Though they've been a generally disappointing team this year, and are on a pace to miss the playoffs again, the Minnesota Timberwolves today announced fairly steep increases for the cheaper seats at the soon-to-be-remodeled Target Center for next season.

The team opened its season-ticket-renewal period today.

"This season has proven to be exciting thus far with ups and downs, but we are truly on the path to achieving our long-term goals," team boss Flip Saunders said in his letter to supporters today. "Our mission is to become an organization with stability that is capable of making deep postseason runs on an annual basis."

Here's how how the price increases are distributed:

The average ticket price this season is about $71, which ranks last in the NBA, the team notes. But there's a reason for that. The team struggles to attract fans even at that price. The team ranks 24th in the 30-team league in attendance so far this season.
