Crazy John’s South Dragons’ officials are expecting a loud and passionate crowd for Saturday night’s crucial game with the New Zealand Breakers.
The game will be played at Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre (MSAC), Aughtie Drive, Albert Park (Melways 2K, D8).
Pre-sales of tickets have been strong, but a certain number have been allocated for walkups, so there should be some available.
The ticket office opens at 5 pm, with doors opening at 6 pm. Tipoff is 7:30 pm.
Tickets are priced at $24.50 for adults, $15 for concession, $12 for children 16 years and younger, and $59 for a family, which is 2 adults and 2 children.
All tickets are General Admission.
There is plenty of inexpensive parking, both at MSAC and in the lot next to Bob Jane Stadium.
As for the game itself, both the Dragons and Breakers are looking to stop two-game losing streaks. The Dragons are also trying to turn around poor shooting form, which has seen them convert just 11 of 56 three-point shots in the past two games.
The Breakers have been without injured point guard C.J. Bruton for the past two games, but he is expected to travel with the team and may see some playing time.
