2025 Crowd Watch

[SLRBRONCOS]

Great crowd. The Phins will probably draw 25-30k next Friday vs Melbourne

For context that’s not too far off some Thursday night crowds Broncos were getting in the last decade.

For example:
Broncos Vs Panthers 2021: 21,224
Broncos Vs Panthers 2017: 21,464

Both Thursday night games.

Despite the quoted capacity of 30,500, the biggest crowd for any sporting event at AAMI is 29,871 for the Wallabies vs England in 2016, and you can bet the corporate boxes were chockers for that. The biggest rugby league crowd was Kangaroos vs Kiwis on the opening night of AAMI in 2010, which had 29,442. The biggest Storm crowd at AAMI was 29,315 for a prelim final in 2015 against the Cows. So even a sellout will not mean 30,000. Basically a sellout at AAMI will equate to a crowd of 28-29,000.

I'll be there

Great Thursday night crowd for the phins, higher than I thought it’d be.

 

[azza29]

30,050

They lost a few seats when the media box and new screens were installed for the women's world cup but the official capacity has never been updated, my guess is that practical capacity for NRL would be closer to 29,500 these days.

I think Good Friday will hit between the 52-55k mark.

If Souths win this Sat Night I think we can hit 55k.

Those level 6 tickets should be a bit cheaper though.

Yeah I actually think and from memory after row 9 or 10 IF they open it up it'll be GA tickets so $35 Adults which would be decent value.

Only about 200 seats left at AAMI including the wheelchair accessible seats

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Broncos about 3000 from a sell out. Hopefully 40-42k on the way

 

[Wb1234]

Yep great work Phins

Rugby league is now averaging 65k in crowds in Brisbane

Brisbane 3 would easily average 20k

It’s a gold mine for the nrl

 

[Hoofhearted]

Optus in Perth appears to be over the 30k mark at this stage, actually not bad considering I haven't seen any promotion of the games at all, plus the kick off time etc.
1pm on a Saturday, right in the middle of Junior sport plus the West Coast Eagles will be playing at the time at "Gather Round". Always good for a bit of walk ups over here so hopefully can push 40k.

AAMI Park has officially sold out for Sunday. It’s fully ticketed meaning GA members had to redeem their seats

A couple days in advance too, Warriors are always a big draw but this is a new high for a regular season game that isn’t Anzac Day. The MCG/Marvel idea while Gather round is on might have some legs if they think they can convert this demand in to a 40-50k crowd.

Yes it’s good, the Storm need to keep creating event day experiences and drive sellouts to get to a stage where one day most of their home games are sellouts and we’re talking about bigger stadiums in Melbourne. In the next few years if they can create 3-4 sellouts in a season plus a 50k mcg game that would be be an optimistic but achievable target.

 

[Jonty]

The storm and the warriors are creating a huge rivalry which is obviously great for both clubs but its also great for the whole NRL competition.

 

[yakstorm]

McDonald Jones Stadium has under 1,500 tickets left for Sunday's game against the Wests Tigers. I imagine they'll put up the sold out sign before kick off.

I am extremely optimistic about the MCG idea. It’s novelty which Victorians will get around simply because it’s a unique event. If it’s pushed the right way, I see it being a huge success.

 

[Jonty]

After a few ropey crowds in the opening rounds largely due to adverse weather conditions it now looks like the NRL is getting into top gear with lots of good-great crowds with a few sellouts thrown in too.

love to see it.

Melbourne are doing a good job of trying to be the second team for fans of afl teams. If they can get 3k supporters from each Melbourne team to come plus their usual 15k core supporter base that’s 40k. Plus attract another 10k curious sports fans that’s 50k.
