Partizan NIS Belgrade announced the sale of season tickets yesterday. In hopes of attracting fans from various walks of life, ticket prices sometimes range by tens of times.

Season ticket prices range from 13,000 Serbian dinars (~€110) up to 98,000 Serbian dinars (~€830) for Premium seats. With a hospitality package included, the most expensive courtside seats go up to 470,000 Serbian dinars (~€4000). All season tickets include EuroLeague, ABA League, and Serbian Basketball League matches.

"Today we officially announced the ticket prices for the next season, and I can say that we also took care that the fans who are not in a great financial situation can buy a season ticket," the club's general manager Ostoja Mijailovic said following the announcement. "We are putting almost 6,000 tickets on sale with a price that when you divide by the number of matches, you get a little more than 300 dinars per match."

"I think we are the only basketball club in the world that is part of a sports club and has a bigger audience than a football club," the GM claimed.

Recently, Mijailovic questioned the work principles of the parent organization, claiming that with good management, all other sections of the club could live off of football's income. His comments even warranted an official response from the head of the entire organization back then.

The team's main administrative officer emphasized one additional thing - there will be no free tickets given out anymore. Even the most notorious fans of the club, the Southern stand, have agreed to pay full price for their tickets, an uncommon feat for Serbian clubs.

"I want us to achieve a record number of tickets sold, we will all be very happy if we sell over 10,000 subscription tickets. I believe we can come to that number and thus break the record in the EuroLeague this season," Mijailovic shared.

Notably, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv recently announced selling out all 10,000 season tickets ahead of the season.
