NBA lockout aside, Nets working hard to sell New York on next season's team, Barclays Center & Brooklyn
Ready to roll out massive new mobile sales machine; luxury suites are already half-gone

For fans seeking season tickets to next year’s debut in the Barclays Center, the Brooklyn-bound club started dishing out seats five months ago.
The results have been better than the ill-fated marriage of forward Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian: About 50% of their 100 suites — average price $250,000 — are already sold, the team said.
And season ticket sales for the 4,400 best seats in the new Brooklyn arena are about 15% ahead of expectations — with per-game costs ranging from $99 to $1,500. "The community is reaching out for the best seats,” said Fred Mangione, the team’s chief marketing officer. “We’re pretty happy.”
On Tuesday, the Nets roll out their latest fan-friendly attraction: “The Experience,” a state-of-the-art, interactive, souped-up and hooped-up mobile marketing tool.
