2024 Crowd Watch

[Brutus]

Something other than just a random social post saying 'BTW we're playing this week' would be nice. The Dolphins have lucked out a bit this year with their Suncorp matches. Cowboys, Wests Tigers, Knights & Sea Eagles as their opening 4 is a harder sell than Roosters, Broncos, Rabbitohs & Storm, but regardless they don't seem to know how to make an event around a game.

It's 4 v 5, and they're playing a team with the Queensland captain in it, surely there is some story to tell?

And DCE'S old man was a former Dolphins player.

I forgot about that... so many stories they could be telling... yet the only stories they put out to hype up the game have been:

Kaufusi ready for Suncorp Stadium return
Stone living 'next man up' mentality
Woolf chasing consistency

Literally ChatGPT style content which arguably could be used multiple times in the year.

The Kaufisi one`s not bad, big name returning to a big arena, good to mention those two, the second "Stone..." well he`s a nobody, who cares and the third strikes me as being a bit negative, even defeatist.
All of these probably rate as secondary narratives, but to get the punters excited I think you need big picture, that`s why I`d focus on the "battle for the top 4 ", or "4 vs. 5" sort of thing.

The Dolphins look to have had some decent sales overnight, particularly behind the posts. Unless some bays haven't been opened (309, 310, 333 & 334) the crowd might be over 20k.

Level 5 on the south side of Suncorp has been opened for the Women's Origin match and pretty much all sideline level 3 seats have been picked up.

Less than 1,000 tickets left at Penrith. All grandstand seats are sold out, same with the South Hill. Forecast for Penrith is no where near as wet as the rest of Sydney, so hopefully the crowd won't be significantly impacted.

Hard to truly tell how Parramatta is selling. Most of the bays in the lower bowl have very limited tickets left, but the Cowboys match showed similar signs in some bays, yet it didn't look like that on game day. I'd like to say it's tracking more for 16K, but I'm not confident.

Pretty impressed with the sales in the Broncos bay at Commbank - it's not the best location, IMO, those that agree would just buy elsewhere, so this is a good boost, I guess. Apparently we bought another bay off the Eels for our 'below the border' members but I'm not sure where that is (maybe a small one like 128 or 129?). Really didn't understand just how many supporters we have in Sydney until the GF last year. Was also shocked at our support at Campbelltown.

I forgot about the Below the Border memberships, especially as the Broncos have actually sold quite a few of them this year. I also forgot they were doing an event around the Eels game.

Hopefully the Sydney based Broncos fans do turn out in force.

This feels like a good kayo stadium game

Rain and a Thursday night = smaller crowd.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Can we please have some dry Suncorp games soon please Broncos or Dolphins I don't care, the rainy games are getting old

Doesn't help when the opponent doesn't have a huge supporter base in SEQ either.
