Basketball Australia and promoter TEG Live have hit back at the flood of criticism from fans over the Boomers-Team US game, saying the feedback had been “strongly positive”.

Hundreds of spectators complained to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on Friday about paying hundreds of dollars for blocked views of the court during the first of two games at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night.

The basketball series was already being investigated by the ACCC to see if fans had been misled into believing big-name stars would be playing after they pulled out.

“Clearly there have been some fans that feel their expectations were not met on their purchased seats,” Basketball Australia and promoter TEG Live said on Friday afternoon.
