The Hobart Hurricanes have been one of the standout clubs in the Big Bash League since the Twenty20 competition launched, bringing fast, flamboyant cricket to Blundstone Arena in Bellerive and building a loyal following across the state. Their purple-and-teal colours are a familiar sight each Tasmanian summer, and a night game under the lights at Bellerive is a genuine bucket-list experience for any sports fan.
Tickets for Hobart Hurricanes home matches can be purchased through the official Hurricanes website at hobarthurricanes.com.au or through Ticketek, which handles Big Bash League ticketing nationally. Prices are family-friendly, and general admission options make it easy to bring a group along without breaking the budget. Membership packages are also available for supporters who want reserved seating and member-only benefits across the full home schedule each summer.
Blundstone Arena is located in Bellerive, just across the Derwent River from central Hobart. Shuttles and ferry services often operate on major match nights, and these are well worth considering given the popularity of Hurricanes games. Parking is available in the surrounding area, though arriving with time to spare is recommended. The ground has a beautiful water backdrop and an intimate feel that makes even a mid-tier seat feel close to the action.
Television coverage of every Big Bash League match is broadcast on Channel 7 and Fox Cricket, with streaming also available through Kayo Sports. Foxtel subscribers can access Fox Cricket for the full broadcast schedule. The Hurricanes' social media channels and website provide fixture updates, squad news and behind-the-scenes content throughout the season, which runs over the summer months from December into January and February.
The Big Bash format is deliberately designed for newcomers to cricket. Games run for roughly three hours, there are no draws, and boundaries and big hitting keep the entertainment level high throughout. Bringing the family to a Hurricanes match at Bellerive is one of the simplest ways to enjoy a warm Hobart evening while watching top-level sport in a genuinely beautiful setting.
