The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[Dark Corner]

Them ...then what a tit I'm.

ORIGIN is not only popular in Australia.
It's popular all around the World. You should see all the comments about it from people around the globe.

yes - when I was in London there would be a decent crowd watching during lunch time - at the Walkabout

 

[Vibing]

Ok lol

Ch9 said they sold 48k tickets tonight

Nein wouldn't know if their arse was on fire.

If anyone on here is interested attending tonight's game please let me know, I may have couple of tickets. But will know later this arvo.

Encouraging signs for tomorrow's Women's Origin match with the upper corner bays coming back on sale at Commbank Stadium. They wouldn't be releasing more bays if there hadn't been some movement.

Wish I wasn’t on night shift. Hope we can get one of these matches up on Newcastle, reckon we could get a big crowd.

We’ve shown we support womens sport here in Newy as well. I know Newcastle isn’t considered a big enough venue for the mens game but a packed out stadium in Newcastle would be a great look for the game IMO and the crowd would go off.

They are owed something after lockdown killed their one chance of hosting the Men's Origin.

 

[Harry O]

Ah well, no one took my offer of two free tickets for tonight's origin...

Such a missed opportunity. I know an origin in Newcastle wouldn’t make as much money as one in Sydney but the hype would be through the roof. The amount of excitement that would bring to the region would be absolutely insane.

Sometimes it does annoy me a little that we send so many games interstate to spread the game but sometimes it feels like our heartlands get forgotten. A game somewhere like Newcastle or NQLD would bring so much hype it would be just next level.

They should offer to do it say every 6 years or something like that in exchange for the NSW Government finishing off Hunter Stadium.

If only the FFA had won that football world cup bid eh?
Every state in Oz would have been set up with decent capacity rectangular stadiums.
In reality, it is the only way we as a country will ever get that right.

I’m a fan of the “neutral” venue but I could live with that idea. Newcastle & Townsville could host a game each once every 6-10 years in some kind of cycle with Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide & Auckland.

 

[Burns]

Hmm, not sure what expectations were but that’s a tad disappointing

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Townsville will bring a good crowd for game 2 - they've nearly sold out the lower bowl.

The upper tier is selling every second row and has a lot to go but looks promising.

Tonight’s result will definitely help move tickets for Townsville.
