I missed the first 8 minutes because Sundays aren't really my thing until it reaches about 2pm.

Hate the time slot, but yeah I'd love to see a bigger turnout than that!

There are those that wanna see a bitta Creek Schenscher Massingale and have seen enough of Weigh playen the most minutes all of the time.

Well the majority of the games are on a Sunday which will mean they'll be competing with Adelaide United to attract fans. Adelaide United have more publicity and media coverage, plus their team is a lot more successful than the Sixers as of late. Right now, even with today's win, the 36ers are not a good product to market.

Plus at thirty dollars per ticket (cheapest adult seat), not everyone can afford to go regularly. It is a complete rip-off to go to a game to be honest, if it wasn't for the 2-1 vouchers in the entertainment book i would have only gone to one game this season rather then all of them.

The management need to look at reducing the prices and rather sell more tickets, people would be willing to come if it's $20 for the game and a good atmosphere rather then $30 and hardly any people.

Here's my suggestion; drape a banner (like the power) in the top section of Adelaide Arena, dark blue with our logo printed. If the Arena holds 8000 seats, surely the top section would hold 3000-4000 seats leaving the bottom section to hold 4000-5000. Now that the RAA have claimed the bottom 12 rows of the baseline at the Sixers end that's probably 600 seats leaving 3400-4400, Our crowds are around 4400 every game making the stadium look full. That top section is dead space anyway, crowds won't come till a top 4 finish / grand final is up for grabs.

Hate Sunday games. We had a family function today, so I missed the game. I gave my tickets to a mate so at least he got to watch a good game.

Here's my suggestion; don't copy any of the Power's marketing techniques.

Anyone who would attend an Adelaide United game over a 36ers game needs serious mental help but each to their own.

Silver walk ups are $30 which is too high IMO as the cheapest casual ticket. Also seats behind the basket have switched from Silver to Gold in a few cases, right?

United walk ups are flat $25. Season tickets work out at $18/game from memory. Season tickets won't be an option for many people who can't make all games.

Time slot is awful. I work weekends every weekend however I try to prioritise games ahead of work which sometimes is a win and sometimes a loss.

From walk up ticket sales, I would have thought lowering the price would be better than fewer bums on seats however....what do i know?

The other thing is 'value for money'. Is it value for money sitting behind the backboard paying $25-$30 or it is value watching it on TV paying next to nothing?

Adelaide United Reds have crowds down despite doing well.
Crows sales during the season were not great either considering their ladder position for much of the season.

Its only natural that 36er sales should also be down, but this group also has a few players who are not that popular, as well as a coaching staff who need to win back the fans with better court side calls.

Walk up ticket prices are $30?
In the current economic climate that is ludicous.

If 36ers marketing was serious, they could also copy what the Crows did this season,
and reward long term season ticket holders with 2 free tickets to give to their friends.

NBL teams who half fill big arenas frustrate me with their ticket and membership prices. If you reduce prices and get the word out there through visiting local associations that it is great value, you will sell more tickets and there are lots of flow on benefits to be had - more sponsors, more merchandise, more names on database, better game night atmosphere.

Even if there is a small drop in revenue short term it will be covered long term by having more supporters.

Another idea I am a fan of is giving renewing members a 33% discount if they sign a brand new member, so if they sign three they get their season for free. It's effectively getting your supporters to work for you for commission and be your best promoters through word of mouth.
