Hawks go retro with ticket prices

Instead of $15 nosebleeds, I would go for $20, but throw in a can of drink.

Cheap nosebleeds are the way to go IMO.

I think if you are overpricing the nosebleed seats, you are effectively missing out on/turning away on a large base of the population (University students and younger people).

Hamilton, NZ where the Cheifs Super Rugby team play is a University city (50k students in a 220k odd total population).

The "Green Zone" is littered with University Students. $10 tickets. Great times.

I don't know what regional NBL teams are centered around Universities..Wollongong? Cairns? Townsville?

Nathan,

Yep, you've hit the nail on the head. The SR broadcast deal is massive.

The domestic NZ Rugby comp (the ITM cup) secured an absolutely incredible TV deal this past season.

The ITM cup was broadcast to 130+ countries internationally. The Kiwis in Aussie loved it as every game was on Fox.

How funny is that!
Nobody watches Union that's why they are $10.....

Bad example!

More than that Macdub, SR isn't even a domestic comp, its an intercontinental champions league really (just with fixed teams). Cream of three nations. But when you don't have a rich broadcast deal, you need to get the money somewhere.

Still shows you how expensive NBL tickets are.

As I mentioned in these types of threads in the past, I can get tickets to the best domestic Rugby Union comp in the world (Super Rugby) for $10 an adult.

Absolute steal.
