Almost 4,500 tickets sold for Boomers-Argentina

The Adelaide 36ers can confirm that the Dome is set to have the largest crowd of the Boomer's three games series versus Argentina.

Despite being a dead rubber in the best of 3 games, basketball fans have reconfirmed that Adelaide is the strongest capital city for attendances to elite basketball games.

Almost 4,500 tickets have been sold before game day. Federal Minister for Sport, Kate Ellis as well as Basketball Australia CEO, Larry Sengstock, will be amongst those spectating.

Basketball fans are not missing the opportunity to see NBA talents such as Patty Mills and Nathan Jawai nor the home grown talent of Brad Newley and Joe Ingles playing on the Brett Maher court tonight.

In a coup for the 36ers, Argentina has agreed to stay on in Adelaide to play some internal scrimmage matches.

This will be a great test for current 36ers as well as give coach Marty Clarke the opportunity to test out some young SA talent as the coaches search for 36ers of tomorrow.

Good crowd given the game is on a Tuesday night. Hopefully more will rock up at the gates but given the weather I doubt it.

How much are tickets there? Less than the $39 adult tickets in Melbourne?

Still only just on half-capacity.

Would probably have sold more if there was a tie-breaker game tonight.

Oh wells.

That will be a pretty good crowd all things considered. There will also undoubtedly be several hundred walk-ups. Enough to create a bit of an atmosphere in the building.

C-grade team, no tiebreaker and horrible weather today. Still, all anyone wants is some entertainment and a bit of atmosphere which we should get with 4k or so fans.

I'll fork out tonight due to the weather.
