Is that the cheapest ticket? If so, yes, too expensive.

adults $25
Kids $10 (u16)
Family $59

Will there be any pre-season games at The Dome?

sorry, to clear up any confusion.

These games are being played in WA at local clubs.

September 13th against the Wollongong Hawks.

Ben,
Is there anymore info you can give, times and cost?

Breakers ran a clinic for 500 kids and then got 2000 to their game against AIA - I bet they weren't charging $59 a family – happy to be corrected if wrong, but that’s what the pre-season should be all about.

Yeah, Me is right - $10-15 for adults, $5-8 for kids. Have asked Marvin about it and pointed him here. Might be that the venues are small and they can afford to try and squeeze a bit more out of people? Or perhaps the pricing is up to the venue who want a fat cut?

Nick Marvin has dropped me an email to explain the situation privately.

A separate little bird tells me that it's entrepreneurial Vlahov looking to maximise profit.

Shame, as you'd guess that a bigger crowd and good atmosphere is often a bit of a springboard into a few more walk-up sales for the regular season.

$25 is probably beyond what many teams (besides Melbourne?) would charge for the regular season!

It is a shame. I hope the two teams put on a show worthy of the regular season so the fans get somewhere near their money's worth.

FWIW the Blaze have 2 games against St Marys next week

First game is in Brisy at Carina (Local Club) and 2nd is at TSS on the Coast. Tickets are $10 adults and $5 for kids with season ticket holders getting in free to the TSS game.

It's Perth - home of the $45 fish and chips for 2, $4 Litres of milk and blown out housing market.

$25? Most punters will find that in the change compartment in their Audi/Merc/Lotus.

statman, when is the carina game on and where abouts?

Way to rich unless you get blown at entry!!

it is Perth and pricing here is stupid..BUT, this is A PRE-SEASON warm up game, no way worth $25

me wont be going!

splints, I hear you - went over for a weekend in Perth and Margaret River and despite being warned about the pricing, I was still shocked.

Had a $45 steak at Leeuwin Estate for lunch with a $9 side of shoestring fries and it was no better than what you might get for $14 at a pub in the city here (on a bad night). Came back and had the fillet at Mantra on King William Road for $32 and it was excellent. We are pretty spoilt here when it comes to food (he says, eating charity chocolate Maltesers and No-Doz).

My son just came back from a weekend in Perth and also complained about astronomical prices. It may be typical of Perth to charge more than anywhere else but the NBL is a national league and there should be some uniformity in pricing of games. $25 for a pre season game is over the top.

manshipkirk,

Carina Game is Monday 17th August - 7.00pm tipoff

I think there is a link on the Blaze site of if you want I can shoot you an email with the info I got from the Blaze

We went to perth on a footy trip a couple of years ago. The prices for things were a little bit more, but not too bad. . The worst thing was there was about 15 taxis in the whole city. It was terrible

Nothing new sadly, they've been charging these ridiculous prices for pre-season games for years. I won't be going.

Statman, that would be good.

send it to [email protected]

cheers
