2018 Crowd Watch

[Rooster8]

If you can't see the white 'Allianz' writing on the stadium seats, then it counts as a full house

 

[insert.pause]

dodgy crowd counting through that period? I don't have a lot of faith in reported crowd numbers for any code anymore.

When Dave Smith was ceo he apparently instituted a crackdown on inflated attendances.

 

[insert.pause]

What happened in 2009-2012 to boost crowds so positively? We had Monday nights, we had news ltd running the game, we had Gallop as CEO, we had low revenue yet our crowds hit an all time high avg and stayed there consistently over 16k for 4 years. Then 2013 we began the decline to the lows of the last two seasons. Why so good in 09-12 despite the handicaps and why the decline last few years despite what should be a much better time for the game?

I'm sure it's had nothing to do with newscorp cracking the shits over their diminished influence in running the game and their fear-mongering "Super League MkII" type headlines...

Not sure why but ticketek have changed the map for tomorrows game?

I find it annoying enough that you couldn't select your seat (or bay) for finals, now you can't tell what category is where as the whole stadium is just "reserved seating" besides supporter bays

This is a sign it’s selling poorly, Time to sell any seats as cat four.

But Category 1 seats are still available for the full price?

 

[unforgiven]

But Category 1 seats are still available for the full price?

I would guess its so you cant see where the categories cut off, as it gets to the edge of category 1 people would be more inclined to purchase category 2 tickets which in some cases may only be a couple of metres different from the category 1. If you don't know where the cutoff is you are more likely to buy the Category 1 tickets.

 

[Brutus]

No house full sign yet for Allianz?

Nine just now at the end of the NRL sports segment were just flogging $20 tickets on Ticketek if you enter '100% footy' as the code.

$20 tickets?

What kind of mug would buy tickets early?

Depends where they are located.I've got freebies many years ago in a radio comp,and ended up in the top corner.

 

[flash]

“Foxsports” another code for $20 tickets

Yeah I remember Dave Smith realised dodgy accounting was happening and put a stop to it

Despite everyone hating him I liked the Gallop years as crowds were strong from 2003 to 2009 and then after that it slowly started to go downwards and the fans on this forum dick weaving about getting a independent commission and now look whats happened.

God this is embarrassing

SHOW ME THE MONEY

Can still purchase up to 8 tickets together in Melbourne in Category 3 & 4.

Can still purchase up to 8 tickets together in Sydney in Category 2 & 3.

Excellent.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Imagine if Melbourne hadn’t had the form for the last 15 years...

 

[beave]

FMD. The scheduling for that game is a f**king disgrace.

I really dont get the ticketek system. Yesterday night category 2 was down to single seats and you couldn't purchase two tickets together. How does bay 17 magically open again?
