From The Detroit News:
Allen Iverson hasn’t yet stepped on the court for the Pistons, but Detroit’s new star already is boosting the team’s fortunes.
The Pistons have averaged 5,000 daily individual ticket sales since the deal was announced Monday. The team also has sold 100 additional season tickets.
The team says Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were the Pistons’ biggest sales days of the season.
Jersey sales have increased too:
The Pistons also announced Thursday that more than 1,000 orders have been placed for Iverson jerseys.
UPDATE: Keith Langlois of Pistons.com:
In the days surrounding last week’s season opener, Pistons.com averaged a little more than 84,000 page views per day. In the three days following the Iverson trade, they averaged almost 500,000 daily views. I’m no math major, but I believe that’s nearly a 600 percent increase.
