NBL Blitz Heats Up on the Gold Coast

It’s going to be a heat-up like no other when the Hungry Jack’s NBL Blitz hits the Gold Coast in September.

The tournament will showcase all the new faces, player signings and arguably the most talented group of Next Stars ever seen.

In a major win for families, the Blitz will be accessible and affordable with tickets starting from just $10 for children and $15 for adults – with each granting access to a double-header (apart from a standalone session on September 20 between Melbourne and Sydney), meaning fans can enjoy two games for the price of one.

General public tickets go on sale on Friday, July 28, on Ticketek.

“The Blitz on the Gold Coast will be the biggest and best event we’ve ever hosted in the lead-up to a season – there’s absolutely no doubt about it,” NBL CEO David Stevenson said.

“We promise to deliver world-class basketball and family-friendly entertainment, and are delighted to be staging the Blitz on the Gold Coast.”

All games will be played at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre from Saturday, September 16, until Friday, September 22. All games will be live and free on Kayo Freebies.

“We want to encourage fans to engage with all the players when they’re out in the community through a range of activations and initiatives that will be announced. With Queensland and Victoria also on school holidays, it presents a fantastic opportunity for families and children to connect with the stars of NBL,” Stevenson added.

“The City of Gold Coast and the Queensland Government have been an absolute joy to work with, and we thank them for their commitment, and look forward to delivering a fantastic event with them.”

The winning team will be awarded the Loggins-Bruton Cup, while the tournament’s most outstanding player will take home the Ray Borner Medal.
