After the end of the Greek league which saw Panathinaikos re-establishing their domestic dominance, HEBA, the Greek Professional Clubs Association, published the statistics regarding the 2008/09 season ticket sales for all 14 teams of the Greek A1 League. The ticket sales have risen an overall of 16.5% since last year. The top 3 clubs in ticket sales, as expected were Panathinaikos, Olympiacos and Aris.
