Crowd at Allianz exceeded my 11k prediction but is still disappointing for a sunday arvo game. By my estimation there where less than 1000 penrith fans around the ground.

Last night my impression at the ground was over 30k, but guess the reported crowd must be correct

Titans crowds are telling. I think they have yet to bottom out. Sub 10k's on the way.

 

[baldie]

16k in Melbourne.

 

[DIOGENES]

More than 6 K tomorrow night will put this round in the top 20 all time rounds

16k in Melbourne.

See, I would have guessed more.

Misleading stadium.

Ok how the hell did that happen?

Steel GA and Legion- $30
Gold- $43
Titanium- $57

Family tickets are $82, $120 and $157 (4 people)

Still atrocious pricing. They are effectively pricing their natural fanbase out of the stadium

I dont know if the NRL have the authority to do this but maybe they could introduce a set league wide pricing structure. Maybe-

GA- $20-25
Catergory 2 reserved- $30-35
Category 1 reserved- $40-45

There is no way this round could be top 6 of all time.

In 95 the warriors, broncos, cowboys, crushers and reds all averaged above 20k, surely the 6 best would have come from there.

I meant 20 of all time as well.

9 teams averaged less than 10k that year.
Best round was 15,889.

Reds didn't go anywhere bear 20k though, Knights did.

 

[DIOGENES]

Rounds of more than 150K are fairly rare but are becoming more common. In the last few years the average game ha s been 15 - 16 K. 16 x 8 matches = average round = 124K but slowly rising

 

[DIOGENES]

On an aggregate basis 5 of the top 30 rounds were in 1995 but these were not so good on an average basis because there were 20 teams/10 games

Don't kid yourselves. The Gold Coast and Northern NSW is rugby league territory first and foremost.

The Titans need to get out there selling 4 game and 12 game memberships with public transport options, not just on the Gold Goast but everywhere from Logan down to Coffs Harbour. Pricing is the biggest concern. They're also competing against the Suns that have the advantage of having an AFL biased Stadiums QLD board member and part stadium ownership. Seems to me the Titans have got 4 options -

1) Put collective pressure on Stadiums QLD and the government to drop their rent charges in order to reduce tickets and memberships prices. Either by getting a friendly board member, making it a public media outcry and threatening to go to an independent stadium.

2) Ask a rich benefactor to act as a debt coverage provider (similar to Tinkler) so they can reduce the prices and hope that the increased overall numbers offset any losses from the price reduction

3) Similarly ask the NRL for a grant/debt coverage provision

4) Take a gamble and reduce the price themselves without the coverage protection

Why are Stadium QLD AFL biased.

Looks good in Melbourne. The western upper deck is open but there only looks to be a few hundred people sitting up there. Are those seats usually open to the public or is it members only?

They have opened it up for all, but looks like they try to sell out the eastern before selling any seats on the other side. So tonight was just members.

It was a bit lonely up there - but no beer queue at half time!

It was really hot in the stadium. Our first thoughts were people must have been getting in some beach time due to the sh1tty summer. Very disappointing crowd and there were more likely only a couple of hundred panthers fans at best.

 

[cleary89]

So that leaves 10k roosters fans. Nice.

 

[morley101]

12739 was a very average crowd but was up 33% compared to previous
years (2011 and 2008 ).

 

[Raiderdave]

while hardly anything to .....:sarcasm: crow .. about

that roosters crowd V penrith may be the biggest ever for a club game between the 2 in the moore park area

about 2500 more then I thought it would be
& on a sunny day not far from bondi


I'll confirm this ;-)

 

[adamkungl]

Back around 2003 that would have drawn 18k...disappointing. Whatever, the crowd against Canberra will undoubtedly be worse.
