Crowd Watch, Part III

[franklin2323]

After reading the interview did you feel at all confident that anything that would actually have good results was happening to lower ticket prices or raise crowds? Lol, give Greenburg this muppets job and piss him off.

See I have confidence in Greenberg he will make a decision not Smith. He hasn't even started yet so his boss can hardly say we are going to do this. He got Greenberg to sort this stuff out. The fact he knows there is a problem is a start.

IMO all GA tickets should be like $10 adults. $5 kids let reserved be as is. What impact will that have on the clubs financially? How will a banker know? Greenberg as a club CEO will know

Article in today's Telegraph saying 23,000 have been sold and they are expecting 50k+

I would assume that figure would include Souths season ticket holders.

Sarcasm doesnt really translate over the internet. This is a joke, right?

I would think Greenberg will encourage clubs to do similar things as the bulldogs are by having presale discounts to lock people attending before the event. Once this is in place across all clubs the nrl could possibly then use some of there contra to advertise these discounts when available.

With the tigers apparently shifting to ANZ next year it will be a boon for crowds I think. it will mean Souths, Tigers, Doggies and Parra can sell memberships guaranteeing entry to both sets of members to 12 fixtures. If the scheduling and marketing is done right it could be a breakthrough in crowds we need to go to the next level

I would like to see these games played on Good Friday, Queens birthday, 1 on opening round sunday arvo for a start.

Be good if Bulldog's/Wstiger's and Parramatta would just have ANZ full time but what about Penrith and Shouldn't go to the SFS alongside St.George.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Not at bloody Gosford.

I didn't even check that out - wtf. That sucks.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

26k tickets have been sold to Souths v Roosters apparently

 

[BunniesMan]

We'll get 50,000 in for round 26 if the weather is good.

 

[CC_Roosters]

We'll get 50,000 in for round 26 if the weather is good.

Still can't see it. 50k in Sydney requires the perfect scheduling and conditions, i.e on good Friday we had a public holiday, good weather, huge amount of people in the vicinity and 2 clubs coming off great seasons. Otherwise a club legend retiring with free entry for NRL club members usually gets it over 40k

Round 26 might well be 1 v 2 but it is on a Friday night with all the usual commuting problems associated with that spot in Sydney. I limit it to 35k allowing for a full turnout by Souths members, walkups and 5k of our fans.

Just being realistic as I think any talk of 50k is laughable although I will gladly be proved wrong in this case

We? You're not attending anything.

 

[Perth Red]

Have Bulldogs decided what they will do with having to move their Rd25 Penrith game? Would draw another 20,000 crowd in Perth.

 

[ByRd]

No thanks, we've already taken two games away from home this year plus we play on Thursday at Brisbane in the last round!! Just move it to Thursday night

 

[Dogs Of War]

At 5:30pm it wouldn't. No way Channel 9 is showing that as the second game on a Friday night.

 

[Jason Maher]

As if a shift to the other side of the country could be organised in such a time frame. Would be grossly unfair to all those who have already bought tickets.

 

[Valheru]

If the crowd is 50k or over it will be because of south’s fans of course. Anything less will be the roosters fault.

There was an interview of David Smith about crowds yesterday in the Tele. Read the whole thing and still have no idea what they are trying to do to raise crowds, the bloke never answers a f**king question straight, absolute nuffy.

It wasn't so much of an interview as it was just Dean Ritchie saying ticket prices are too high over and over again.

To which Dave had no good answers.

 

[Swarzey]

Warm night and considering our form, expecting 17k+ at Hunter.

 

[Billythekid]

It's not exactly freezing but it's definitely not a warm night. Still hoping for a similar crowd, looking forward to it tonight.
