Back of the envelope calcs on wildcats attendance assuming approx 40$ tickets (probably quite a low assumption) nets them $7.2m in ticket sales alone.

Hopefully can get sbs to show all games live on tv, as to avoid shit internet at times.

There are 150,000 people in the Cairns area. A 4,000 crowd is like 3% of the population. By that metric, the people of Perth really need to up their game

Perth don't have any seats left to fill. Near capacity every week.

I don't know about other clubs, but it looks to me like United include all members in the attendance figures, whether or not they turn up. There were quite a few sold-out games which did not have 10,300 people in attendance (which is the capacity), even though that’s the attendance that was recorded.

Does descending mean something different in Perth?

"I don't know about other clubs, but it looks to me like United include all members in the attendance figures, whether or not they turn up."

I would expect "attendance" is another way of saying ticket sales. Sure, some members may technically not attend but if they got the $$ for it then its a positive regardless.

You d expect a good crowd in Perth.

Between neck tattoos, working the mines, going to a dentist and buying a ute, there is alot of time to fill.

Classic Perth slam!

Good numbers, Nissan arena is a nice basketball venue but the bus system needs some work.
It's time for a second team in Perth.

Yeah the NBL is a bit slow at bringing new teams in.

The kings could do double headers with the wnbl.

Um you obviously haven't been to a kings game Curtley, there is two good sports bars with in 200 meters. You can drink and eat there before and after games. The kings normally send a few players up there after every game, the bar over the summer moths is called the kings bar. Kids eat free with every adult meal.

"Kids eat free with every adult meal."

Don't tell ME, he'll start ranting about adults subsiding children's meal for the sake of equality! #pandorasbox

Not certain about other states but nsw has flogged all its stadiums to private companies. Both the WEC and Qudos cost an arm and leg to hire, both Illawarra and Sydney begin behind the eight ball straight up.

Sydney - Will break even with playoffs <<<<- Would absolutely shock me if true. Spent way more on their roster than other clubs, and with luxury tax implications and additional players on the roster/practice squad all year, their spend must be through the roof.

What a load of crap. You looked at the Melbourne and Perth rosters. Give it a break and come back when you got some facts.

Stadium rental is what kills Sydney and Illawarra but there isn't anywhere else.

CCC expansion will have no effect at all on basketball seating. it's all about adding additional capacity and facilities for conventions.

Cairns is doing it very tough right now. tourism has dropped off a cliff and most other industries are being affected in some way. in this context those numbers are fantastic.

Pretty sure moving to perth arena now rac was not cheap. I remember 10k members been thrown around as the goal to make it viable. Sydney carrys on like it's the moat expensive place to live (it can be) but perths floor is higher. Pretty sure perth has the highest per game ticket costs too.

Well done Brisbane considering they didn't make playoffs and still increased their crowds by a lot
