36ers Season Ticket Prices Increase

No offence but if you get sent a letter from a company stating a price, drive all the way down there with cash in hand and are then told it's $100 more, I would be pissed too.
And when you are buying a family ticket, you OBVIOUSLY have a family and therefore are probably on somewhat of a budget these days, another hundred dollars can be too much for a family and it becomes a matter of principal.
And as a club who has been sitting on the bottom or second to bottom for 3 years, I would be doing whatever I can to get bums on seats.
When was the last sell out...when Brett Maher retired.
Poor sales if you ask me.
You turn away a family because YOU stuffed up and you are asking for trouble.
You also lose money every night from car parking, food, drinks, merchandise as well as potentially having empty seats. This seen on National TV isn't going to help with sponsors, it's a snow ball effect.

Anon - Spot on, I don't pay. But I still have family and friends that do.

I just did a quick scan of all the teams memberships packs
I just checked what the family ticket (2x2) prices would be for two options.

Along the court, 15 rows back and the cheapest possible family ticket.

Adelaide - $795 and $645
Gold Coast - Not listed on their website.
Cairns - $2600 and $650
Melbourne - $1164 & $1020
New Zealand $830 ($650AUD) & $499 ($390AUD) However, the first option is sold out for games at North Shore.
Perth $1649 & $956
Sydney $1260 & $850
Townsville $1960 & $434
Woolongong $1190 & 715

Still cheaper than nearly every other club, if not all.

The bad thing is this guy is a former NBL player and this kind of treatment will spread through a lot of clubs when he spreads the word!
Bad publicity...

Gold Members Package, but there was nothing in that email stating that there was a misprint and they apologise that they are charging $795.
Just stated to go to the website, which is meant to be impossible to use!
And if it is a MISPRINT, why the hell would you leave a display on the counter with that incorrect price on it???
Yeah I told my mate to go to the Ombudsman to see what they will do about it.

Are you talking about a gold member 2 adults, 2 children family ticket?

If so, there was an email sent to their mailing list on 15 June, with the subject "36ERS - LAST CHANCE to renew your membership, 36ers vs Nicholls Colonels - 25/06/12?"

In this email, there is a link to ticket renewals. I can't get to existing member ticket renewals (as I'm not a member any longer), however if you click the link for 'new' members, choose Gold membership, the listed price for 2 adults 2 children is indeed $795.

So, either 1 of 2 things is occurring:

a) The renewal letter that was sent by post, that says $695, was indeed a misprint - however that's their problem, if they offered it to you at that price and you accept, they are bound to honour it. Make enough phone calls, threaten to call in the big guns, go on a rant about "offer and acceptance" relates to contract law etc.

b) the person was just ass backwards, and thought you wanted a new membership.

If they advertise as a certain price and it's incorrect they have to fix that ASAP. And either stop all sales until they have fixed it or honor the mistaken price.

If i was you i'd be calling/emailing someone about that.

My family tickets that I've had for 10 years were upgraded from silver seats to gold this year, meaning an extra $150. Sucks.

Looks like Ninny's got girl germs!

Vince Marino, the owner of the Link Lightning WNBL team, is pleased to confirm that Scott Ninnis will join the Lightning coaching team of Chris Lucas (Head Coach) and Marcus Wong (Assistant Coach) for the 2007/2008 season, which commences in Perth on Saturday, 6 October.

Full announcement

He replaces John Gillies who is stepping down due to increased work commitments.

Boti has something on the announcement also:

"I've never coached women before and to be honest, I was quite shocked to be asked," [Ninnis] said last night .

An old quote: "I'd rather be hitting myself in the head with a hammer than watching women's basketball" springs to mind.

"I'm not sure that's exactly what I said but you mellow with time," Ninnis said.
