Memberships maxed out as Adelaide hype builds

Adelaide 36ers fans can feel the momentum building in the City of Churches, with the club officially selling out of game access memberships for the upcoming Hungry Jack’s NBL26 Season.

It’s a remarkable milestone, achieved with more than six weeks still to go before the season begins.

The buzz follows a string of high-profile additions to the roster, headlined by Bryce Cotton and Zylan Cheatham, along with the much-anticipated return of crowd favourite Montrezl Harrell.

“We are now sold out of game access memberships. That’s more than 7,500 ticketed members, which is a record for our club and talks to the passion and loyalty of our supporters,” Adelaide CEO Nic Barbato said in a letter to fans.

Following last season's Play-In exit, anticipation is building around a reloaded and ambitious 36ers lineup heading into NBL26.

“Our Head Coach Mike Wells and General Manager of Basketball Operations Matt Weston have set about building the support staff and playing roster that we believe is capable of winning Championships,” Barbato said.

“We’ve welcomed the league’s greatest ever import Bryce Cotton on a three-year deal and completed our import quota with the exciting Montrezl Harrell and Zylan Cheatham. Around them we’ve brought in a host of new faces with NBL experience including Isaac White, Michael Harris, Flynn Cameron, and Matt Kenyon.

“We’re sure that along with DJ Vasiljevic, Isaac Humphries, Keanu Rasmussen and Ben Griscti, we have a squad capable of beating any side in the NBL.”

The 36ers tip off their campaign with a Blitz matchup against Illawarra on August 27.
