NBL Tickets (Australian Basketball)

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.

Professional insight

Regular fans buy at presale or general on-sale. They pick seats by sightline, not just price.

  • Club members often get presale access before general sale.
  • Courtside rows sit low; mid tier shows full plays.
  • Derby and finals games sell out fastest.
  • Check the venue's bag policy before game day.

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.
