The Lakers have raised their tickets prices for the 2004-2005 season on nearly all levels.  This includes a $100 increase on courtside seats.

"What we've always tried to do is maintain a fair price structure," Black said. "Our high-priced tickets are reflective of what people are willing to pay, while still maintaining the lower-price tickets which make our games accessible for families and people of all economic levels."

Will Jack be able to afford the new pricing scheme?  And even if he can, will he attend with no Shaq?
