Following in the footsteps of Phoenix and Miami, two other surprise winners this season, the Memphis Grizzles have announced a plan to increase season ticket prices in 2005-06 in the FedExForum, credited as one of the nicest arenas in the NBA.

The Grizzlies' average ticket price of slightly more than $50 next season would still keep the Griz below the league average, according to Mike Golub, executive vice president of business operations.

"This has always been our hardest decision -- how to price," Golub said. "All along, we've wanted to create affordability."

The Griz will, however, still offer 500 $5 Sonic Saver seats on game days.
