2025 Crowd Watch

[ground zero]

Titans charges 120 bucks a ticket greed at it's best. Seriously it's only a premiership round. Fans will stay away at that price.

Where are these $120 seats?

Premium seats? Probably still overs for a club game (90-100 is more palatable) but GA tickets are $38.

That price of 38 GA is offensive enough, no idea why you decided to go with a premium price

Bit of a concern that the suns draw 16k and titans 13k on the same day at a similar time slot on the GC. Especially since the titans were playing the dolphins.

Sure the suns game was a top of the table clash but still.

Both are pathetic crowds.

i dont know why professional sports bother with the Gold Coast.

move the team to Perth or NZ, somewhere that’ll add to the nrl.

Yeah, I’m increasingly growing tired of crowds on the Gold Coast when far better options are available even within Queensland.

Looks more than 25k

Would guess 25 to 27k

No chance they move

It’s becoming a big city in its own right

Their main rivals stadium looked pretty empty for their last game

The Gold Coast is already at max population. They are hummed in by the ocean and mountains. The population isn’t going to grow.

They wont ever get good crowds. They add nothing to the NRL, move them else where…..even to Ipswich would be an improvement.

Lmao they are building thousands of new units every year

And it’s going to extend all the way too collangatta with light rail from main beach all the way to tweed heads

Population forecast to grow 50 percent to one million in 2041

still another 10-20 years to have more home grown fans than immigrants

Honestly mate I’m desperate for it to work on the Gold Coast but after 40+ years of mediocre performances both on and off the pitch when do you say enough is enough?

Every sport has failed in the GC

The population move to the Gold Coast from other areas, if they are league fans they already have a team.

the titans are dead weight just as the seagulls and giants were.

This Bulldogs crowd would be pretty great at literally any other stadium.

The cheapest upgrade you could give Accor is CommBank coloured seats.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

For all the good RL has done over the last few years and continues to do. They are high on their own supply when it comes to pricing. GA are too expensive

I'm a Broncos and Dolphins member, two of the more expensive clubs to buy tickets to watch. But memberships make it cheap as chips, that's the obvious solution. Most clubs offer 3 game memberships if you can't get to all the games

 

[Suitman]

The reason why there wasn't a larger crowd at CommBank yesterday was ticket prices. It's a no brainer.
The emptiest seats were the most expensive ones.
Those expensive seats were the tickets opposite the camera side. The cheaper seats at the ends were more or less filled.
Charging $100+ a seat for any NRL game is highway robbery.
The NRL really needs to get on top of this and try and fill stadiums.
Clubs need to stop being so greedy as well, particularly for lesser drawing games.

 

[RedVee]

Serious question: who sets the pricing? The Stadium owner or the club renting the stadium?

The ground everyone wants to abandon – the much-maligned Accor Stadium – is set to break an all-time NRL attendance record.

The Canterbury Bulldogs and South Sydney Rabbitohs play at Homebush on Good Friday with officials predicting a crowd approaching 60,000 for a blockbuster game between the traditional Easter rivals and two of the premiership’s form outfits.

The irony is that both Souths and the Bulldogs have recently gone public with threats to ditch the venue as their regular home base.

The previous biggest crowd for a home and away NRL game was in 2013 when the Roosters v the Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium attracted 59,708 fans.

Good Friday is Canterbury’s home game this year and will provide the Bulldogs with a huge financial injection from gate takings and corporate sales.

After years of misery, their fans have resurfaced in great numbers this year and are arguably the most passionate supporters in the game.

Souths fans too are back on board in great numbers to support old super coach Wayne Bennett’s rebuild from finishing 16th last year.

Bulldogs chief executive Aaron Warburton has his sights set on a record.

This same game attracted a crowd of 51,686 back in 2013.

“With both teams starting well this year, we’ve got a real chance to set the all-time regular season attendance record and show why we have the most passionate fans in the game,” he said.

“The atmosphere should be fantastic. The Bulldogs and Rabbitohs have always had a strong, respectful rivalry.

“These are the kinds of games players really value - a full stadium, that holiday feeling, and two proud clubs competing hard in front of what could be 60,000 fans. That’s what it’s all about.”

This is a monster game of footy that shows why Sydney’s old Olympic Stadium deserves an upgrade with a retractable roof and should always be an integral part of the NRL calendar.

It’s nice to have the world-class facilities at Allianz Stadium but no other venue in Sydney can cater for the Easter blockbusters, State of Origin and the grand final.

That is fine for the good seats. No reason the $40 GA can't be halved

This is objectively rubbish. The Titans have averaged 13k or more all bar two of their 19 seasons (three if you include COVID). Those two seasons their averages were above 11k.

The Giants/Seagulls/Chargers entity never cracked five figures - highest average was 9468 in 1992 (in the second year of three straight wooden spoons)

Agreed.
It's just clubs being greedy and not caring about attendances.
I hate to say it, but it is exactly what that other code does.
