2015 Crowd Watch part II

[undertaker]

I predict more in Melbourne. Victoria the home of rugby league lol.

ummmmm....no

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Hahaha for real???

Still diamond seats available in row 30 in 4

Yep. Public humiliation haha.

So have nrl learned np to to try and charge $200 a ticket in Sydney? If they had problems shifting them this year no one is buying next year until discounted.

Given everyone now knows of the NRL's origin pricing strategy, they would have to be stupid to try and pull the same thing next year, again

80,122 official crowd, apparently second highest game 1 crowd ever

 

[some11]

Bloody good effort, hopefully the TV ratings back it up.

The NRL somewhat redeemed themselves. I thought there was some really excellent marketing of the 2 for $100 ticket schemes. Framing is really important and making it out as though the deal was "strictly limited" helped. Saw it all over facebook every single day from a variety of sources

If the Dragons win again this weekend, it will be disappointing if the crowd is less than 30K for their game v the Dogs on Queen's Bday Monday.

But the daily telegraph told me that there would be 20000 empty seats!

Before the $50 ticket slash?

A new release of MCG tickets have gone on sale, across all categories.

Told people there would be a late release of tickets.

They wouldn't listen;-)

80k but sounded like 1k, useless atmosphere of old grannies,no wonder these NSW dopes can't get inspired with a crowd full of Wazns

A tennis umpire would have been very happy with last nights crowd.

Suity

Really? No atmosphere at all with 80K?

I thought you were there too Guyver? It was pretty quiet in the second half.

 

[Timmah]

Dunno what game you guys were at. Atmosphere lifted several times throughout the night. Only really deflated after Dugan missed the last FG attempt.

Nah mate, I stayed in this year. First time in about 7 years.

Wasn't going to pay $200+ for good seats & by the time they started discounting them to $50 I'd already made plans & invited mates over to mine.
