Crowd Watch 2014

[Timmah]

Sharks didn't have any fans at ANZ, not sure what's doing there. They at least had SOME at Gosford last April :?

Monday night, it is ANZ....and the Sharks were dreadful Round 1 with all their 'Stars' out. The crowd was basically as I expected. Poor timeslot, two teams who played pretty bad round 1...

Tigers coming off a win will surely want to show their support and should bring 10k themselves. Tbh I think it should be getting closer to 30k if not over but reducing my expectations a bit. I think panthers and dogs on sat should definately crack 15k. 4.30pm time slot is very convenient (after kids sports) and panthers are going well plus dogs usually always fill up one of the hills there. Should be a very good crowd I think.

Friday night is not that user friendly for a better word, it is a long way to ANZ. I expect it in the high teens, maybe 21k at most. Normally I agree on Saturday, the baseball will make a fair few stay away unfortunately!

Apart from the end 2 bays in the Grandstand all reserved seating is sold out for Penrith on Sat arvo

So who actually gets access. Is it only souths reserved seat members or is it any member with a full season ticket reserved or GA?

Souths have a deal with the Tigers, Dragons and Bulldogs this season as these teams either permanently play at ANZ stadium or they take their home game against either the Rabbitohs or Bulldogs to ANZ as the Tigers have done with the Rabbitohs this season.

So in this instance Souths supporters get free access in "Away Supporters' Aisles, so it's only for Souths supporters.

GA members still sit in the GA area and Reserved season ticket holders are usually thrown up to Level 4, sometimes right to the side in the anticipation that somehow from somewhere 40,000 supporters will turn up.:roll:

Fantastic news!

 

[franklin2323]

Fantastic news!

Sure is. We know the hills and GA seats are usually pretty full it's the reserved we can never seem to sell. Will look great as the boys run out to have people rather then seats

 

[guyver78]

Who does the NRL think they are ? They are not promoting the superbowl here.... Just let them sit wherever the hell they want why shove them all to the end bays of an empty tier...

There is gonna be 40000 empty seats on the lower bowl... FMD why is it so hard

This is why I have very little sympathy for them when you see empty bays and Aisles. No offense to the Tigers but 40,000 people are NOT going to turn up to watch Braith Anasta play, it's just not going to happen.

When will the NRL and clubs learn their lesson.

 

[guyver78]

ANZ stadium decides that not the NRL.

and bay 400 are very good seats

rewarding the members if anything

You sure about that??? So ANZ stadium sets up all the categories for clubs who play their home games there?

ANZ pays clubs to pay there so i assume they would control ticketing. they are the ones who collect all ticket revenue up to crowds of 20k

and id much rather sit anywhere in the 400s than say past the try line.

they are doing members a favour giving them those good seats.

Fantastic news!

Not bad. Any idea what crowd to expect?

Atleast 15k

So Rabbitohs have monetised something that used to be or is free?

 

[Lee Eel]

They've made the season ticket cheaper if you don't want the ANZ games.

If you get the ANZ games option it's practically the same price as 2013.

 

[georgesnmith]

Just found out that ANZ Stadium members can buy an nrl season pass for their friends which covers all games bar origins, semis, GF.

the cost is $105 for member seats in section 400s

2 costs $185

Bargain.

he just means by have automatic renewals for season tickets they get less people not renewing so make more money.

Thats good stuff. Might get a few more Doggies fans then normal after their monday night performance.

Anyone know what Penriths biggest home crowd was last season? From memory I cant think of any big ones.

Would it be possible for Penrith to match there 03/04 attendence within the next 2-3 years. The potential is there in my opinion, a combination of a strong Eels, Bulldogs, Panthers, Cowboys, Broncos, Souths and Newcastle would do wonders crowd wise.

In 03, Penrith getting 4 20k crowds is phenomenal considering it's one of the smaller NRL clubs in the competition but has alot of untapped potential.
