Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 3 Hansard (9 March) . . Page.. 777 ..

EVENTS

The Raiders will locate all regular season "home" competition games at Bruce Stadium unless otherwise directed by the Governing Body, as well as using their best endeavours to secure other games controlled by the Governing Body such as finals events, pre-season trials, Tests, etc.

MANAGEMENT OF THE STADIUM

The Territory intends to establish a new structure for the management of the redeveloped Stadium. This may involve.

appointment or establishment of a management body: and/or

appointment of one or more contract operators in relation to various aspects of the running of the Stadium.

The. Raiders will be invited to participate in the selection process for the Operators.

The Territory intends to establish a Monthly Operations Forum whereby representatives of the Raiders will contribute to the development of operating policies and practices for the successful, on-going efficient and effective management of the Stadium.

Upon establishment or appointment of a new management body, the Territory will be entitled to assign or novate such of rights and obligations under this agreement or the Hiring Agreement as the Territory sees fit.

RENTAL STRUCTURE

The basic rental will be structured on the basis of a minimum of 15% of the total gate. This will include all categories of ticketing (including season tickets and other pre-paid tickets) but not complimentaries.

In the case of smaller matches, the base rent of 15% will need to be set off against minimum guaranteed opening fee of say $5,000-$10,000 to ensure that the Territory does not incur costs beyond its minimum rent.

TICKETING

There would he one ticketing company contracted by the Territory for all Hirers and they would be consulted in that negotiation. A computerised box office would be required to operate on site, at remote locations and via telephone sales. All seating within the Stadium would be treated as allocated seating and there would be a minimum number of ticket categories.

The preferred arrangement would be for settlement of the gate to be made on match days by way of a preliminary calculation based on 80-90% of anticipated funds by cheque on match day to the Raiders. The balance would be settled within 7 days after final accounts have been negotiated.
