Do you have any sales figures for origin?
Just checked out game 1 at anz and its $72 for bronze seating, not sure if they provide oxygen tanks and binoculars for the highest seats
But seriously at that price in those seats, no thank you.
Also noticed that again suncorp is not sold out yet, HQ have really priced a lot of people out of attending and obviously others hold off umtil the inevitbale last minute desperate move to slash prices to get a near sellout at either of the grounds
I don't have any actual figures no, but I have been tracking how its going, not really ANZ though - but I did see a few articles about how ANZ in particular was struggling.
Game 1, at ANZ stadium on May 27, has sold just over 10,000 tickets, with the new pricing obviously hindering fans from attending the game.

Suncorp isn't going too poorly, essentially the entire top tier has sold apart from a couple of blatchy blues bays. Middle tier is relatively sold too, again, with the exception of the "blue zone" - NSW fans have been given 3,000 seats to add to the atmosphere.
I would like to see the amount of Maroon Members we have had sign on, I think it would be at lest 8,000.
Category one and two there are a few thousand left - in 604, 638 and 639. Maybe a handful in 640.
Category two there are seats down in the lower bowl - I would assume about 2,000 dispersed throughout 313, 312, 330 - more will come on sale that have not been sold as Maroon Memberships.
In Melbourne the Maroon Crusade has sold like hot cakes and extra bays had been allocated in the upper stand. A mate that works at the MCG told me that for every 1 NSW purchasing address there have been 8 in Queensland.
I have noticed a fair bit of conversation on the Suncorp Stadium/ Queensland facebook page about people ditching the Suncorp Origin for a trip to Melbourne. Cannot blame them.
