2026 Crowd Watch

[yakstorm]

Warriors, Broncos & Rabbitohs have three of the biggest supporter bases Perth, so any of them would be a relatively safe options for opening round.

They also are the type of opponents who can draw neutrals to further swell crowd numbers.

The Warriors are the biggest draw for away crowds in Aus, you'll get 20k Warriors fans and justify Optus.

Might feel that way, but not number 1 across the board (or overall). One of the biggest draws for Brisbane, Gold Coast & Melbourne, mixed for other places.

Plenty of NZ guys working the mines in WA.

They're not playing the games in Minneapolis
Vegas is a world all on its own

Yeah well if I wasn't Anglo I wouldn't be going. Especially now they search your phone for Trump memes.

I guess I mean consistent across the board. Obviously cross town rivalry like Broncos anywhere in QLD will be better.

What is it telling us

 

[Burns]

Any comparison points to where we were this time last year with Vegas?

Those sales look okay. Maybe high 28,000 - 30,000? So bout half sold, noting that nothing on Level 4 seems to have been put on sale (and probably won't be put on sale).

This is what @nko11 posted last year showing sales between Jan 11 - 28

 

[i0Nic]

Half sold really? It’s a bit hard to read that seat chart but it looks a lot less than half sold to me?

 

[i0Nic]

I’d say it looks about 85% of what was sold this time last year. If that holds true we’ll be looking at a crowd of around 38,000

In regards to roosters for this season, 25k at Allianz again would be a raging success. I dont care about magic round and Gosford and don't count them for better or worse in our average. The issue we have this year is no hosting rights to ANZAC day.

Bra you don’t count the Gosford game but count ANZAC Day? I get it’s played at Alliance but it’s an event game. That’s a bit of picking and choosing in my opinion.

Nope,
Sydney , most of their fans in Perth won't mind that much either...
They didn't pluck the colours or logo out of thin air afterall.

Oh my. This is a terrible take.

I think it's a bad idea to comment on such rediculous statements.
You're giving it more attention than it deserves.

100% agree. Your most get much more attention than it deserves the majority of the time as well so let’s not throw stone by bra-less little champ.

You it as if it’s the only option. It’s not.

It's hard to judge hey. We've sold more in the bottom but less in other places. Looks like they're releasing them with a different strategy.
Hopefully they're getting better at moving tickets in the last few weeks with the experience they have now. 40k will be a pass

Yes I can and it's not picking and choosing at all. It's a home game at our regular home venue

I don't count Vegas or Magic round, that would be picking and choosing.

All I am interested in is the average attendance at the SFS, others can count what they want.

 

[Dogs Of War]

So do they upgrade people to the sides of the stadium for free? Cause it will look crap on TV with people on the edges and up high and no one on the sides.

Nah, it's tracking similar to other games and didn't look crap at all.

Yeah doesn't mean they didn't upgrade people to better seats cause otherwise there would be gaps.

True. Maybe someone that went will tell us.
The bottom ring is mostly sold anyway and what you'll mostly see on TV

I thought the blue was the sold. Not the white. Which doesn't look great. It's a pretty big stadium and makes more sense that's what it represents given the current sales.

The white is sold or unreleased
