COVID-19: potential ticketing revenue loss for the NBA 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020 hit the sports industry hard. Many professional leagues across the globe suspended their seasons, including the National Basketball Association in the United States. At the time the season was suspended in March 2020, there were still 259 games left in the 2019/20 NBA regular season. The ticketing revenue loss if these remaining regular season games were to be postponed was estimated at 300 million U.S. dollars.
