The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

Souths v Easfs pax 17628

Total season aggregate now broken.

Previous record (including finals) was 3,490,778 in 2010. We have now seen 3,524,098 through the gates.

4 million for the year seems to be a red hot chance.

Great crowds across the board!!

Allianz 2.0 is clearly a success.

9 regular season NRL games at the venue in its first year for an average attendance of 23,841, compared with 11 regular season NRL games at Allianz 1.0 in its last year (2018) for an average attendance of 15,682. That's an increase of 8,159 or 52% in crowds, despite the Roosters struggling to finish 2023 in the top 8 (vs finishing 2018 with the Minor Premiership).

Souths v Easfs pax 17628

Slow and steady increase in pax. Unfortunately my plans seem to have fallen through and now have no one to go with, wondering if its worth still going solo and sitting in GA. If there's an explosion in ticket sales this week, I might make the effort for a big game.

Roosters finish the regular season with averages of:

All Home games: 22,898 (including Magic, 12 games)
Home games at Allianz: 23,392 (8 games)
Home games at SCG: 12,109 (2 games)
Home games in Sydney: 21,135 (10 games)
Home game at Gosford: 18,338 (1 games)
Home games in NSW: 20,881 (11 games)

Roosters should do half West Tigers and St.Steelers and just play out of Allianz and for low drawing games play the other half at the Central Coast.

Broncos to sell out suncorp 5 times over next week,and I know if they had a stadium of that size they would.
Plus how good is it to see them top of the table and not the panthers haha

Even with 15K, the new Allianz has a decent atmosphere and looks good on TV, as such, I'd want the Roosters to play no less than 9 games at year at Moore Park.

Despite the crap the club gets around supporters, there are a lot of young Roosters fans out there, especially after being quite successful over the past couple of decades (8 Grand Finals in 20 seasons between 2000 - 2019), and having the new stadium is a good opportunity for the club to try and activate that supporter base and get them use to going to Allianz.

Great crowd in Melbourne yesterday, especially considering the away supporter contingent could have fit in a minibus. 18k would have been a season high a few years back.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Very late to the party but that Roosters crowd is very impressive - hope they hold those figures when the new stadium factor has expired.

 

[Harry O]

Just bought tickets now for Dogs Eagles Pax 30k is this bullshit?

Listening to the crowd during that game you could hear a lot of cheering for the Cowboys so I suspect that a lot of local neutrals turned up to witness two Qld teams going at it.. Another advantage of the extra Qld team.

Doubt there was many neutrals attending but there was shitload of NQ fans, IMO probably 7-8k of the crowd were wearing Cowbs merch.

There is a lot of us NQers living in SEQ purely for work opportunities. The Cowboys chant that went up a few times was pretty loud.

It really is great to see the NRL posting solid crowds across the board this year. Hopefully this is the beginning of a golden era for match attendance.

Need good weather to continue, hopefully it does

We're heading into El Nino, so rain is likely to be very minimal over the next couple of seasons at least and winter is likely to be above average warm.

Terrible news for farmers, environment, etc, but perfect weather for growing crowds to a winter sport.

It's a lot of young people.

Like late teens early 20s.

Like I said before I think they've captured a big chunk of generational support with the last twenty years.

Makes up for the wet last few seasons we have had

That's a really good crowd at a shit ground with nothing to play for.

I think half of them were Soup's family.

Pax is a load of bollox that determines how many tickets have been sold, so why are we so infatuated with this method?
The reason, I was at today's Dogs game and the pax was above 30k but only 13k turned up hmmmm

 

[Pneuma]

Looking at close to 180000 for the round
