Trends in the market: In the worldwide basketball market, there has been a steady increase in online ticket sales, with many major leagues and teams offering digital ticketing options.

This can be attributed to cultural preferences and a smaller fan base, leading to lower ticket sales. Furthermore, regulations and licensing requirements also play a significant role in determining ticket prices and availability in these markets.
