Nets have already exceeded last season's ticket revenue
The signings of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and DeAndre Jordan are paying off in a big way for the Brooklyn Nets.
A team spokesperson told Front Office Sports the Nets have already exceeded their ticket revenue from the entirety of the 2018-19 season. June 30 - the day the news broke that the trio was headed to Brooklyn - was the largest single day of ticket-sales activity in team history, with staff receiving nearly 1,000 inbound phone calls on that day alone.
The Nets' online store has also experienced a traffic spike since the start of free agency. NetsStore.com saw a 304 percent increase in sales on June 30 compared to an average day last season, while July 1 was its highest-trafficked day ever - a record that would be broken less than a week later, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
Owner Mikhail Prokhorov expects the Nets to set a record in revenue following its new additions.
"We were already in the midst of one of the best offseasons we've had since the team arrived in Brooklyn" in 2012, Prokhorov wrote in an email to Bloomberg's Eben Novy-Williams. "With our recent signings, our expectation is that we will surpass our highest revenue marks in franchise history this year."
