Crowd Watch 2014

[SLRBRONCOS]

Should get VERY close to 40K with fingers crossed a good forecast!

Lets hope. I think it will be anywhere from 33-37k. The weather around 3-5pm seals the deal for Brisbane folk. Currently the weather seems sunny - 82% humidity, if that builds we will end up wet.

I got Broncos v Cowboys tickets last friday at about 1pm and the pax was 44,500 - crowd was 42.3k.

Ticketek is down. Again.

I dont think it is rugby league fans, or just any fan who wants to turn up that is killing our crowd averages.
I just explained it on the Stadiums blog across the road.
Believe it or not, expansion will improve our crowds averages.
Perth and Brisbane should be able to build crowds. I have said we need 3 teams at least in and around Brisbane.
I explained it over at the stadium blog. If you want it again, i will cut and post it over here.

The soul reason crowds are going backwards is not the fans fault. We have got to stop blaming ourselves. No it is the 80 thousand souless stadium that the NRL is forcing everyone to play out of, we need too smaller stadiums in Sydney. We have 3 codes all wanting to use two big stadiums, one is a 45 thousand rectangle, the other is a souless round 80 thousand white elephant.

So, the NRL has got that wrong, and until we get proper, rectangle, nice stadiums like Suncorp, we will struggle for crowds.
The other as i also pointed out is Monday nights.
Not only have they shafted the Sharks because all teams think its a great idea to take the Sharkies to Monday nights, they are killing off crowds, (no kiddies no Mummies, no daddies, no tourists) they are also sending your own club averages backwards and making the game look dead. I mean the way Monday nights are going, and the Sharks, nobody will be watching on TV either.
Thats it.

So you don't think the SFS is a good stadium for Rugby League?
What's your solution? Build more 20,000 capacity stadiums? Or perhaps go backwards and play games out of Leichardt? Kograh or Redfern again?

Anyone got the latest PAX for the Rabbitohs v Tigers game tonite?

I can buy tickets in 107 in practically the same position as monday/tuesday so it's a bit of a worry.

With all Souths season ticket holders shoved to the sides on Level 4 east it's not going to look pretty on TV.

im going tonight just got to work out whether i sit in the 400s or 100s

poor weather though, muggy and cloudy

Yikes! That is worse than my MCC or SCG/SFS membership! Should be half that at most!:crazy:

Not sure that you can even buy tix on level 4 east where the Rabbitohs members get to sit for this game...

I tried to buy some additional tickets as some of my friends wanted to come tonight and all i could buy was Level 1 reserved, no option at all to buy additional tickets on level 4.

Usually in the past you could buy additional seats so that friends could come too for these types of games but not this week.

Another great move by the NRL/Stadium Officials :roll: Now 3 of my friends don't want to come because they cant sit with us leaving the stadium even more empty :roll:

No it isn't- depends on the membership but tibia less than $500 per year obviously more for double membership. Either way that ANZ membership is a ripoff

 

[ek999]

SFS/SCG has a 12 year waitlist and annual fees of $1,100

 

[The Mad Hatter]

After my brief ban and having many of my posts deleted relating to tonights Souths and Tigers game, just be careful that not ALL Souths ticketed members have reciprocal access to the game.

My wife's ticket does not allow her access at all.

My two sons' have GA tickets so have to sit GA, whilst my ticket and my father in law's allows us access up to what I think is the 400 bay.

So, out of 4 people going, only 2 are scanning in cause I'm carrying my two small kids in with me and they will sit on our laps.

And you have to line up at 4am to get a seat in the Members for Test matches.

LOL! What a farce!

Me, I buy my tix in June/July and sit in the concourse. Pick my seat, guaranteed spot. Cost me $50 admission.

Yeah only the Premium and Plus memberships get you in. If you're planning to attend all games, unless you plan to go to the interstate games I dont know why you'd bother getting any other membership but the Plus membership.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

With littlies, my wife has had a full season ticket for the past 2 years and attended maybe 4-5 games a year due to scheduling conflicts.

Still, we buy the ticket.

This year it was a bit cheaper for her ticket without the reciprocal games, so we took that option.

only one league team, and a handful of games at the SCG

unless you're really into cricket, AFL and union it just doesnt add up

Yeah Good point. The same memberships went up in price this year too, I think I paid $320 last year, this year I think it was $375 or something like that.

Did it ever occur to you that you could all just sit in general admission seats?
