im with you one this on,

i would like to know it me sound simplistic but i need to know at least pricing for budgeting purposes,
i dont want to find out i need X amount of money and have only 1 month to pay it

EC - they're proofing and then printing the brochures.

Thomo - similar to last year.

Tickets better be reduced by 15% as that is the amount of game time now gone.

Yeah, I'm sure that will happen /sarcasm

Hi Everyone
just dotting the i's and crossing the t's as we speak.
we should have something up on the website in the next 2 days

I'm REALLY not a fan of 40 minute games. That decision will never make sense to me.

/offtopic

Are we keeping our seats, or have we lost the last 10 years of support?

Already mentioned previously, but your seat information has been retained.

Plus less games, tickets should be a hell of a lot cheaper then last year.

If you go see transformers 2 and it goes for 20 minutes less do you ask for cheaper tickets??

I hate the fact that it is only 40 minute games just as much as everyone else but that wasn't the choice of the Sixers.

On the plus side because there is less minutes so players will play more harder so hopefully this produces more exciting basketball. The only negative is that we wont get to see younger players playing any significant minutes which is always refreshing to watch.

My guess is price will remain the same which ill be happy to pay for. However, if next season the minutes go up again and the players remain on the same pay and the tickets go up in price ill be annoyed then.

I'm just happy we have a team and its looking like a competitive one. So we can all be greatful for that.

Well said KJ. Hate the shorter version as well but good to have a NBL still.

I get really annoyed with people complaining about seats price and product. Two months ago we didn't have a team. I am just so happy to be able to go see my team and don't care were it is at where I am sitting and am even happy to pay a bit more to make sure the team survives for another 25 years

I agree with KJ etc. It seems people just need to create negative topics sometimes, whats with that?! Like Big Sexy said, 2 months ago, we DID NOT HAVE A TEAM! Be grateful, and get loud on game nights, and get ready to support a playoff bound team.

thanks for the update, lookforward to renewing my seats and adding a extra one to the group,

so what if its 8 minutes a game left, ill be there come rain hail or shine

Less minutes so players will play harder?? Do you truly believe that KingJames??

Not the sixers fault but I agree with most I think it is a mistake to reduce the game time and give suppoters less for the entrance fee. Hopfully enough people will complain and it will revert back to 12 minute quarters next season. However still looking forward to the upcoming season.

Lockstock, presumably those who are established stats padders will want to try a bit harder!

I agree that 40 minutes sucks, mainly because we cab throw 30 seasons worth of statistical data out of the window, because we now need to start again.

Lockstock I was just saying that there is less minutes so the star players will be less tired so they will play at a higher level for longer.

I don't think stats will change all that much as the main players will still play most of the minutes they usually play. The shorter games will affect the bench and development players. That's where most of the 8 minutes will be trimmed from. Apart from that, its not just Basketball that has become a shorter game but it affects products you buy all the time. There's been media criticism lately about Mars Bars how they have become smaller in size yet the price stays the same. Some drinks have gone from a 375ml bottle or can to 330ml. I've been watching the number of sheets on toilet rolls over the years and they get smaller and smaller but you wouldn't know it because they puff the rolls up with more air. Its right across a whole range of products that get smaller but price doesn't reduce. I am happy with the shorter games as long as you get the win. The other good thing about shorter games is that you have less opportunity to lose a player through foul exhaustion. You would think with less minutes, they wouldn't rack up as many fouls.

Yeah I've been keeping my eye on those toilet paper rolls too... sneaky bastards.

KJ, I agree, but it would be fantastic if Transformers 2 was 20mins shorter, lol.
Still against the 40min games.

EC, 5 fouls per player in a 40 minute game, 6 fouls per player in a 48 minute game. Net result is same number of fouls per minute of game time, and presumably just as many people fouling out.

XY, had no idea the foul count was reducing as well. That makes it worse for star players as their minutes will probably not reduce proportionately to the reduced game time, therefore 1 less foul will make it even more difficult to stay in the game, particularly if they are foul prone.
