TICKET NEWS & NOTES: TOUGH TIME FOR WARRIORS TO RAISE PRICES

          The Warriors have raised prices for the Oakland
     Coliseum Arena, the team's renovated arena to re-open next
     season, according to David Steele of the S.F. CHRONICLE. 
     Prices have "leaped in every section, so that the cheapest
     seat goes from $9.75 to $12.50 and the most expensive, at
     courtside, goes from $60 to as much as $200.  Warriors
     Counsel Robin Baggett called fans' response to the increase
     "phenomenal ... (On Tuesday) we had 400 responses, and four
     or five people made derogatory comments" (S.F. CHRONICLE,
     3/27).  Courtside tickets will go up $140 from $60-200, and
     $34 tickets will cost $55 ("SportsCenter," ESPN, 3/26).  
          DOLPHINS: The Dolphins are raising prices for most
     season-ticket holders, according to Kevin Ding of the MIAMI
     HERALD.  The increases range from $1-4 per seat, but the
     price of the cheaper seats will remain unchanged --
     "including the $17 economy-section ticket that is the
     fourth-cheapest season ticket in the NFL."  The price
     increases are "expected" to net an additional $709,710 next
     season.  Individual-game tickets will increase "by similar
     amounts," with details coming in April (MIAMI HERALD, 3/27).
