confirms the prices of Clippers' season-ticket packages remain unchanged.

full-season seats in Premier Maxime Talbot Jersey the third level of Staples Center ran $396.

averaged in 2009-10.

below the Los Angeles Lakers' $95.25 average ticket, highest in the NBA.

The Authentic Donald Driver Jersey average cost for a family of four to attend a Clippers game last year was $313.86, ninth

-highest in the league.

reward its loyal fans Youth Peyton Manning Jersey who had held onto their seats while the team lost 116 games combined

the previous two seasons.

fans, you just smile. As a season ticket holder you've experienced it all firsthand."

Griffin is featured in nine of the 13 photographs in the brochure. Other players featured

include Eric Gordon, DeAndre Jordan, Al-Farouq Aminu and, strangely, Baron Davis, who was

traded to Cleveland in late February.

materials were shipped Feb. 14, 10 days before Davis was traded.
