Jimmy Nigg is a bar owner with a basketball problem. He loves the Nuggets too much — and has an unpaid bill of more than $40,000 for the jacked-up price of six season tickets to prove it.
“What’s the justification for raising ticket prices? It’s almost like the Nuggets are trying to push away season-ticket holders, like they don’t want us anymore,” Nigg told me Wednesday.
Nigg, owner of the Monkey Barrel bar in Denver, has been a Nuggets season-ticket holder since the bad old days of J.J. Hickson and Brian Shaw. But this 43-year-old entrepreneur regarded the NBA as a way to bond with his three basketball-loving kids.
