2024 Crowd Watch

[Dark Corner]

Bit surprised Penrith hasn't sold out for tonight, even if it's only a handful of standing + accessible tickets remaining.

It's a beaut, crisp day in Sydney, they're playing against another Sydney team and it's likely the last game at Bluebet before it closes for the rebuild.

Looked full to me

Neither Melbourne nor Townsville appear to be sold out. Both appear close but there appear to be some tickets left across multiple bays, often single seats or limited. The excruciating manner in which tickets are released may be partly to blame.

it's 100% to blame.

NQ would have sold out days ago if the last lot of tickets went on sale a littler earlier than 10pm last night.

Always smart to wait for last minute . As they do often throw up a 300 corporate seats that have been handed back

Penrith was the same. That sells out mid week if the club is in charge of ticket sales.

NRL I guess want sell outs closer to kick off

I consider the TVL crowd a 10/10 regarless - we know that the western stand is corporate, and that the NRL was desperately trying to flog corporate packages, and failed to do so.

Now that they've run out of time trying, they've released the seats to the general public but it's too late. Word has spread that it has sold out, people have made alternate plans, and multiple groups were buying batches of single seats to go, when they could have got these if the NRL had their finger on the pulse.

Melbourne is a separate issue entirely. The demand isn't quite there.

Cold and wet day in Melbourne, crowd should be well over 20k but may be a bit disappointing.

Week 2 final in Melbourne got 19.5k last year, so I guess 20k+ for a week 1 final with another to come is an improvement.

 

[ouwet]

Sunday game Pax at 10am today - 40450 as per the kennel forum.

Accordin to the SMH:

A club source told this masthead that ticket sales had passed 22,000 as of Wednesday afternoon, and corporate spaces were at capacity for Saturday’s game against the Cronulla Sharks. A full AAMI Park holds around 30,000 fans for rugby league games.

Swans captain to miss preliminary final; Hawks unveil Frost replacement; NRL cashes in on lack of Melbourne AFL finals

The Swans announced on Wednesday night that skipper Callum Mills will miss the side’s preliminary final, while Hawks coach Sam Mitchell knows he can’t replace the dependable Sam Frost for the Hawks’ must-win final this week.

Nice! I reckon we'll land in the 45-50k range tomorrow. Great outcome.

 

[DIOGENES]

Ticketmaster has less than 100 tickets for Townsville - the corporate bays are 2/3rds gone

 

[Vlad59]

Looks full

 

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

Excellent crowd in Melbourne, especially on a cold day. Well done.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

dogs CEO came out also today and said around 45k tickets sold which tracks when you add the corporates

this will push over 50 i reckon into 55ish come game day

I'm glad we moved this away from GWS I was terrified about their 20k crowd. They are so much bigger a brand in Western Sydney than the dogs

This is such a weird and dumb thing to be defensive about. The NRL weren’t dodging GWS like a boxer dodging a fight. They just avoided a difficult logistical situation for their own benefit.

I’ll maintain that it’s much more likely that they moved this game to Sunday arvo so it could be a much bigger crowd and make them a shitload more money.

It was a joke mate.

If storm win they will play their home prelim on the friday hey?

That’s my understanding

 

[Valheru]

Well Moore park is going to get a work out next week with both NRL semis there plus the swans prelim. If swans play Friday it would be a direct clash with the sharks which would be a nightmare. If they play Saturday it would be twilight and not a direct clash with roosters. It will likely be Friday night given their opponent played last night.

Wouldn’t Roosters play Friday??
