The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

[Iamback]

Whats the increase? A lot more than previous years increases?
Its not like Roosters are paying $400k a game rent I would guess, or are you suggesting Roosters would be more profitable playing at a18k max suburban ground with a 1/4 the corporate seats available instead of at the new stadium??

The members seating tells the story.

Silver seating is where the bronze was.

I think 18k break even is too high. 14k is probably closer to the mark

Take someone like Roosters v Titans on a Sat.

It will draw maybe 12k and won't fill the corporates.

yet is perfect as a game moved to Gosford

Which only goes to back up my point that the only people taking games to areas willing to pay for them are ones who cant draw a decent crowd from their own fanbase or sell enough corporate seats.

then they spoil it with that bumbling monstrosity

It’s not a proper home and away crowd just 45k of each sides fans which is ok for a neutral venue during finals but pathetic for a normal match.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

30,371 at Suncorp. Great Thursday night crowd

 

[Billythekid]

Damn Broncos with 2 great crowds in a row only to dish up that shit. After paying those prices there must be a lot of unhappy fans right now.

Have they sold out AAMI Park yet? I heard tickets were down to $8

A shitload of seats left on the interactive map. Might end up with 18-21k though.

No AFL on, pretty disappointing TBH. Especially after their 40,000 membership announcement. But I’m sure the vast majority of those are sticker based and purchased to guarantee access to last minute GF release.

Yep

Looks like Storm have gone full souths with their "membership" numbers.

Until clubs report on fully ticketed numbers don’t expect any correlation between memberships and crowds.

Just dead people and Pets to go

The NRL is the premier sporting league in this country based on ratings, social media numbers and engagement. Every single home and away game should sell out in my opinion.

The whole membership/season ticket thing is a stupid gimmick that leads to empty seats at "sold out" games. Fill the stands like they do in the EPL, we should be striving for nothing less.

Collingwood v Carlton was 90k plus at the G, now thats a real crowd

And amazing atmosphere. The crowd noise was deafening

 

[morley101]

Looks to be around 25k tonight in Melbourne. GA sold out, Cat 3 single seats.

TBH I’ve found the MCG atmosphere to be overrated. You’re pretty far from the other side of the crowd, and it doesn’t have the same noise containers that a place like Suncorp (or even Eden Park) have. The MCC members are also the most pompous, silent gronks found at Australian sporting venues.

I’ve been to two grand finals and two all Victorian prelims there too. And while the atmosphere was good, they ain’t got shit on the Broncos 2015 prelim at suncorp, any origin game three at suncorp or an all Sydney NRL GF at Homebush.

 

[westerntiger]

Never been to AAMI Park but the atmosphere there when it’s 25k+ looks electric

 

[Futura1966]

Have they sold out AAMI Park yet? I heard tickets were down to $8

You are talking shit $8 tickets. I have been looking now tickets are $50 to $180 and not many left.

GA tickets were $8 yesterday but have now been exhausted.

Australians cannot provide an amazing crowd atmosphere even in large numbers. In any code. Anyone who's been to a stadium in Europe or South America knows what a truly amazing atmosphere is.

 

[westerntiger]

Ten minutes before kickoff and the crowd in the grandstand at Penrith looks pretty sparse. When will they hurry up and give this abysmal 6pm Friday game the chop?

 

[westerntiger]

I stand corrected the crowd is now not too bad. Props to the Panthers fans.
