2025 Crowd Watch

[It's Been Done]

You can tell by that post that the AFL are getting nervous about Good Friday's expected huge crowd at Accor, especially if it tops 72,393 which is the AFL Home and Away record crowd at not only Accor, but outside of Victoria. 72,393 is the number to beat on Friday

Based on that pax 1500 shifted in a short time frame

That one day sale will get a lot of publicity and should generate a lot of flow on sales over the 4K allocation

Gus is a genius in what’s he’s done for that club since the disaster that happened after Greenberg left

 

[Dark Corner]

For as little as $10 (and full strength beer back behind the bar) it'd be a great day to be a part of history!

Be great if it was like that for every NRL game.....A feeling of Deja Vu just came over me ?

 

[Rabbits20]

If you use that as a factor to project this year's Good Friday crowd:
= pax / factor
= 46,086 / 0.699
= 65,931

Does that pax number include Souths ticketed members and ANZ Stadium members or not?

Anyone got the full article? I assume it is talking about the Dolphins’ home game swap with Souths now being same day as Broncos V Warriors.

Suncorp with 1 - 1.5 hours between games, kayo or the Gabba.

630 has already shifted ten rows

Wonder how much of these they can shift tomorrow. 4K looks like it’s all six bays

I’m just wondering does the pax include Souths reciprocal rights members and ANZ Stadium members? I’m assuming it doesn’t include Souths reciprocal rights members. So if we get 9k or so of those which I think we will already we are not too far off 60k

60k how cute.

Now add the crowd plus the tv ratings for both games to get a total audience figure. Once you do that you'll realise why RL is Australia's biggest sport

i know this isn’t nrl related but i saw second ashes test sold out at new everton stadium.

No, it wouldn’t include Souths members and it probably won’t include stadium members. My understanding is that it only includes pax of the ‘seller’ which is the bulldogs, so should only include their ticketed members, flexi opt ins (if they have them), and tickets sold in the general sale.

Souths members that attend and recieve a ticket at the box office will then be added to the pax.

Based upon the instructions sent out to Rabbitohs members where they can scan their card on the day, it's highly unlikely that they're included in the PAX.

PAX only goes up if an actual ticket is produced and as the members haven't had to pre-request a seat or anything, standard practice is just to put areas of the ground on hold.

It would be similar for Accor Stadium members as they also haven't been required to pre-request/book a spot or confirm their intention to attend.

Beat me to it @SLRBRONCOS

Amazing the nrl / clubs can come up with marketing ideas for this game

But can't think up any ideas for all the games that get 10,003 crowds

 

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

In all seriousness though, with the numbers being talked about, I can see why there might be a large contingent of randoms turning up.

Is randoms shorthand for random Souths fans?

It's not that they can't, it's just most clubs are very conservative when it comes to spending money on marketing/promotions.

They don't like doing anything that could result in them making less money than they would have if they did nothing.

This game is nice & safe as they've already made far more than they budgeted for (as too Ticketek & VenuesNSW).

Nice little sesh at Caxton hotel between games.
I could live with that

 

[ouwet]

Blue Zone is now Limited Availability so basically unless they're holding more tickets the whole lower bowl is sold out (Except level 3 which is yet to be opened). Level 4 is down to like 20 tickets left (On the East).

Wow am I right in saying if all members turn up (Stadium, Bulldogs n South Sydney) 60,000 will be the crowd if played today? Level 6 both sides is around 20,000.

 

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

This has been revised up again!!

TfNSW now estimating nearly 60,000 in the house at Accor for Good Friday.

Everything is coming together for a truly historic day for rugby league.

TfNSW updated again to "more than 60,000 footy fans."

transportnsw.info

All four metrics (media coverage, NRL, pax factor and now TfNSW) all pointing to a 60,000+ crowd.

Seems the all-time regular season attendance is now assured, question is by how much.
