You would think that this is there biggest home draw other then the Broncos.

I would like to see Bri2 would be more of a draw then that.

the ticket strategy was horrendous. they only opened up the whole 1st and 2nd levels on Tuesday night last week. They had a few bays for sale prior but they were one game membership tickets to help inflate their bullshit membership numbers.

There was a good portion of the crowd wearing NQ colours, i'd say at around 20% were NQ fans, a noticeable Cowbs chant went up a few times during the game.

Hmm - tickets are selling slower than I thought they would for Broncos vs Rabbitohs on Thursday. We will be reliant on Stadium and GA Broncos members for this attendance. A bit disappointed.

I don't expect any less than 32,000, but I can't see more than 37,000 happening unless something happens. Thursday looks warm and sunny, so who knows!

Memberships have sold incredibly well, but game day tickets are moving slowly. Pricepoint is clearly the problem.

Stupid prices

Sideline $85 adults $65 kids
Behind sticks $49 adult $27 kids
In the gods corners $32 adult $21 kids

They charge far too much for kids and need a cheap option for adults for those who cant afford to fork out $50 for behind the sticks. They should make the top tier $15 entry and try and fill the place!

Round Total: 222,407 / Average per game 27,801


Aggregate is 183,554 if you only count the overall Vegas crowd

Either way its the highest since 2011, which I think is the highest ever Round 1 attendence.

The game against the Cowboys is worse - level 7 sideline is $149 a pop. The same area is $159 for Origin.

You could hear it on the telecast. Good to see.

 

[Lidcombe Bull]

Either way its the highest since 2011, which I think is the highest ever Round 1 attendence.

2024 is the highest R1 average ever at 27,801 per game - 2011 was 25,039 per game. However if you split the maximum Vegas crowd in half (which I think is bad analysis), then 2011 is higher, as the 2024 R1 average will drop to 22,944.

Cost of living crisis taking effect perhaps?

The NRL should look at countering this effect and reduce ticket prices. Game day tickets are far from the main form of revenue, so it makes no sense to not start lowering the prices and promote it as a feelgood story.

You shouldn't cut it in half.

Fairest way is to add it once to aggregate and divide by 7 for the average instead of 8

hasn't ticket pricing gotten "smarter" by changing prices based on the popularity?
Though it seems as if the more popular games are just more expensive rather than the less popular games being cheaper

I think the current strategy is to get cheap seats via membership than lowering individual game day tickets. Wouldn't mind seeing cheap game day tickets to away team (or any other NRL club) members to achieve a bit of both

Clubs control ticket prices. What we should have is kids seats massively cheaper and in stadiums with excess capacity cheap seats should be cheap so the avg Jo without much money can go to games as well.

Also in stadiums with excess capacity have reciprocal membership deals and offer away team members a deal.

When you have Broncos charging $80-$100 a seat in stadium that is rarley more than 60% full it seems insane.

We don`t count as one viewer the person who sits down and watches 3 games on Foxtel on a Saturday afternoon, they are three unique views, so why are we counting as the one viewer somebody who watches two games in a row live.

So how do the Warriors sell out every week? Have they found the formula of price to demand ratio ?

theyre certainly better prices than many clubs

(NZ$)
sideline $50 child $15
corners $40 child $15
behind sticks $20 child $15

They also had the best value membership packs of any club.
