Less than 500 tickets left.....except it seems they haven't opened up bay 17 to 25 for ticket sales at any point.

I don't know what those bays hold but a conservative guess would be 1,500.

Obviously the Kai Sotto effect on ticket sales is being seen.

More so the effect of tickets going for less than half price.

Attendance has been very poor so far this year.

Kai Sotto's first home game should be a superbowl filipino fiesta atmosphere in the AEC

Is Hodgson healthy? You will need him. Majok is so undersized and will get bullied against Humphries and Sotto.

Majok undersized lol

Sotto is like a foot taller than Majok.

Has it been exempted? Has there been any announcement?

Capacity should be 1 per 4 square metres. Don't know AEC Arena plus seating area - Arena floor space is 2,680 square metres. In the middle of last year, AEC was complaining about being limited to 3,670 maximum crowd n the Arena, but I don’t know what restriction rules were I place at that time.

PS - the double vaccination requirement for entry to AEC has probably affected 36ers home crowds earlier in December.

"the double vaccination requirement for entry to AEC has probably affected 36ers home crowds earlier in December."

We are at nearly 90% double vaxxed yet the first home crowd was less than 5,000.

Are you saying that the Adelaide 36ers fan base has a massive over-representation of anti vaxers compared to the general population? Why do you think that is?

75% capacity and mask rules remain for now.

So how were there only a few hundred tickets left to sell and now it's 75% capacity they are still selling tickets?

75% was the capacity before as well.

It will be barely half full. Advertising ploy to get people to buy tickets. Adelaide has shut up shop for events

Purely on a playing standpoint, who would you take out of Sotto or Hodgeson? Filipinos need not respond!

36ers by 10+. Sotto will shut down Cotton's driving game with his elite rim protection and get Law in foul trouble.

"Are you saying that the Adelaide 36ers fan base has a massive over-representation of anti vaxers compared to the general population? Why do you think that is?"

No. In early December, double gas levels were just over 80%, for 16+. So 20% pf 16+ people weren't{t double vaccinated. So reduce a 6000 crowd by 20% and you’re left with 4800. The first 36ers game was a crowd of 4700 odd.

Probably some people who were double vaccinated had 12-15 year old kids who were yet to be double vaccinated, as levels for 12-15 year olds were even lower. Some of those families may have stayed away if they couldn’t take their kids in, as well.

So, no, the fan base just had to look like the population average.

Humphries is cooked. Sotto is the rim protector that Adelaide are desperate for. Expect a breakout game for the Kaiju that will see him rise up the Mock draft boards.

Only 1000 tics left as Kelly has given remainder to politicians

See,s strange 6ers are advertising that only 1,000 tics left, yep they are selling them at half price!

36ers crowds have been terrible this year. New management have no idea.

Lower crowds have everything to do with this team being a steaming pile of manure and the last of the fan favs in Jack McVeigh exiting.

#880881, great explanation.

Still think there's more going on than that. 36ers only had 3 games of 6,000 fans or less last season, despite all last year's interruptions to the schedule and the overlap with AFL season.

Think there's more to the lower crowds than vaccination rates.

6ers definitely on the nose locally. Bizarre way crowd favourite Jack McVeigh was excited hasn't helped.

#880889 - yes, I agree. The vaccination requirement would only be part of the reason. Interesting that Perth crowds have been good. Do they have any entry restrictions there yet?

The NBL has made changes to the schedule in line with its COVID health and safety protocols and respective state government requirements.

The following games have been postponed:
- Adelaide vs Perth, Dec 28
- Brisbane vs Perth, Jan 1
- Adelaide vs South East Melbourne, Jan 2

#NBL22

Can't be Sotto who's got it, guy couldn't catch anything!

Only 6000 tix left! Too early? :)
