Filipino players.

They don't get it actually, the real problem is not that people can't afford for the tickets but it's the lack of interest because they are not anymore seeing this as a competitive league. (X) all that farm teams, at least for a start and let's see from their if the league's revenue will progress. The next thing to do is eliminate sister teams as we can't prevent people from thinking that sister teams when playing they aren't serious.

IMHO, they are aware of it and they get it. It's true that it's not about the ticket prices because whatever the cost of it, if the league is handled well. The venues are going to be closely booked and there will be no more scalpers that will take those tickets but even now, the scalpers aren't interested to take part of hoarding tickets. LOL. The farm teams don't really make sense for the league and the commissioners don't do anything with it in their power to control them but it's always money that talks for them.

I agree, it's not all about the ticket prices or other cost in purchasing merch, it's all about people and the supporters are losing interest with them because of repetitive teams playing in the semis, supporters know how the team plays and they can easily predict who will become the winning team, But I don't know if there's still a lot of people still watching them once it was aired on television.
