2019 Crowd Watch

Just went to get a single ticket Parra v Sea Eagles. $50 for bronze.
The NRL is having itself on.

NRL only sets ticket prices for finals and GF.

The fact that it is almost sold out suggests Parra have the pricing structure correct.

Well Parramatta then. The NRL should step in and explain that that is outrageous.

GA (30-35 adult) is the cheapest category, but it's sold out. So Bronze is currently the cheapest - $45 seems about right. Silver is 55, Gold 75.

Seems fairly right to me, not sure what the issue is.

Good point. The other thing to factor in though is you want the person to come back the next week.

Leichhardt was similar - price went up as tickets became scarce.

Economics 101 - supply and demand. High demand, low supply = higher price

Their crowds at Parramatta this year suggests they have been.

Parra do have a large membership base though. If they had sustained success on the field, 80-90% of that stadium will be for members.

Yeah I’ve calmed down. I always thought tickets were about $30. I guess because that’s what I thought they were worth. Now I have a better understanding of why the NRL gets crap crowds.

Looks like Storm's wk1 final will be the earlier Saturday game, and then if they win will play their prelim on Friday to avoid the AFL GF

Other teams are still undecided but it all will be released after this sundays game

As per my previous post - they generally are, but GA sold out so the cheapest available are no longer at that price point.

Tickets to ANZ should be about $2 then.

You already said that.

 

[Timmah]

You already said that.

And the post of yours I quoted seemed to ignore that fact. Entry-level (usually GA) NRL tickets generally are about $30 - sometimes a touch more, sometimes a touch less.

That’s the third time you said that.

Got ticket at ground for $35. Pretty good. Will be sub 18k here tonight.

You can get GA tickets online now and a few extra bays are available from earlier.

Geez, that old trick of releasing late tickets.
It never f**king works.

Geez, it's a wild night out there tonight.
Winds are howling, and it's about to turn cold too.
Might turn a few off.

More like 26k

The winds are significant out west. 100 km/h wind gust recorded at Penrith a short time ago.

If you bought earlier this week pricing would have been normal but just like any event that starts to sell and as tickets get scarce prices go up.
