2019 Crowd Watch

I stopped reading at the paywall. lol

Anyone noticed the blatant lie in the Daily Telegraph article on low union crowds? On page 48 the writer compares a rugby league crowd unfavorably to a union crowd. The issue being the rugby league crowd for the Bunnies and Tigers was 5000 more than the Union crowd on the same night. Fyi.

Was the writer expecting the Waratahs to pull more than the NRL match? lol

Has Origin sold out?

Has Origin sold out?

Which one?

 

[Springs09]

Which one?

Well I'm not Burns but I'm imagining he was talking about the first one, you know, the one next week.

 

[Burns]

Which one?

The first one. Usually this time of year there is always some sort of crisis article about tickets not selling etc.

It will be - Suncorp always fills up. I think they should have had the Sydney game first because if by some chance QLD wrap up the series in games 1 and 2 it will be a hard sell. Whereas if it was the other way around and QLD were fighting to save a whitewash at Suncorp the ground would still sell-out.

I thought I saw something the other day about 2-for-1 platinum tickets so I'm wondering if it is indeed struggling for sales.

Could be wrong though.

I disagree they can't continually have game 3 at Suncorp.

What happened to Origin games at Suncorp selling out in a day?

They hiked the prices up dramatically around 2012. Good move though from the point of view of revenue for the game. If an event is selling out too quickly it is generally a sign that you are too cheap. If there are empty seats you are generally too expensive and if you sell the last few tickets on game day you have got it just right - the latter is generally what happens these days at Suncorp for Origin.

A price shift from $150 to $350 saw the end of that. Looks good on the NRLs revenue line though.

 

[Perth Red]

Perth has around 1000 seats left according to ticketmaster seating plan.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Suncorp hasn’t had any two for one offers, but they have started selling good seats at bronze prices. Will no doubt get to 51k ish some how.

Ah I miss those days of affordable tickets and 30min sell outs.

At on sale date ticket to sit level 7 behind the post were $195 a pop.

Until they release another couple of blocks next week.

The writer was stating that the union crowd(13000) at Bankwest was greater than the Souths v Tigers crowd(18000) at ANZ stadium. Inferring that rugby league had its attendance issues with a blatant falsehood.

nah, there was platinum and gold 2 for 1offers sent to those of us that bought magic round tickets mate via email. I’m f**king livid to be honest, I seem to get f**ked on every time i get tickets for origin and swear I will never go again. I bought early bird tickets in december to sit behind the goal posts. When they bring this shit out it absolutely makes a mockery of their early bird schemes. I bought 6, I could have got far better seats for the same price by just waiting for one of these bullshit deals to hit the streets.

 

[Haffa]

$250 for Blatchy’s tickets at Suncorp. Hard to justify that cost for a non GF football match IMO anyway.

Yep with this pricing wait till week before always. Last year I got seats in 601 for $80
