Crowd Watch 2011

[BDGS]

Anybody know how many tickets have been sold to any games this week?

 

[dgsfan]

Especially interested in Sunday's SCG game. Should be a cracker crowd. Bulldogs loss wouldn't have helped but should still be 30,000 + hopefully nudging the 40,000s.

 

[Usain Bolt]

30,000 will be at the Tigers/Souths game tonight

 

[BDGS]

30,000 will be at the Tigers/Souths game tonight

Is that a prediction or have you seen pre-sold ticket count?

Beautiful night in Sydney. No reason why shouldn't get 25k

 

[Yosemite Sam]

As a red V member i received my ticket for Sunday's game last tuesday... Pax was 12 601.

Not sure if this is just counting the members or general public ticket sales as well.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

22k @ sfs IMO

 

[Timmah]

22,677 at the SFS. Haven't gotten anything from the Cowboys game.

Yosemite Sam, those tickets would've been issued a week or two ago. There's been pax mentioned in this thread over the last few days. 20,586 I think was the last I saw, back on Wednesday or Tuesday.

Not a bad effort at sfs should of got 25 but

2 Sydney teams especially 2 big ones should be able to pull a bigger crowd than that.

Also i forgot to say this last week but there is an old saying that when souths are going well the league is going well. I think this saying would actually ring true if applied to the dragons. Their ability to draw away crowds is incredible.

Last week in Newcastle not only did they bring a sh*tload of fans but most of them were there nice and early to watch toyota cup.

It's a shame more clubs didn't show up for away games in those numbers.

Tonights game should have got a minimum 25,000 crowd. You would have to say it was disappointing.

 

[babyg]

I dream that one day games between two big Sydney teams get 40-50,000

13,651 @ Dairy Farmers

FFS that is terrible

 

[Chook Norris]

imo about a large 7k under par, at the bare minimum
surely the cyclone didnt have that much of an effect on crowds?

Pretty bad, but Cowboys shouldn't get Friday games.

Same game got 15k last year and 18k in 09. Both were Saturdays though.

 

[elyod138]

Any game that isn't on Saturday night has a major effect on NQ crowds.

A high percentage of fans travel great distances to get to the game, they can't do that on Fridays or Mondays.

 

[Timmah]

What's doing in Townsville? I know Friday nights aren't good but they're in decent form this year...

 

[timka4]

Poor crowds from both grounds tonight, regardless of the night. Heritage round is usually pretty special and there is good rivalry. Rabbits and Tigers should have got at least 30k

 

[docbrown]

This'll happen again when Cowboys host the Broncos in Round 23.

Edit: as these 2 games are always going to be chosen by the broadcaster, it probably makes more sense to try and schedule them at least during school holidays i.e. this year it probably should have been Round 7 (22nd April).
