With LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball signing contracts with Lithuanian club Vytautas Prienai, it hasn't taken long for the club to try to cash in on the Ball name.

According to Lithuanian basketball reporter Simonas Baranauskas, the Ball brothers are expected to make their Prienai debut in the Baltic Basketball League (lower division) game against BC Tsmoki-Minsk on Jan. 9.

The game is already the No. 9 trending matchup on ticket retailer Tiketa, and the prices will stand out for the Lithuanian fans. That's because the 7.30-euro starting price is three times more expensive than the club's typical Baltic Basketball League ticket cost of 2.40 euro.

This is the ticket page for the Tsmoki-Minsk game. Take a look:

Compared to the Dec. 23 game against BC Šiauliai where tickets started at 2.40 euro.

Every game after Jan. 9 continued to have the 7.30-euro starting price, which amounts to around $8.60.

By NBA standards, that would be a bargain, but this is lower-division Lithuanian basketball. A 304-percent increase is no joke.
