Wildcats owner slashes playoff ticket prices for 'sixth man' Red Army

Tickets go on sale for the general public at 11am on Friday via Ticketek and on average are about 11 per cent cheaper than regular season and six per cent cheaper than last season’s semi-final series against Tasmania JackJumpers.

Members who took advantage of the pre-sale period secured even bigger savings.

The March 1 match will be the Wildcats’ first game at RAC Arena since the final game of the home-and-away season against Adelaide 36ers on Friday 7 February after the club was forced to play their seeding qualifier against SEM Phoenix at the smaller Perth HPC due to a scheduling clash.

The Red Army tallied nearly 52,500 attendees in the final four games of the regular season, including a season-high 13,570 fans against the 36ers on January 17 and two other games of more than 13,000.

“The Red Army is like a sixth man to us and we want to see RAC Arena packed on Saturday, March 1st as we host arch-rivals Melbourne United in a crucial playoff clash,” Arena said.

“We want our fans to take advantage of the reduced ticket prices as we make our long-awaited return to RAC Arena for the first time in nearly a month.

“The atmosphere at RAC Arena is like no other in the NBL and we’re excited to welcome our fans back as we make things as hostile as possible for Melbourne United.

“We’ve got an excellent home record of 10-5 in NBL25 and our fans are a big reason behind that.”
