70,000 screaming fans

[WaznTheGreat]

The whole stadium should be filled

How hard is it to get 35k each from both teams and then a few neutrals

 

[herbert henry1908]

How many tickets can actually be bought?

How many tickets does Members/Officials/Family etc take up?

There are approx 18000 members tickets.

The pax number is likely to include all corporate , NRL & family tickets.

I'm an ANZ Gold member and just got 2 tickets for my mates their PAX # is 50185/6.

My pass doesnt have a PAX. So im guessing all pass holders are not counted in the tickets sold.

As hard as it was for the dogs and parra. I think the crowd will be 70-75k

 

[Danish]

Our 2 x extra tickets for the members just arrived as well.

highest PAX is 50218

The problem comes getting the numbers when the TV coverage is live. Not an excuse but it is the simple reality. The trackwork certainly would make it a more attractive option for the caual fan

 

[Panther_Daz]

I hope they start filling up the top of the side which we see on TV first.

 

[Goddo]

WTF, I was just emailed an extra ticket. Whats doing? I'm a Dragons ticketed member, bought Cat 1 tickets on Monday, and am now given one for free?

I dont know if that is any cause for concern, but if there were 48,500 sold by last night, thats pretty slow gonig today.

Things were always going to drop off today. If the promotion is good, they only need to sell about 7k tickets per day now and hope for good weather Saturday so theres a bit of a walk up and it will be very close to a sell out

 

[meltiger]

Yeah you'd expect Wednesday. Thursday to be slow going, most who have made their mind up to go will have already bought. We'll likely see a trickle for tomorrow as well, with it ramping up Friday/Sat as more people (such as myself - Will make the call Sat morning) make the decision to attend.


Should be 70K - Dependant on how many can make it up from the Sth Coast of course. (What genius wouldn't have thought the Dragons may be alive in week 3 ffs)

50k gone already is a great start

 

[Serc]

Weather will be fantastic in Sydney on Saturday, and pretty good in Brisbane on Friday. Should make for the biggest crowds possible from a weather perspective.

 

[lockyno1]

I would go if it wasn't at Telstra, I hate that stadium, expensive beer prices and too far from the action. I will watch it on TV.

 

[applesauce]

I think if the Titans v Roosters game is a thriller it will help get more fans on the fence out to the Dragons v Tigers match.

Hopefully Suncorp will go off and look like a great spectacle, giving the weekend a real finals feel.

over 56,0000 sold according to the Ranga on Sports Tonight

 

[Serc]

Also another reason to go to the games and not sit at home and watch on the telly this weekend is because there will be no HD broadcast

That is one hell of a ground record.

Shame I'm working, hell I'd make the 900km trek to ANZ, gonna be a brilliant atmosphere with +70k.

It has now surpassed my expectations. I figured 50K.

That's a bugga Johnsy. Your employers need to get their priorities right. lol

It's been a battle here too. I blew my annual footy budget weeks ago. But I've now got a one-way ticket, and a good seat at the ground... so I'll be there.

Return flights from Syd to GC on Sunday are pretty pricey so I still haven't worked out how to get back. But stuff that, it's all part of enjoying the ride.

Worst case scenario the XPT service is about 140 one way from Central to Qld from memory when my grandmother made the trip earlier this year
