2025 Crowd Watch

Can somebody explain to me what PAX is.

A unique number associated with your ticket. As it is a unique number, generally can be a good indication of the number of tickets printed for a game.

A pacsimile machine is an antiquated device used to count spectators at football games in the 80s

 

[Warriors Fever]

Sharks should sell out. Considering the quality of game and we should bring some fans. I’m stoked I can watch my team two weeks in a row.

So if PAX is at 55k then they have sold 55k tickets?

 

[Wb1234]

That filled up late (Melb)

Looked 10k at kick off

Yeah, I can imagine the dragons and bulldogs having a good fan base in and around Brisbane.

Dragons have large fans all over Australia due to the 55 to 66 diaspora

I have a friend who works for Ticketek and they asked me to pass on this message as there is a huge misunderstanding re what a PAX number actually is.

I quote "Its a numerical representation of the barcode, its basically something the human eye can recognise and if we type it into the ticketing system it gives us various info about the barcode used mainly on event days to see if a barcode has been used, to stop people copying one ticket and it working over and over again etc
Its very technical but has nothing at all to do with the number of tickets sold!"

I wouldn’t go putting any money on it.

whats the capacity of that outdoor toilet these days, 14k-15k?

any other club would have sold out long ago.

Generally a PAX number indicates the number of tickets that have been printed for a match, so it will include ticket purchasers + any freebies printed and often club members (though that can change on a club by club / ground by ground basis). For Accor Stadium, it won't include Accor Stadium members and it won't include all corporates who have entitlements at the ground. Any part-game Bulldogs members who haven't yet redeemed their ticket won't be counted either and won't be until they redeem their benefit.

As such, if the game was played today, a crowd above 60K would be a realistic result.

15,000 is the legal capacity at the moment. 14,320 is the highest crowd they've announced this year.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Broncos vs Titans is about 1650ish away from a sell out. 150 on ticketek, and 1500 unreleased restricted view. Corporates sold well too.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Pax 56668 for Monday

 

[Cumberland Throw]

23400 ticket transactions for Monday average of 2.4 tickets per transaction

 

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

Just got 3 more tickets in 629 for a mate

Pax 56750

Kinda bummed my seats two bays over are ass

This is the last pax update I can find for Good Friday (taken from the day before the game).

So in a like for like comparison of pax, King's Birthday is about a day ahead of Good Friday (56,668 vs 56,750) in ticket sales, which it needs to be if we are going to break the record, as there are some unique factors that drive up Good Friday attendance:
- Reciprocal access for South Sydney members on Good Friday, not extended to Parramatta members on King's Birthday
- Royal Easter Show always contributes to strong walk-up demand at Accor, strongest walk-up demand of the year

Yeh, not sure this game will break the record but will get close. Still two days to go.
Weather should be ok, so that's a positive.

Yeah, the latest pax updates this far out from kickoff effectively confirm this will be the second 60k+ regular season crowd this year.

Anything from here on in is a bonus.

 

[yobbo84]

PAX is actually just shorthand for "Passengers" in aviation-speak which is where the term originates

 

[yakstorm]

Standing tickets are now on sale at Canberra Stadium for Raiders v Rabbitohs. Be less than 100 seats left at the venue (mainly single seats as well).

 

[Jonty]

15,000 is the legal capacity at the moment. 14,320 is the highest crowd they've announced this year.

And still not sold out I believe.

 

[Jonty]

So smashing the aggregate attendance record is on again?
