There's no question the Sixers are one of the hottest tickets in Philadelphia, especially with the notion of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons playing together on the same team next season.
Unsurprisingly, the Sixers have broken the franchise record for amount of season tickets sold, which was previously held by the 2001-02 Sixers team. According to Tom Moore of Calkins, the team is expected to sell more than 13,000 in just a mere couple of days.
Told #Sixers have surpassed franchise record for season tickets (Iverson 2001-02 #76ers) & expected to surpass 13,000 in coming days. #NBA

This is great news for the basketball team in the City of Brotherly Love and is more proof that the team has already caused a lot of excitement in their fanbase, given this past month of January where the Sixers were the hottest commodity in Philadelphia.
While Embiid and Simmons are givens, the Sixers have a chance to get the top pick in the NBA Draft for the second year in row, when the lottery takes place next Tuesday.
With the draft coming up, and free agency looming not too far after the season ends, the Sixers will have a chance to put a product on the court that will continue to sell season tickets for years to come.
