56k is absolutely amazing but many people were marched up the hill with predictions of high 60’s&low 70’s ,
It was hard to tell cause sales just dropped off a cliff from Tuesday till today

Other dogs games this year kept selling but this was an nrl run and marketed event

Transport nsw who are the best guide had 60k

I said this earlier in thread. What was used to make that prediction, has a journo just thrown it out and everyone just run with it?

Bulldogs mid season form with their injuries pulls some extra. All the P parking was gone by the time the game was announced due to the 4 or 5 other events on today in Olympic Park.

The access to that likely plays into it, the crowd was great will beat either Prelim but due to a Baseless claim it could be seen as a poor crowd

They obviously use it as a marketing tactic to make it into a unmissable event.

They won't get anywhere near 70,000 if Panthers fans don't show up. I want to see that stadium filled as much as possible and my point is that the timeslot is perfect for a big crowd. If they played it at night you could 100% see some fans not being bothered to attend.
I'm guessing Panthers fans didn't turn up?

Reminder in the past 24 years the grand final of 2016 Sharks V Storm got the 4 biggest crowd in the past 24 years.
Wouldn't be concerned about a G?F crowd .The 3 other biggest crowds were in the early 2000.

I hope so as 2016 crowd was 83,625 s.
Not only is it the biggest crowd in Week 2 NRL Finals history, but it is also the tenth highest non-Grand Final / double header crowd in NRL history (and three of those crowds were recorded this year):
