Ok refund the premium portion of the ticket cost for load management. I'm not saying to refund the whole ticket because you got to see a game.

A Detroit home ticket vs Steph, Klay & Dray's Warriors gets priced substantially more than a game vs the Hornets, but when those stars don't play, their team looks just like the Hornets.

The premium charge is further amplified for inter-conference games where fans of that city will only see an opponent once a year, and whoever sets the initial price has kept this in mind.
