thanks for the reply, yes I know that higher level seats are not effected as much as lower ones,
mine was simply a consideration based upon what would happen in real life , for playoff attendance there should be no link with regular season games fan survey, I consider the playoff a different race, at least in real life that's the case, none cares if the celtics/lakers/sund won or lost last regular season game, it's playoff time and that's it.
