Brisbane is wild - actually sold out in mid March, but I was expecting some to be held back but it seems not! Great outcome.

And some in the stadium thread think that a 65k Suncorp won’t ever sell out!

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

The Broncos are doing some different things for this Roosters game.

Usually when they open level 7 east, they start with bays 721 and 722 in the 'sideline' category. They've gone with 721 and 720 for this fixture - so more towards the south east side. In addition to this, they have randomly opened level 7 north but opened section 730 and 733 both under the category 'behind the posts'. Usually they'd start with sections 726-730 as 'corner'. Having gaps between bays utilised is odd, and not usually how they operate.

This makes me think that the level 7 east sections 722-726 might be reserved for something else. Total speculation though, but it seems odd that level 7 north would be utilised before level 7 east is sold. If this is the case, 40-42k is back on the cards! But this might be a false start, and I'll check back throughout the week.

It's a shame that the weekend is looking to be so wet, as the Bulldogs v Wests Tigers game is showing some promising sales signs with Bays 126 - 134 in the west with most bays down to limited seating or sold out. If there was no planned rain, I'd reckon it would be pushing 20K. If it's as wet as they are predicting, then unfortunately half of that.

RL are killing it across the country.

It's shame! Some Bulldog supporters who haven't gone in years are all of a sudden come out of know where wanting to go to games...

Unless it's horrific weather I still think we'll get around 12-13K with rain... 24-26K without rain.

Cmon qld upgrade Suncorp

put nsw to shame

 

[yobbo84]

If there's more than 5,000 people on Thursday night I'll be genuinely shocked.

It's crazy that anyone thinks 65K is too big. I mean just between Origin, Broncos & Magic Round, Suncorp has already 'sold out' six times this year alone just for Rugby League.

Origin, Magic Round and the Battle of Brisbane games could comfortably get 80K there if the venue supported it and it's not like RL is the only thing the stadium hosts.

80k would be amazing for origin

homebush is good with 83k in it but suncorp would be something else

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

The Broncos have now released the north east corners and some more tickets up in level 7 north. This is interesting - they never do this until level 7 east has sold.

Really good work from the Broncos - I just wish that they did this last Friday.

They've also released a few more areas for the games against the Titans, Sharks and Penrith.

Why would the dolphins be holding off on selling tickets to their Perth game?

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Yes its great to see post covid the NRL attendances now getting to decent levels for the majority of clubs. I remember when people mocked Dave Smith for putting a 20k avg goal in the NRL strategic plan!
New stadiums make a big difference, hard to build crowds if your stadium cant hold them. It still feels Allianz and Commbank are under utilised but as clubs see the other clubs in those stadiums financially pulling away it may motivate them to rethink suburbia.

The only reason last year's average nudged past 19k is because of the Dolphins' averaging 25k. If the NRL went with your vision and added Perth the average would drop.

If you want the NRL to average 20k+ then bring in NZ2, BRIS3 and NZ3.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Just say KP played, as well as Herbie, Flegler and Hammer.

You've got your 25k easy.

It didn't help that the railway lines were down for maintenance.

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

I understand that track maintenance has to be done on the weekends for obvious reasons but it was the whole Northern line (Caboolture/Nambour, Redcliffe & Shorncliffe) that was down last weekend.

They are on pre sale at moment. prices are fcking ridiculous! $120 +$6 on sideline $69+$6 behind the sticks!!

They seem to do weird things selling tickets in advance.
Their home game against the broncos has had nothing but wheelchair access seats available since the start of the season yet they haven't released the middle or top tier seats for sale.

 

[Perth Red]

Code for presale for perth game @Bukowski is NRLWADOLPHINS
