Crowd Watch 2012

I guess they're hoping Queenslanders stay the extra couple of days for both to boost the crowd.

I've no doubt there'll be some QLD's staying behind for the game on Friday night which has been the case in the last couple of times origin was played here.

Should be a decent crowd too - Category 1 is already down to single seats only, and Storm have sent out a lot of e-mails advising GA members to get there early or upgrade their seats.

Only competing event on is Bulldogs v Cats so that shouldn't affect the crowd too much either.

If any Bulldog or Rooster supporters are thinking about buying Category 2 tickets... You can buy cheap Cat 2 tickets from Spreets...

So cat 2 is $38. On a Monday night ?

How much is cat 1 ??

My threshold for a game of footy is $25 for a standard game

These prices are ridiculous MNF should all be $15 all year kids $5

Would also help stupid scheduling like Melbourne v Brisbane 2 days after Origin

It's bullsh*t that they have ruined this game yet again. It's pretty much guaranteed to be one of the games of the year but then they do this do it.

I guess this makes sense but it i guess i just selfishly waht to see both teams at full strength.

In a game where we will get flogged...good luck with that one.:lol:

I don't see why, i don't think your lineup looks that much weaker this week.

Agreed, instead of giving clubs $'s due to reduced crowds they should be giving it to them to reduce ticket prices and keep the crowds up.

 

[Billythekid]

I much prefer close rectangular grounds but the crowd still looks fantastic tonight.

 

[Perth Red]

Did they bring the stands in? Didn't look like it.

 

[Panfas]

Fantastic Origin 1 crowd of 56,021 one of the highest ever

Highest sporting crowds for each sport at Etihad
Soccer: 55,436 2007 Melbourne v Adelaide
Rugby: 56,605 2001 Australia v British / Irish Lions
AFL: 54,444 2009 St Kilda v Geelong

I think they should give each home game up to $100,000 per Monday night game.
Each monday night game should offer 10,000 tickets for $10. The NRL would then give the club an extra $10 for every cheap ticket sold. Make those cheap seats on the non-camera side as well to make it look better on TV

I reckon that they have only brought the sides in about 3 times since the stadium was built

 

[azza29]

Nope. Doesn't happen often. Would be better if they did, but it knocks 3k off the capacity and some of the turf has to be lifted out, so it's not possible when there will be an AFL game played 2 days later.

 

[Perth Red]

What poor design!

Well if not that then something like that.

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Bringing the stands in also reduces capacity by around 5K IIRC.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Storm did it once and the pricks charged em 100k

 

[Panther_Daz]

Souths v Canberra - 11k
Melbourne v Brisbane - 15k (Rain increasing today)
Newcastle v Gold Coast - 16k
St George-Illawarra v Parramatta - 14k
Penrith v Manly - 13k
Wests Tigers v North Qld - 18k
Sydney Roosters v Canterbury - 13k

 

[Moffo]
