Planning your Kings day?

Children aged 4 and above need a ticket. Under 4s can sit on a parent's lap at no cost.

For each adult ticket you buy, a junior ticket can be added for $0.00. Add both to your cart on Ticketek and the junior ticket price drops to zero at checkout.

It applies to every Sydney Kings home game across the school holiday period.

About two hours from tip-off, including the breaks between quarters and half-time. Add the 60 to 90 minutes we recommend arriving early and you are looking at a three to three and a half hour outing.

You are free to leave whenever you need to. Plenty of families with younger kids head off during the last quarter.

Afterpay Arena is fully indoors and climate controlled, so the game goes ahead whatever the weather is doing outside. It is one of the few school holiday activities that does not need a backup plan.

There is a lot happening beyond the court. Music, mascots, on-court competitions between quarters, foyer activations before tip-off and food and drink outlets throughout the arena. The breaks are short and the entertainment is built for families.

We recommend 60 to 90 minutes before tip-off for the full experience. There are foyer activations and pre-tip entertainment on court.
