See those prices spike big time!

South Australians voted not to have a new basketball stadium, did they not? Apparently it was that or ramping.

How's that ramping going?

People seem to have a 'cant walk and chew gum' mindset. It's like if we build a basketball stadium (and it wasnt just a basketball stadium it was an all purpose stadium), how can we possibly fix ramping?

This was a Malinauskas tactic and I get the feeling he doesnt respect the sport by his constant use of the phrase "basketball stadium" and minimizing it again and again.

Still waiting for my renewal ,late than usual this year ,some of current members waiting for their membership to come through email .

What ever happened to the sight line issues?

Of only had city based venue. Magnificent problem and exciting building for coming season. So much for the gloom and doom last year and all the negativity about everything. Full the currant venue to create evident based for better bigger future proof for growth venue. Sixers are rolling.

I've often wondered what sort of crowd they could get for a top game - 14-15,000 would be IMO.

The new stadium / entertainment complex became a scapegoat for politics - we all know new buildings / infrastructure is what the state needs in it's economy - and it keeps the workers thriving.

Unfortunately it was weighed up against a better public health system - which was always going to win.

It's a good night out game day and most enjoy it.

Maybe if we could get a few more in - we'd also get some better concerts.

It sells out for concerts on the reg, last month both The Offspring and Gracie Abrams shows sold out and later this month all four of Katy Perry's shows there have sold out too.

But a number of artists that need to play a larger venue than that, but Adelaide Oval is too big for them, bypass Adelaide because there is nothing in between. Big difference in financials between a venue that holds 8.5k for concerts and an Oval that needs 30k+ to be viable. It's why Metallica were going to skip Adelaide on their last tour but once rescheduled then included Adelaide Oval.

I think the 36ers sold out every home game last season, no doubt will this season too so now it's probably starting to look like a bigger home court is needed.

I've been a 7 game member the last 4 years and haven't heard boo about my renewal, so I can only assume I got dumped for a full 14 game membership being offered to someone else.

Doubt I'll get to a game next year if that's the case.

As an existing member I'm expecting there will be a big price jump this season. I haven't heard anything about renewal as of yet, assuming everyone else is in the same boat?

rodman's hair - yes like taxes and death - inflation a guarantee.

Rodman hair yes I'm still waiting for membership renewal ,your not the only one ,hope it’s this week or next .Predict a price rise

Yeah we're all waiting for our renewal. I contacted the club and they said they were waiting on the NBL for dates or something but I'm pretty sure my first instalment of my membership was June last year so it's interesting it's taking longer this year.

Expecting a price rise which is a real shame but I'm excited for the season ahead provided nothing changes re seats etc.

Spoke to club yesterday as was looking to change to disable access seats which was told there are none left to swap to , so I'll be walking down to court side again with replacement knees :( ,

they told me memberships come out today or Friday , hold iwas due to Nbl and possibility of extra games for some type of In season thing ?

They said all full member and 7 game members will get priority access to there Seats , they didn’t tell me the price but indicated a small increase but less than other clubs have done this season

Sorry should say "hold up due to Nbl" and membership details released today or Wednesday

I just logged into my account and new pricing is up, I sit in gold and it seems my family of 4 ticket has gone up $300 to $1855 but you get 2 extra games, so not so bad

Gold Plus up about $150 per ticket. I call it the Cotton tax

SixersFan, you are also getting an additional 2 games. I wonder how much other clubs memberships are going up

I'm up to $200 odd for my 7 games, so like $30 for the nosebleeds which isn't too bad. I don't mind the view up there, so happy enough with that deal.

I am signing up for the first time in 10 years for season membership but no gold available so had to go with the 17 game General Admission membership but the terms of it seem a bit weird in that you have to pre-book your seats and you can potentially miss out. It's like you paid for all the games but unless you're on the ball you may not actually get them. Has anyone done the General Admission membership before and can tell me what it's like?

ME - I have a 7 game GA membership, you can book the tickets whenever you want. So you could potentially miss out if you tried to book at the last minute, because they may have sold all the GA tickets, but you'll get first dibs to pick seats for tickets before they're sold to the general public. At a certain date before the season starts they send you an email saying you can book tickets, so just go through each game, grab your seats and you'll be fine.

Memorial Drive needs to be updated to 12,000-15,000 seats with a retractable roof. Multipurpose for tennis, basketball, concerts, etc. Entertainment Centre knocked down and turned into low cost housing for SA citizens.

Oh, and concerts not happening has absolutely nothing to do with venues. It's all to do with metrics from Spotify, etc, showing that there’s no fan base to fill the necessary seats, plus the venues not being owned by Live Nation means their shows are less profitable for their monopoly.

The only venue Live Nation own in Adelaide is the Hindley Street Music Hall. I reckon it's by far their smallest venue in Australia.

If a touring act is signed with the Live Nation touring company and they are too big for that particular venue then they usually just give Adelaide the flick.
Their business model is their ticketing services
and their venues
for their touring acts.

Looking at 2 x 7 game memberships. How strict are they at the AEC entrance when scanning tickets? Want to get 1 adult and 1 junior (up to 17 yrs) but there may be times when a kid can't go and an adult would use the ticket. Do they ping you at the door and make you upgrade at box office? If so, will just buy 2 adults to save the hassle.

Woundedbull, the sound is different when scanning adult and child tickets.

I have never been picked up when adult uses child, but it only happened very rarely. My attitude would be to upgrade if it was ever queried, but it's probably too much hassle for them TBH

Do they have interstate memberships?

Asking for a friend.
