Where to buy

Ticketek is the NBL's official ticketing partner for the 2026 season. Start from the fixture on the NBL site. Venues may also list games on their own pages.

Derby and finals games sell out fastest.
Check the venue's bag policy before game day.

Check the label

Venue name and city are correct.
Section, row and seat numbers are shown.
Ticket type: adult, concession, child or family.
Delivery method: mobile app ticket or e-ticket.
Seller is the official partner, not an unknown site.
Booking and handling fees are listed before payment.

Common questions

When do NBL tickets go on sale?: Regular season tickets usually open a few weeks before the season. Finals open closer to the game.
Can I buy at the arena on game day?: Sometimes, if seats remain. Buying ahead online is safer.
Can I pass my ticket to a friend?: Use the transfer option in the ticketing app. Check the seller's transfer rules first.
