2018 Crowd Watch

[Danish]

It was easily more roosters fans as per usual at the SFS. Concourse was 50/50 but members and corporates was clearly and obviously more roosters.

You’d need to pool a lot of Centrelink cheques to reserve a corporate box, to be fair

Cool, although I consider the southern end closer to the station although the map say otherwise, my sense of direction is terrible sometimes, lol but happy the Roosters are at the same end as the Manly Grand Final.

The eastern side (opposite to players tunnell) is the station side .

No worries, You can pay me in virtual beer!

Cheers mate, it was very much appreciated.

 

[horrie hastings]

Cant check my pax as I opted for print at home tickets and it is saying the details will be sent, have the confirmation so happy about that.

Pax was 58,960 at 12.54 pm, sorry I was in hurry to get to work after getting the tickets, I didn’t have time to check them out properly.

Yep he is right, I just checked it out, bronze $60 for an adult ticket.

 

[horrie hastings]

Section 412, ticktets $60 with the tryline code, no code they are $90.

Can't buy more than 3 tickets in the Storms fans Section but you can buy up to 8 in the Roosters section...might just be ticketek doing it's thing though.

Just tried 8 in the Roosters section and it couldn't accommodate, cut it down to 6 same thing, could get 4 though. Yesterday it was saying only single seats, go figure, bloody ticketek. Still happy with the seats I got which are just to the side of the Roosters bays.

i said it earlier in the thread....not all tickets are available. ticketek release a certain number of seats for each category. once they're exhausted or close to exhausted, they release more. i'm assuming it's because their shit servers can't handle the load. the only other reason i can think of for the strategy is to minimise scalping. can't think of any other that would be benefiting the sale of tickets. if folks log in to buy tix and can't find any, do you think they're going to try again later in the week? like most in this thread, they're going to think that there aren't many left and not bother.

mate, the venue runs north-south and the station is directly east of the stadium. any difference between the distance of the northern and southern ends from the station is literally in the tens of metres.

the roosters support are at the northern end - generally considered the home end. the players tunnel (as can be seen here between bays 130 & 131) in a north-south oriented stadium are generally on the western side.

you're welcome

I bought 5 in the Roosters ticketed section last night. PAX was 62,624.

My god they are expensive. Ring hasn't stop puckering since.

I thought everyone was minted in the eastern suburbs?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Very jelly of the fans buying tickets to watch their team in the grand final.

I can envision doing the same in about 2097 when I'm 140 years old.

 

[BlueandGold]

Finals burnout or fan complacency might explain the tickets sales.

Cool, I just get directionally challenged when I’m out there,it’s like being in the Bermuda Triangle.

 

[Timmah]

Every year people panic the GF isn't sold out until a few days before, and every year it caps out 80k+ with last year's two out of town teams being the exception.
