Can someone tell me how do I get the PAX number for any sport?

Chanel V has gold coast suns and giants adds all over it.
I can't work out why. ?
They seem to be preaching. To the un converted.
What a dumb idea. Gotta fish where the fish are NRL has always be told me
It's hard to put a finger on exactly why fans are staying home.
1. Too many night games? well the daytime games have hardly been busting the gates down
2. Too expensive. Probably, it is silly to think a casual fan will rock up on the day and fork out $45. Having said that there are plenty of cheap ticket offers on that don't seem to be making much difference to crowd sizes
3. Stadia facilities. yes and no again. Sure no one want to sit or stand in the rain and taking the kids along to a ground with poor toilets and crappy expensive food is not enticing anyone. However even we have decent facilities the crowds are hardly booming
4. Over saturation. Maybe in Sydney but doesn't explain one team cities low crowds.
5. Low memberships. Well they are increasingly well but with little knock on effect in crowds.
So what is the problem? probably no one thing but a combination of many.
I must admit the reliance on the video ref is turning me off the game. For the first time in years this weekend I didn't sit through most games, I picked 3 that I liked the look of where normally I'd veg out and watch them all. if they are losing a die hard like me then no surprise the more casual fan is turning away.
With the amount of sponsored posts the NRL has on Facebook for Origin 1 they should have just started off with $50 tickets.....
The amount of free tickets being given out by media outlets is just plain embarrassing. The NRL are just a greedy bunch of merkins.
They f**ked up right from the start.

Also, the rise in ticket prices and NRL fans rejecting them shows how much Origin is truly worth to them. So much for premium price for premium product it what the NRL was aiming for but it failed badly.
West Tigers/Cowboys will be a t Campbelltown suburban ground just like last year's disgraceful 7k on a Saturday. GWS level crowd in West Sydney 'heartland'.
AFL troll is obvious troll.

I keep harping on about it but if you give people a POOR match day experience, crowds will be poor. Fact is families and individuals are more careful with where their money goes, so to get them to spend that money they have to get something they won't get at the pub or home.
Some obvious issues
1. Where is the gameday experience? Give fans some entertainment.
2. Halftime breaks limited to 10 minutes.
3. Start the game on time. 7:40 means 7:40 not 7:50.
4. Memberships have to be structured better.
The first 3 points are absolutely simple. Halftime entertainment is easy and the other two are so easy it isn't funny.
Pax for origin one looks to be around 50k now.
GOOD POST...
Sometimes we fail to see that if we take fans such as us out of the equation who just love plain footy the average person looks for "value for money" & the NRL is generally pretty poor at delivering that
Still a week out from the game, would expect around 70k once they really go crazy giving tickets away.
50K, wow is that all??? Is that official?
You going to any of the games this year SLR? Remember you flew down to Sydney last year if memory serves me correctly...
20K in a week is pushing it though. That said if they drop the tickets to $40-50 only I'll consider it. I'm not paying $150-300 for a ticket though, absolute extortion.
What are you talking about man!! They have been $50 for adults for two weeks now!
