[Simo]

[4wardPass]

Can't wait too see this game should be one of the more entertaining finals from Sydney teams.

As for all this crap about a bet...I thought it was really funny because theres no way to enforce it.
Either person could make new accounts (And get new IP's)
SO IT'S A STUPID BET!!!

Sure he made a stupid statement but even a clueless twit could tell he was joking.....
Hmmmm obviously by all the posts I'm wrong and the clueless twits couldn't tell LOL

My mate was at Bankstown not to long ago and said the line at the Bulldog shop for tickets was huge, he hasn't seen anything like it.

Just bought 8 tickets, PAX = 27,920 +

just got my tickets, pax no. 40225

Hasn't this pax number myth has been well and truly debunked by now? This was quoted from NRL.com at 6pm last night "As of 5pm today, 12,500 tickets had been sold to Eels and Bulldogs Club Members – and in a sign that their rivalry is just as close off the field, the split between fans today in designated supporter bays was 51% Eels and 49% Bulldogs."

The top poster posted at 9.45pm last night and the pax number was 27,920, Now surely since the NRL.com article was posted that 15,420 tickets weren't sold in 5 hours after it (which was still only the members priority booking window) and especially given since only 12,500 tickets were sold all day in 8 hours yesterday. Im sure there was great demand for public tickets today but that still doesn't explain the 15k that were apparently sold from 5-10pm last night.

The second poster posted at 9.46 this morning and his pax was 40,255 which means there were 27,755 tickets sold in since 5pm yesterday until this morning. No matter which way you look at it that just wasn't gonna happen which once again shows that the pax number isn't a true reflection of how mant tickets have been sold.

I'm revising my prediction:

Min: 65,000
Max: Sellout.

Up to 5pm... Members could buy tickets up to 7pm, so they were not counted... NRL members could buy tickets from 7pm-9am they were not counted... + Coroprates & Sponser tickets that were printed (in the thousands) were not counted. PAX is pretty accurate, it's been proven to be accurate over many games throughout the last 10 or so years. IF You don't like it, don't post it... Some people like to know the pAX (Me included).

It's entirely possible ANZ members were added to the pax figure overnight or late yesterday. There was also the myNRL pre-sale in between the members and general public last night. And then 46 minutes of public sale before we saw the 40,255 at 9:46am today.

PAX numbers are supposed to represent the order in which tickets are sold. The term PAX is short for Passenger, and is usually indicative of how many people have purchased tickets.

You could very well be correct. I am getting the same feeling. The build up to this game is sensational and must be replicated next year.

So the assumption is that the PAX of 43000 includes members?

Bulldogs category 1 just went single seats only

Cat B is pretty much gone for all, only really level 6 tickets left for Cat B (Unless you buying singles). Could this get a sell out? or over 75K? come on Bulldog and Eel supporters get out to the game!!!

 

[skeepe]

If this isn't a sell-out, then you Sydneysiders are kidding yourselves.

 

[ashrafieh]

If this isn't a sell-out, then you Sydneysiders are kidding yourselves.

Why? Anything over 65K is a great effort, over 70K would be awesome!!!!

I cannot wait...

 

[Pazza]

If this isn't a sell-out, then you Sydneysiders are kidding yourselves.

why? the bulldogs and eels only represent a portion of sydney

 

[Timmah]

Given the STH's of each club together only add up to a little over 10,000, anything over 20,000 is a good result. We'll well exceed that.

If this isn't a sell-out, then you Sydneysiders are kidding yourselves.

When Canberra gets over 15k its bloody remarkable
