It's not ideal but the ability to sell an additional 20k seats will probably swing it somewhat. I've sat in the MCG's nosebleeds for Origin, honestly no worse than the top deck at Accor. Both are ordinary, miles from the action.
If they can sell 100k tickets at mcg they’d be daft not to use it. That’s a $4mill difference To Accor. Same reason it won’t be at optus despite it being the best quality stadium.
Nobody cares about union in Melbourne though
It’s a major event, it’ll sell out wherever its held. all about the revenue. End of day it’s tickets, corporates plus hosting fee. Whichever adds up most will likely get it.
That is why it is worth more to Melbourne/Vic govt - half the crowd will travel from interstate. Have it in Sydney and most of the crowd is local, hence not spending on hotels/restaurants, etc. SO Vic gov will pay up. MCG sounds confident - they said they will delay the knock/down rebuild of the Shane Warne stand until after the 2027 WC.
See above, whichever adds up to most $’s will likely host. I’d imagine nsw govt will go hard for it but they didn’t care about the RLWC so maybe not?
did you miss the bit about it being more than just ticket Amount? Also about corporate sales and hosting fee.
That will have been nearly a 1/4 of a century ago by the time the 2027 final comes around , & in that time the chorus of criticism & disapproval for homebush has reached new heights , its not a word class venue , it just isn't
where are the 100K stadiums in the rest of the rugby world ?
I could , if nothing meaningful is done to accor , then watch it go.
Let the aru negotiate with the nsw govt for a roof if they get the final lmao
