I'd guess it's to make a season ticket more valuable but not sure. If you have specific feedback, be sure to email or call the club.

Please qualify "huge spike" in ticket prices.

Pre-purchase looks a bit more, but seems that you can avoid the booking fee that Venuetix used to have.

How much of the price rise for your family is affected by the child above 14? You can't "blame" the club for your child no longer qualifying for a junior discount.

Also, as the game is now 15% shorter, do you think the cost of running the game on match day has reduced by 15% also?

Anon, was talking about pre-purchase being more than they were last year.

I think last year, Gold concession was $20 (bit higher for phone and internet and they had a $2.20 booking fee on top). Adult was $25. No doubt those prices have gone up but, as I said, I think they are trying to really reward those who commit early to buying a season ticket.

As always, the family tickets are good value - for the same price as two adults, you can essentially take two kids for free (in either Gold or Silver zones). $55 for 2A+2C in Silver is pretty decent value.

Anon, I take it that you have two concessions, an adult and a child. That was $74 last year I think?

This year, obviously still a price rise, but instead of getting the same tickets, you could get a family ticket and an extra concession. That comes to $85 (less than the $95 you mentioned) and you'd have a spare ticket for your child to bring a friend.

Pretty simple i think................commit to the team and buy a season ticket!!
- you can rock up any time because you get your own seats
- you get 4 games for free
- you get first dibs at finals tickets (and we will be playing finals this year)!!

I can't go to all the games thru out the season as they clash with too many Christmas social functions.

I think the price rise is due to the fact that to get sponsorship is harder then ever due to the economic meltdown. That is the who idea of sponsors to bring some funds in so members/supporters don't pay as much.

I understand that some families are trying to tighten their belts and may have to miss out but the clubs have no choice. They have their own bottom lines to think of, the cost of running the games is NEVER going to get cheaper so the costs must be absorbed in the ticket prices.

It's not like any club is swimming in the cash and greedily chasing a few extra dollars from the mums and dads.

I agree that it is a lot of money to commit every year, but it is worth every cent. $320 for a gold ticket or $675 for a family ticket - that's less than $2 a day. You can't even get a cup of coffee or a beer for that.

Even sharing tickets with someone eles who can't attend every game.

They did a try 5 thing last season didn't they? I'm guessing they'll do something similar.

just added up that 2 concession 1 adult and 1 kid can go to a game for $75 when last year it was $74, yep HUGE price increase that.

The increase in individual prices helped us renew our season tickets.

And it should, great reward as a season ticket holder to get such a huge saving, if number 44 has to many xmas functions in Dec well we have 4 home games in Dec miss them all and season ticket is still cheaper.

Although an amazing coincidence that your xmas functions all fall on our 2 Saturdays and 2 Wednesdays.

Stop bithen and go buy th eseason tickets....just a few cancer sticks less for you smokers and a couple few crazy nights out for you drinkers!!!

i could barely afford season tickets this season, but i found a way (borrow money hahahaha) if you are a true fan nothing will get in your way from being part of the 36ers family...

And well worth the commitment:

*Its gonna be a great season

*We WILL be in the play offs

*Even individual tickets are still cheaper than taking the family out for dinner, movies etc.


(Ive got hundreds more reasons to buy tickets, but I'm at work, and need to pay off my season tickets lol)

Robbo: To tell you the truth I didn't even look at the program. Maybe I should of before I made my comment.

We wernt going to renew this year due to finances.. thanx to Sixers Management, who were very helpful sorting us out with a payment plan and monthly instalments. Anything to do your part to support the team you love and enjoy watching. Cant wait till 1st home game!

Just wanted to say that the Wednesday Warriors option plugged by Boti in the Advertiser today looks like a solid proposition - all 4 Wednesday games for a saving of $10 per game! I'm gonna see if any of my mates is up for that.

If someone wants to support the team, they will pay $75 in silver. It's not like they are bad seats.
