Basketball fans have been told time is running out if they want to secure cut-price season tickets.

Early-bird prices on Genesis Brighton Bears tickets for next season will be available until tomorrow evening.

Adults pay £200, children £125 and families £575 if they purchase by the end of March.

Prices then rise to £250, £150 and £675 respectively.

Season tickets give access to the best stand seats in the house, which go for £15 apiece on game nights.

They can be bought online at brightonbears.com or via the ticketline on (01273) 697400.

One fan could walk away with £14,000 as Bears play at the Brighton Centre for the final time this season.

That is the jackpot in the Genesis Big Cash Basket, in which fans get the chance to shoot from the halfway line for a prize.

The kitty has been building with every game and spectators get their chance to go for the big one at the end of the third quarter tomorrow as Bears host Sheffield Sharks.

Contestants enter a draw by tearing off the slip from the back of the match programme and could then be called out to try their luck.

The game coincides with the 20th anniversary of sponsors Genesis, whose boss Doug Currie said: "It will be a night to remember."

Ronnie Baker is due to return to the Bears team after helping England win a Commonwealth Games bronze in Melbourne.

Stand-in coach Phil Waghorn has praised the man signed in his absence, Danny Midgley.

Midgley, who is on board for the rest of the season, contributed at either end of the floor at Milton Keynes on Sunday.

Waghorn said: "So far when he has come on he has done a good job for us in terms of not giving the ball away, taking good shots and playing defence."
