That is a good idea actually

A winning team will fill the arena. A few more losses like that may force a coaching change. He's had his chances & this squad should finish top 2.

Trev Gleeson?

He would kick ass with this team & is available...

Sunday afternoon at 1:30...no wonder there are empty seats. Have a reasonable schedule and they will come!

Last Saturday at 7.30pm there were 4300 there, so Im not sure that's the answer. Until they start winning consistently I cant see them getting more than the 4000-5000 that have been at most games the last couple of years.

To have 4700 there today after three seasons of last or second last is still pretty good. If the team shows they are finally for real that number will improve.

Good idea. Give each district club enough tickets for each player in the under 14 age groups, and make sure they are given to the players. Parents will buy tickets to go with the kids also which creates revenue. Games will be packed and create better atmosphere which is needed urgently seeing how quiet the crowd is. Not to mention bigger media attention, looks better on TV broadcasts, etc etc etc

great idea even give tickets to ausie hoops kids and school basketball. Why not get the district kids out there at half time with a shooting competion each club enters their best shooter for the grade, the next week have the fastest kids run off and then a ball skills competition. Let the crouds see some of our talented juniors, that may encourage them to get their kids into basketball. Keep offering the $10 tickets etc just get the arena full so basketball can stay there.

Yes it does look extremely bad having empty sections like that. I would like them to make the ends 10 dollars and with every adult a registered junior with basketball sa or sa country gets free entry. I think that could fill the stadium.

And possibly try and get together a bunch Of willing people say 30 people on each end, directly behind the basket first 3 rows. As a cheer squad type thing, they must wear blue, and pump up the crowd and put of the opposition on free throws etc. offer these people 100 dollar season tickets as long as they get into it and pump up the crowd!

Other then that they are doing all the things right, but still want to see a more flowing game then what is being produced now. It can't hurt the crowds and tv viewers.

The crowd looked good on TV yesterday, as opposed to the first two games, because there were people at the ends.

I dont think there is any reason to panic, but smart discount deals for juniors are definitely a good strategy. Dont compromise on adult ticket prices though or it can devalue the product.

Well, it's of value to the 2500-odd members and they are the most important customers.

There are those that are creatures of habit ,
they used to whiz into a big parking area in william st and watch their favorite players
They got chased away last season but ya park there agen now and watch a new team
Seems it was live on OneHD

Last round vs Cairns we had 4300. This week it was reported to have 4700 eventhough it looked like there were way more than 400 extra people.

Surely a miscalculation somewhere?? Groupon sold 1000 tickets and after last weeks performance/win you would expect another 4300 + 1000 group ons = 5300.

My initial though was 5,500 looking around. Anyone else agree?

A latter time slot would be a good start,although i will still be there no matter when.

It's not about settling, it's more about ensuring the most committed customers who put the most money in remain loyal and building from that.

Strategies to target new supporters need to make sure they dont alienate existing fans (because you might end up with neither), and by targeting juniors as other posters have suggested you can achieve that balance.
