Crowd Watch, Part III

[Perth Red]

Very little talk of storm going sub 20k last night

I remember finals in the mid 30s at docklands

That should of sold out last night

Behind the sticks were full, sidelines empty, hmmmm anything to do with ticket prices I wonder?

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Yeah it all stopped because we pretty much sold out the SFS in advance of the tigers qualifying for the prelim in 2005.

No one expected Wests to make it so their fans didn't prebook.

Yeah i remember the complaints from Tigers fans about the tickets. But surely they could of put around 40K tickets on sale for the Souths game last week, that leaves another 40K for whoever the opposition would have been.

Same with the SFS, put the Roosters bays on sale and save tickets for the opposition bays a week later.

 

[BunniesMan]

19k in Melbourne was poor. What will their crowds be like when they are bottom 8.

 

[Diesel]

Are you going to Friday nights game Bunniesman?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Totally agree pricing was outrageous in Melbourne

They need to have set prices for each week no matter the ground

If Newcastle got a home final, the prices could be $200 a ticket

As it would have the strongest s/d quotient

 

[Brutus]

19k in Melbourne was poor. What will their crowds be like when they are bottom 8.

14k average

 

[Perth Red]

19k in Melbourne was poor. What will their crowds be like when they are bottom 8.

14k which will still make them better supported than six Sydney clubs this year.

19k in Melbourne is terrible even more so when you consider that there was no afl game played in the city on saturday either

 

[knights22]

Anyone have an idea on what prices will be like for the knights game?

pretty cheap. $85 cat 1, $60 cat 2, etc. these are members prices

of course if they aren't selling well you'll get them basically free by Friday.

 

[the1]

Start posting PAX numbers for this weekends games please

 

[supercharger]

I can guarantee pirates in a finals game is going to draw more than 10k RL fans to nib!

Of course the buccos could attract more than 10k to a playoff game, otherwise this city doesn't deserve a license, they are pretty good front runners here as well. but when was the last time that any team in the NRL attracted less than 10k to a finals fixture? Why 10k? nobodies that bad

Manly v cronulla - 23k, Two Sydney teams minus stadium members and neutrals = 10k a team showing up.

 

[Sydney Knight]

Sid Foggs bus company were open yesterday in Newcastle to sell packages so they must have got there allocation early.

A fair few knights supporters will already have tickets through this channel before they go on sale this morning.

Apparently they have already sold seats for 29 buses

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

29 busses is about 1500 people. Would imagine a few more than that will drive or catch a train plus 1-2k Sydney based fans. So looking at a minimum of about 5k knights fans.

Manly v cronulla - 23k, Two Sydney teams minus stadium members and neutrals = 10k a team showing up.

I was at the game, it felt like there was about 55% Sharks 45% Manly supporters.

Sharks had quite a few more supporters there.

Just bought my tickets to the Souths v Manly game. My god, on first click i got allocated Aisle 108 but only row 6 so i thought i'll cancel this to get something higher.

Next best available was Aisle 104 so i got screwed. Rabbitohs members tickets are selling like hotcakes to this game. All the $20 seats were gone in 2 minutes. Whole lower level 1 Cat 1 eastern side is already sold out. Level 4 is selling fast at the moment.

Yeah, damn annoying.

I was able to score 4 $20 tickets at about 6pm on Monday when we played Storm.
Tried to get the same at 10:10am and they're already sold out :x

Might just have to settle with GA
