NETS FANS MUST JUMP THROUGH $4,500 HOOP

Premium Nets season-ticket holders might have to shell out $4,500 - just for the right to buy tickets to games at the team's planned Brooklyn arena, the Post has learned.

A confidential December audit by KPMG projects the Nets will charge a $4,500 "personal seat license" fee for each of the best 4,500 seats at Barclays Center once the 18,000-seat arena is built and the team starts playing there in 2009-2010.

The document estimates Nets game tickets in Brooklyn ranging from $51 to $970 each. The team's current ticket prices at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, N.J., run from $10 to $1,750. The costly $1,750 seats are among 32 new "Hollywood seats" the team began offering courtside last season to A-listers like rap-star-turned-Nets investor Jay-Z and his gal pal, Beyoncé Knowles.
