2024 Crowd Watch

[No1_Eels_Dude]

Tigers v Eels sold out already … so much hype for a spoon bowl lol

looking at maybe 4 sell outs next week?

No way it's seriously sold out?

 

[CAS]

Said it before, people want to be entertained, right now the footy on offer is excellent and folk want to see it live at the games and not just on TV. You will always get a few shit crowds, terrible weather and terrible teams with not much to play for, but even those near the bottom of the comp are still getting folk through the turnstiles, great going all round.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

About 400 tickets left to Broncos vs Melbourne. Then the 1200-1500 restricted view will be put on sale.

Really should be 40-42k however that Parra crowd looked more like 39-40k so who knows. Corporate sales have obviously gone to shit (just like us).

 

[soc123_au]

Panther vs Tits only GA left.

 

[Pjf04b]

Standing room only!

 

[horrie hastings]

27,239 at Allianz according to ABC radio.

Yeah, when i took my seat in upper section of the members at around 3.15pm i thought the crowd was looking around 24-25, 000 but not long after kick off i thought this crowd is going to push the 28.000 mark. was pretty close.

What happens if neither side knows how to win?

 

[Warriors Fever]

Dolphins Brisbane was at Suncorp, having a broncos home game instead makes no real difference.

Fair point

 

[Wb1234]

Close table also helps crowds

but it’s more than that

 

[yakstorm]

Bulldogs v Cowboys now selling into 403 & 411. Match is showing signs of another 30K+ crowd.

Gold & Silver bays down to single seats at Kogarah.

What is wrong with the current model?

I like that RL plays games in regional areas and not just big, soulless Stadiums

I agree with this, although I'd love to see some grounds get upgrades and capacity increases, it is something unique to Rugby League that the pro clubs still play in their community

Hopefully that happens over time but the good thing about RL is kids from outside the big cities can make to the big league. Sure they can in other sports but usually involves moving to a capital.

So getting a community feel is part of that, which the smaller grounds give. Clubs don't lose money moving games to Coffs, Bathurst etc

Yet some fans are blaming as one twitter said Putrid refs....compared to Super League and Union I'm loving the NRL.

 

[DIOGENES]

LU numbers
After 26 rounds
2024 aggregate (196 games): 3,796,514
Match average 19,370

Could we get 203,486 for round 27 to break 4 million in regular competition?
yeah, nah

 

[DIOGENES]

Its a fun thing. Austadiums also counts them as three event and came up with a different figure to all of us,

Yes magic round and double headers add complexity.
LU counts them as events for aggregate but games for average, significantly lowering the average.

 

[DIOGENES]

If we count Vegas and Magic Round as 4 events rather than 10 games the denominator is 190 and current average per event is 19,981 - a season average of >20k probable

 

[Gobsmacked]

If we count Vegas and Magic Round as 4 events rather than 10 games the denominator is 190 and current average per event is 19,981 - a season average of >20k probable

We could also double our average if we count everyone twice...unfortunately that's not how counting works.

 

[DIOGENES]

But I think there should be consistency- if we don’t double count the crowds at magic round, we should use a denominator of 3 rather than 8

 

[Valheru]

22,275 regular season average for roosters at SFS this season.

Great effort in a year where we didn't host ANZAC Day.
