Good crowd for a Thursday night to watch the wooden spooners.

Same game a few years ago would have got half that.

A full suburban ground looks great on TV
Looks great indeed. Where on earth would you fit another 8000 humans? The capacity of that ground does my head in.

Current capacity is supposedly capped at 16,000 according to Richardson. The $40m upgrade will get it back up towards 19,000.

Last night's crowd in previous years I'm sure would have been named around 13-14K.

Looked more than 11k to me but makes sense if in previous years there was a bit of poetic crowd fudging going on.

Will also be some sore heads today haha, good stuff.

Looking at this weekend's matches:

Storm v Dolphins : Solid sales, although I had hoped for more considering it is the last regular season game. On track for 18K+, however for whatever reason member attendance in the later half of the season has been pretty average for Melbourne. If everyone turns up, it should go over 20K, but not sure, last few home games have been disappointing compared to pre-sales.

Dragons v Sharks : Unsurprisingly selling very strongly, should be a sell out, question will be whether they open up Bay NG-K after he negative feedback they got for the 25th anniversary match.

Titans v Roosters : Pre-sales are barely moving, though in credit to the Titans they have gifted every full season member 2 free tickets to bring along some friends for the match which will hopefully add a little to the crowd.

Raiders v Panthers : Surprisingly selling similar to Raiders v Sea Eagles a few weeks back. I would have thought the Raiders faithful may have given up on the season, but we could be seeing another 15K+ game to finish off the year.
NG-K is on sale. $35 bucks and mentions restricted view.

Level 2 North Bays - 220, 221, 225, 226 & 227 have already been put on sale for the inaugural Emergency Services match on September 1.

Roosters have also started marketing the match via social ads and even telegraph poles around Darlinghurst.

I had expected this match to get 20K+, just because of how strong Roosters crowds have been this year & with Finals just around the corner, but in credit to the club, they are trying to turn it into a far bigger event.
Kids also free

Southern GA has just sold out at GIO Stadium in Canberra. Outside of Northern GA, lower bowl is now either sold out or down to single seats.

Both Northern and Southern GA has sold out at AAMI Park in Melbourne. All lower bowl bays are now sold out or down to single seats.

Hill now sold out at WIN Stadium in Wollongong as well. Very little seats around the rest of the ground.

72,104 from first 3 games. Need 87,896 from the remaining 5 to finish with 20K average for the round, which will be a stretch, but possible.

More likely to finish around 152K / 19K average.

Thoughts on Melbourne tracking? North & South GA sold out.

Edit: I planned to use the last game on my 4 game GA membership tomorrow, since GA is sold out Storm sent me a message promoting me to change to a reserved seat and pay the difference to avoid missing out. I imagine quite a few people would be in the same boat so should help sell more seats.

Looks like Win Stadium is sold out tomorrow. Tried to get some this morning and says none available. There wasn’t an option for General admission, do you know if they sell any tickets for the hill at the gate?
