2024 Crowd Watch

[beave]

Just like in the stadium thread the flop from Perth hasn't done his research.

Stadium members take up about 8.5k seats. Their areas are often 50-60% full, so let's take 4,000 off the capacity. We now have 48,500. Then, the Broncos sell areas as GA - this reduces the capacity to ease pressure on ushers. lets work with 48,000ish. I don't think the crowd is disappointing, but it is certainly less than I thought. In any case, a sell out.

myself and 12 lads from work did GA for the Cowbs game, we had choice of 3 bays in the NW corner, 2nd tier. We went 533 on the night.

I would estimate all 3 GA bays were only 75% populated, so peeps in that area didn't turn up or like you're saying, they just don't sell 100% of the seats/tickets in those GA bays. they need to piss that mindset off and just do it like the rest of the joint.

84,229 after 3 matches. Need 75,771 from the remaining 5 to ensure 20K average.

Should hopefully get there and above pretty comfortably with Warriors set for 23K+ and Tigers at 15K+.

If you think 16k is a shit crowd in Melbourne, take yourself to a Rebels game.

Who?
It’s quite a low bar getting compared to a soon to be extinction event like the Rebels

The Storm crowd was disappointing .. shame because it was a quality game

Yep - the Broncos brought in GA areas in 2014 to try and get 'single seat' members. It worked in the days that we weren't selling out, but now we're working with back to back sell outs and will probably sell out vs Penrith, and the Titans.

I hope next year we just go back to a fully allocated capacity. These areas have probably cost us $130k per game.

The Storm crowd was fine. If you have any knowledge of where its supporter base is located, given the time slot it was pretty much what any reasonable person would expect.

I have realistic expectations of what to expect from Melbourne understanding the market.

@Perth Red is sad somewhere in England, Miami, Paris, the Moon, or maybe even Adelaide Oval

Meanwhile, RUGBA LEEG:

Its a Thursday night game.

If it where a Sunday day game would have cleared 25k.

When is the last time the Warriors got 22k on a school night?

They are still your benchmark hahaha.

Well poster shamen said it was poor ?

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Broncos vs Raiders next week is looking like 32-35k is on the cards. Level 6 west is nearly sold, and level 7 south is open and selling quite well.

 

[Warriors Fever]

Great crowd for the time slot in Melbourne, don’t know why people saying it were poor. I think Suncorp needs to make the Brisbane derby/ North Queensland derby all ticketed. Like they do with origin.

 

[ground zero]

Great turn up at Suncorp 6000 non turnup off members is the almost as embarrassing as Shark Park Capacity.

At least there is the option of showing up or not showing up at suncorp unlike shark park which has a 12.5k capacity.

Great result for the Wests Tigers and it's already having a flow on effect for the ANZAC Round game against the Broncos with a number of bays already down to limited seats.

Looking across the other games this round, Eels are seeing some late movement. Sideline seats in lower bowl are either sold out or down to single seats, some decent sales behind the in-goals as well. Platinum in the upper levels are down to single seats and Gold is selling into the last 10 rows.

Big unknown is GA areas, but hopefully will the Eels faithful haven't given up on the club yet, and we can push more towards 18K, though I think it is more trending for a 15-16K result.

Raiders v Titans is not selling great. Such a shame it's not at 2pm tomorrow.

Here before the empty seats at mt smart are criticised .
