BULLETS RAISE TICKET PRICES, DESPITE LOSING RECORD

     The Bullets raised ticket prices for the second time in less
than a year.  The team announced an increase of "approximately
12%" for '95-96.  Most tickets will be increased by $3, but some
sections will see up to a $15 increase.  The overall average will
go from $25.13 to "around $28," according to Bullets President
Susan O'Malley.  Team officials said they announced the increase
now "to take advantage of the team's new popularity so they can
begin taking reservations for next season."  The Bullets have
sold out 15 of 21 home games and are on pace to top their record
of 20 sellouts (Richard Justice, WASHINGTON POST, 2/10).
