I'm not saying the Bulls shouldn't be charging high prices, but I'm just amazed that they can get it.

Golf course prices are similarly inflated here. A $50 course in Michigan is easily $100 in Chicago... and you have to drive pretty far to get to them. And the courses are packed, so the rates are justified.
