Nic Barlage is part of a fascinating new territory when it comes to the NBA and dynamic ticket sales.

Barlage discusses some of the new enhancements that the Cavs had pioneered, including Flash Seats, which has allowed them to earn the second-highest renewal rate in 2012-13 of non-NBA playoff teams at 89 percent.
