These stadium operators held back GA to sell the more expensive seats.

We might not get that 27k to reach the record because of this move.

You can buy 10 tickets in GA now, last 2 days these have been sold out.

Is showing as limited availability and when you actually go to purchase one it saids not enough tickets available. Might just be them going around the ground releasing the last parts of the stadium that are unsold, as its down to single seats everywhere else.
Edit: They probably released a few restricted view tickets that have already been bought. It's always a good sign when they go through and sell the last little bits like this. Means it's likely to be right up to capacity.

While there is a banner saying you can buy 10 tickets in GA section - this is the general limit if tickets are available. If you try to buy one, you find that there are none available.

Yeah with people walking away from the game thinking how shit the whole experience was compared to Commbank.

If you have not been to Commbank you will not understand.

Its a Eels home game.

If we make concessions for the Sharks to play at that dump week to week then we make small concession for the Eels to play at one of the best grounds in the country.

An extra couple thousand does not make up for the level of noise and the whole experience out at Commbank in Parramatta.
Imagine Stadium Australia if it was 75k and the seating was like Parra stadium. That is what the plan should be.

Yeah Commbank is great. Been there a few times. Just not those many seats facing the sun in the eastern stand. So frigging hot on a day like today.

It's a shame there's not as many seats on offer for the public in the shady western stand.

A little comparison to round 1 2011, which currently holds the record.

Roosters V Rabbitohs @ SFS - 27,803.
Broncos V Cowboys @ Suncorp - 45,119.
Warriors V Eels @ Eden Park - 38,412.
Storm V Sea Eagles @ AAMI - 14,651.
Titans V Dragons @ Robina - 21,609.
Raiders V Sharks @ Bruce - 13,450.
Panthers V Knights @ Penrith - 12,431.
Bulldogs V Tigers @ Homebush - 26,737.

Monday night games back then with no Thursday or Friday 6pm. You’d back most of those to get more of played today in the same stadiums. It’d be interesting to see what the Warriors could do with an annual Eden Park game again.

Sure as soon as Government Coffs up the dollars! Lol

be waiting a while

in the meantime the Sharks who some dope on an Internet forum suggests are unwanted and surplus to the NRL will continue to work with its partners (including the NRL and its investment into a hotel at… oh that’s right Shark Park) and hope they don’t upset the touchy petal too much.
Serious question, not having a go.

I remember back to my first visit to Endeavour Field in the 70s, playing in some schoolboy (U14s?)comp between the various areas winning teams. The western side had a temporary looking stand made from scaffolding. I assume that went years ago? Is it a hill here now or did they get a proper stand built?
I’m thinking they did and the change rooms were there in the period that they were upgrading the clubhouse to include the stand? It’s been a while.

Warriors would comfortably get 40K+ for a one off game at Eden Park again, especially off the back of the club's current popularity.

I wonder if the club would ever revisit it. I know one of the reasons the club ended the Eden Park experiment was Jim Doyle was strongly opposed to the constant investment in the stadium and wanted the government to invest in a new venue.

Yeh I’d love to see it for a one off again each season, maybe Anzac Day or first Home game of the season. Surprised they didn’t use it for their final last year, if it was a prelim surely they would have. It’d be really great to see what they could do if one of those new waterfront stadium options ever gets built.

I think all those crowds would be bigger today except maybe Bulldogs and definitely Titans. Although Titans was a prelim rematch from the year before so if they get back to that position who knows what their crowds could be again.
