living in melbourne it would be nice to sit with some other sixers supporters!

I am keen possibly. I think Bizzy might be heading over for that one too?

Sure am, along with my brother and another mate. We're going over on the Tuesday morning & coming back Thursday arvo.

Think cost me about $100 return.

Finally a crowd at Hisense arena, come on over guys & gals.

Remind me when you're coming over....we'll see if we can catch up and say "Gidday".

(Mod: Deleted.) mate, I've got a zip together double goose down sleeping bag we can share. Can you accommodate me?

mods, bring yourselves up to speed by visiting OzHoops. The man has it spelt out, in his Dragon specific fonted signature.

different site. not your place to do it here i would've thought.

I really should have added a clarification on that invitation.

No double geese

Go it alone goose.

I'm there - I got Tiger both ways for $46 return paying taxes only.

Will be great to have other supporters there in voice. Hopefully we can cheer loud enough to rattle some players and spectators and help get the boys over the line! =)

So who has or hasnt organised tickets yet? should we all pick an end to get tickets in? Ie opposition's (Sixers) basket?

Flights on Tuesday night and return on Thursday morning means 2 nights accommodation and 1 day only in Melbourne. That is hardly good value. It could be cheaper to pay more for your flight and leave Wednesday morning and return Thursday night giving you only 1 night accommodation and 2 days in Melbourne.

EC I was basing it on if you had free accommodation there. There was another good deal I saw leaving Wednesday after noon about 3ish and then coming back Thursday morning.

The point is there is lots of cheap Tickets which could cater for alot of possibilities. Hopefully we get a good show of support there.

DJ could you recommend where we could all sit as I haven't been to that stadium before. I don't usually like being behind the rings.

EC - free accommodation mate! =)

Yeah, if there is a desire to sit somewhat together, definitely don't want to be behind the rings.

Would love to be behind one of the team benches if possible.

I dont know if you could even arrange something through the sixers?

Quite often, the visiting team in Adelaide has a group of their supporters sitting right behind them on the bench.

Is there still a cheer squad for the Sixers? I remember years ago, there was something like the footy cheer squads. May have been only home games though..

Hisense Arena

A tad misleading as it dosn't show the corporate boxes that run in front of the yellow zones and they are about 4 deep.
Yellow areas you are looking at $35.00
blue area you are looking at $24.50


Opposition is end 7,8,9,10.
I normally go for a end view as the sides are a good 15 rows back (plus corporate boxes) before you get into $24.50 seats and than mainly dominated with Dragons members who are on the cheaper package so you end up equivalant of concourse or above in Dome terms on the sides.
For the sides you want to steer clear of zone 7 and 10, seats face straight ahead and extremely weird spot to watch a game from (they are not angled like the dome).
You want to go for zone 8 & 9 and try and keep it as close to the outer walkways for a pretty good view, usually can pick up row 3-5 in that area pretty easily.

Anyone who dosnt mind an end view is welcome to join me (a sixer fan) and a few melb bball junkies down that way.

Can we get this bumbed up for a day or two isaac? since it's just been posted and moved off the main page already.

Excellent work DJ! Where will the Sixers bench be? From my understanding it is where 1 and 2 will be?

The seats behind the opposition bench at the Dome are often allocated to visiting players and they, in turn, give them to friends and family.

At other venues, seats for the visiting team to give to friends are not always as good - for the Bullets a few years back, we were right up near the back.

More brilliant work by DJ, & Isaac's on the mark with visiting seat allocations around the traps. Not all clubs are as nice to visiting fans as the 36ers.
It's a money first business world out there, & the rest of the league look to disadvantage visitors.
There's no prize in it, but I'd be interested to see if someone could post how our "single clap" for visiting players came about.

I'm pretty confident that the opposition bench is at 11 & 12 (they seemed to have switched it from last season. Maybe Dicko can confirm.

The players/opposing club tickets are usually in 35 (terrible viewing)
