2025 Crowd Watch

[SLRBRONCOS]

The Storm have never sold out a week 1 final. I'd be very surprised if it's sold out by Friday. If they get to 25k that's still a good result.

Because of their excellent crowds this year I expected this to be the year that they'd do it. 3 regular season sell outs, to me it's a bit 'meh' to not sell out a final after achieving that, and second place.

Agree that 25k will look and sound good, especially if a bunch of Bulldogs fans travel.

I think the Friday night game makes it hard. If it was Saturday I think enough would have flown down to make it worth it. With no AFL games in Melbourne this weekend, it would have been great.

Yeah agree, Friday and Sundays are really hard for opposition fans to get there.

We got 26k last year in week 1 - not exactly concerned!

Wahs slow? They are selling far better than Melbourne... Melbourne sales so far are poor given that they have the city to themselves on Friday night, if we're honest. I thought they'd had such good crowd momentum that their fans would sell this out in a day or so.

Hopefully they can sell it out by Friday, but there are seats available everywhere at the moment.

i think melbourne is most expensive out of them all, paid 95 for category 2

i thought it was standardised for finals

I suspect there won't be any finals on Sunday in week 3 of this year's finals. That way both GF teams can get at least 8 days recovery and prep days for the GF, which when you add in the extra off field activities is important.

It used to be standardised but in 2023 the Broncos suffered the same fate as Melbourne, and they seem to charge on the basis of facility standard.

I paid $84 (ticketed member rate) for Category 1 in Canberra.

Maybe 2,000 tickets left at Mt Smart for Warriors v Panthers. Definitely some significant movement since this time yesterday and should be close to capacity by EOD.

Same category (also member rate) is $104 in Melbourne. Paid it, but feels expensive for first round. I reckon more than a few fans will skip this week and wait for the next home final instead.

Serious question, how the f**k isn't Shark Park sold out by now?

When has it been sold out anyway?

 

[Brutus]

First week of the finals and there's one game in Sydney to look forward to. Should be great.

Oh wait a minute, the ground holds how many???

I might just go watch a NSW Cup finals match instead.

 

[Sky_Is_The_Limit]

It is sold out and has been sold out since Tuesday - the map shows ticket availability but if you actually select any of the options, there are none available.

 

[eels4lifee]

While every other game will have over 20k-Shark Park would be lucky to have 10k

Good option as you won’t get a ticket anyway. But you can get a ticket in Melbourne and Auckland if you are quick. So off you go laddie.
BTW the scenario you are whinging about could have applied to other clubs as well. Manly immediately comes to mind. If this upsets you so much then write an angry letter to the NRL. I’m sure they will care. Kind regards etc etc Vlad

They could move it to Allianz but you see Sharks fans don’t travel so you’ll likely only get a small crowd there. Better off playing it at Shart Park and getting a big crowd……wait
