I think they just need to release the big chunks of restricted view in the corners of sections 200 and 229. Should have had them up all week - quite a few there.

Channel 9 were ALWAYS going to make sure that the Kangaroos match - regardless of whether it was the main event or the promotion/relegation match - was the lead-in to Nine News.NRL has confirmed that Kangaroos match will be at 4pm
Yes, I agree with you.Tonga v Australia got over 30k for the pool game
Should’ve swapped that game for commbank and the final at Brisbane
I agree the main game should be the last match of the day.It`s an arse up way of doing it, the main game should be the last event, hope it doesn`t empty out too much after the Kangaroos games,

If it’s selling out so fast then maybe Allianz would’ve been a sell out too
I think part of it is the western Sydney location though. Although I think it is a little insulting if they thought that the Islander diaspora wouldn’t travel to the city. I’m just guessing on this though.
Comm bank was the correct choice for this game, ppl are quickly forgetting the abismal crowds last year.
in coming years when the tournament starts gaining momentum we can move to bigger stadiums.
the dream would be to one day sell out accor, maybe by 2040 this could happen
maybe if the tournament continues and gets decent crowds we might get cities/stadiums bidding to have gamesYes, I agree with you.
However, before the start of the tournament, the tournament organisers never predicted Australia vs Tonga was going to end up drawing the well-above average crowd that it did (which, as I've said before, surpassed the Suncorp crowd attendances for the rescheduled 2015 ANZAC test and the 2017 RLWC semi-final).
Given the success of this tournament, I have no doubt the next Pacific Championship final that is held in Australia will be at a larger venue than Commbank. The organisers will have a lot more confidence that the final is capable of drawing a larger crowd, hence maximising profit.
Final crowd last year was awful in HamiltonDont really understand why commbank rather than Allianz? Maybe they think the PI/Kiwi fanbase more likely to go to commbank? At least its in one of Sydneys best stadiums and there's a great atmosphere in there when its full. Accor provides neither of those things.

Not to mention the majority of the Pacific Islander community in New South Wales lives in Western Sydney so it's basically bringing the game to their doorstep. Same if it was on the Gold Coast in Queensland or AAMI Park in Victoria as the majority of the Islander community of those states lives on the Gold Coast for Queensland and the South Eastern and Western Suburbs of Melbourne for VictoriaFinal crowd last year was awful in Hamilton
Last year it seemed rushed and the whole event was average
This year they had better preparation
The real reason is everything else had already been booked out in Sydney.Dont really understand why commbank rather than Allianz? Maybe they think the PI/Kiwi fanbase more likely to go to commbank?

Yeap, NRL put out the message this morningI just heard it's apparently sold out
It isn't like it is a dump in the middle of no whereGreat choice tbh
In building this up, close to the fans, cheap(er) rent and sell it out to set up the feeling of FOMO, as soon as next year
