Perth Stadium To Charge A$6,000 Per Year For 'Greatest Experience In Sport'

Fans in Western Australia "are set to fork out a whopping" A$30,000 ($23,000) to secure tickets to "almost every event held at the new Perth Stadium," according to Joey Catanzaro of THE WEST AUSTRALIAN. The "prestigious Bankwest Club tickets last for five years and are a rare opportunity to buy a personal seat for a range of events," including concerts and sporting events. But there are "only" 1,385 seats available when they go on sale on Nov. 13. Perth Stadium CEO Mike McKenna said, "What you're going to get if you buy one of these seats is the greatest experience in sport and entertainment in Perth. You'll get every event at the stadium." The seat itself costs A$6,000 ($4,600) per year, "but owners must commit to a five-year deal" -- taking the total cost to A$30,000. The ticket comes with "exclusive access to a members-only bar, automatic membership to both the Eagles and Dockers, membership rights with the Perth Scorchers and more" (THE WEST AUSTRALIAN, 11/5).
