Todays game is Sold out (round 21). Next week only has South Stand left (round 22). And their final game (round 25) only has South stand available too. I'd give it 95% chance they get that record.
Wowzers, that's incredible.

Any ideas how they do it? Their team is average yet they sell out every game including thier trail .

Do they have a different game day experience to Aussies clubs ? Cheaper tickets ?

They priced their memberships very well this year, the cheapest in the NRL by a long shot. I guess that gives some buffer against form when people have already bought their seats.

As said above, presold memberships. As well as having a great atmosphere, means people still want to attend even when they're not doing well. Interested to see how it goes next year. If they can maintain the atmosphere and attendance culture, it's a playbook that every team should try to copy.

You just need a modest stadium, that feels full with 20-30k there and some form. Bulldogs form right now would be perfect to do this for next year. Unfortunately they play out of Accor. If they had an Allianz (or even a more intimate Accor) to sell 25k memberships to, I could see them doing even better than the Warriors this year, in terms of average.

Also to add to this. The Warriors fans are generally quite good at making an atmosphere themselves. Add in a little bit of the marketing department bringing in traditions and other things to build atmosphere, like the song after every win and you're on to a winner.

Take the Titans for example. Perfect sized stadium, bit of form and the marketing department of the club doing a good job with creating an atmosphere and we'd be averaging 20k in down years as well and selling out seasons we're in the top 8. Just need that one successful season to kickstart it.

Other clubs should learn from those child ticket prices. That’s how you build a fan base for the future.
totally agree. for clubs that have a load of spare capacity in their stadiums its ridiculous what they charge for kids memberships, especially in the better seats. Parra used to have free childs GA membership with an adult. They've sadly given up on that. Storm have a cheap kids ga membership which is good to see.
