Tickets in Perth are highly priced, but definitely not overpriced.

Do they only open up the fourth level when they sell a certain amount of tickets?

Someone on another forum mentioned Jervis was out with a broken thumb....anyone else heard this ?

@NBL Fan: Yes, level four is only opened up once the rest of the stadium gets close to a sellout.

"Overpriced imo"
Two sellouts in three games says otherwise.

Jervis broke a thumb in training today but I think he'll still play.

Everyone wants to go, so charge as much as you want!

Tickets are overpriced, but we all still pay it anyway. Ticket prices around the league should be set by the NBL .. not the teams. THe only prices Teams should be able to set are Membership prices and merchandise prices.

^ nek minit $140 singlets.

On my membership (bronze) my tickets work out to $25 a game. Good seats and view, you can't say that's overpriced. Nickel are only $20 adults, even less on the membership. Those can afford to pay the more expensive tickets don't have a problem filling out the gold, silver, platinum etc. I have no problems forking out those prices and will most likely upgrade my seating to silver or gold next year.

The pricing in Perth is pretty on par with other sporting codes and venues.

No way should prices be set by the league, there are just too many different markets to do that. However, prices should be approved by the league to make sure situations like Townsville are avoided.

And with the renewal bonuses, the majority of the Arena (Bronze/Silver) costs under $30 a game across the season with a membership.

"Tickets are overpriced, but we all still pay it anyway."
Which means they're not overpriced.

"Too expensive for me to sit as close as I want" and "overpriced" aren't the same thing, people.

We sit courtside in Perth and whilst i see our seats as being expensive we are happy enough to pay as we are lucky enough to have a professionally run team in a great stadium in the city.

Well said, koberulz.

I can't believe you just said "it's not worth the time, effort and money" and say you pay for NBL.TV in the same sentence.

"So what if sheep lap up the tickets? They are still overpriced,"

FFS. No. They're not. They're more expensive than YOU PERSONALLY are willing to pay. That's it.

And even then, there's plenty of tickets available for $20. It's not as though there aren't any cheaper options. There are cheaper options, you just have to be willing to sit further back.

It's not as though sitting front row at a Lakers game is cheap either, but that's irrelevant. They're selling enough tickets to have to open up extra seating, therefore the tickets cannot possibly be overpriced as people are willing to buy them.

The NBA circuit reference one isn't totally accurate. If you've "done the NBA circuit" you'll notice that tickets vary wildly according to the demand of each city.

The average ticket price of a Knicks game at MSG or a Lakers game at Staples for instance, is substantially higher than that of a Wizards, Pelicans or Hawks game. $30USD can get you floor seats on Stubhub for most of those teams, whereas the same amount won't get you in the door at the bigger, more established franchises like the Bulls, Knicks and Lakers, where demand is consistent regardless of on court performance.

Is there an issue with this same logic applying to the NBL? You wouldn't expect tickets to a 36ers or Crocs game to be equal to that of a Wildcats game because similar demand doesn't exist.

It's open again for tomorrow night: https://twitter.com/PerthWildcats/status/532778283973099520

Nice - Against Townsville too, a typically lower drawing club

They are getting 20% off because over 25% of the season has passed. I don't see your point lol
Why would you charge full price when there are only 10 games left ?
