2025 Crowd Watch

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

Level 4 East has not yet been opened at Accor Stadium for the Sunday game between South Sydney and Canterbury. As such, no indication of a 30k+ crowd - would probably estimate something in the range of Canterbury vs Newcastle in R5 (24,113) and South Sydney vs Roosters in R5 (22,114).

That would still be one of the top ten crowds of the year in Sydney.

There's truth to that for sure. Rugby League is built on tribalism. It's hard to argue though, that the South-East corner of Sydney needs two teams when you look at the crowds coming out of Shark Park and Kogarah.

Dragons to WIN and Allianz? Sharks crowds should pick up when the ground returns to 18k.

Why were the Sharks put in the NSWRL in the first place ?

13,708 at Robina.

Doesn't a Friday night game excite the GC ?

Robina could really do with the Commbank treatment where the crowd/seats aren’t illuminated much. These empty blue seats are so obvious

That would help, although Titans really need to look at their ticketing strategy.

Outside of the ridiculous pricing (no concession or child categories goal line to goal line with prices starting over $90 for the centre bays), it's strange what bays they do and don't put on sale.

Gosh tonight's crowd looks worse then yesterdays

They charge huge dollars for those sideline seats.

Why not juniors get in free with every adult? They used to this alot

 

[Brutus]

Maybe the Sharks could merge with GWS.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I think the GWS crowd counter must have a second job on the Gold Coast

 

[dogslife]

Was there a big dirt bike convention on the coast tonight?

 

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

Maybe the Sharks could merge with GWS.

Relocate the Sharks to Tas or Norfolk Island.

Which option would get the bigger crowds?

The Great Western Sharks

Why were the Sharks put in the NSWRL in the first place ?

What ever the reason was it was clearly wasn’t well thought out.

 

[yakstorm]

Both hills are at capacity for Knights v Roosters with very few tickets left in the lower bowl overall.

Upper areas of the Andrew Johns Stand are selling strongly as well. Shaping to be a decent crowd at McDonald Jones Stadium tonight.

In Townsville, most of the southern grandstand has been sold. Western and lower bowl are similar.

Looking at around 40K aggregate for the two games.

 

[Steel Saints]

Yes it's not ideal but junk games like Cronulla v St George draw the last straw I'm afraid. Not enough people care.

All of the games are "junk games" this week without origin players.

 

[Desert Qlder]

All of the games are "junk games" this week without origin players.

Nah there’s good interest and decent crowds expected for tonight’s games.

It’s Cronulla v St George that is genuine trash.

Seems like last release of State of Origin Game 3 tickets has been made available at Accor Stadium in Sydney - diamond tickets across levels 1 and 4 east will set you back $334 a pop.

TfNSW has released State of Origin Game 3 travel advice and is planning for a crowd of "around 80,000."

State of Origin Game III

With around 80,000 footy fans expected to attend State of Origin Game III, ticketholders are urged to leave the car at home and catch public transport to avoid getting caught in heavy weeknight traffic delays. Travel on transport is included in match tickets - express trains and major event...

transportnsw.info

It's been three years since Sydney last had a State of Origin crowd over 80,000 (80,512 in 2022). 2023 drew 75,342 and 2024 got 77,214.

Will the third game sell-out if it's 2-0 going in?Any Origin in Queensland is an automatic sell-out, but NSW seem to need a decider to really get them horny about the game, even when the NSW team is humping us to death.
