RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

[Billythekid]

Campbelltown will be sold out! ? However the Auckland ground holds more people. Maybe its giving Sydney fans a bit more of a taste of international footy?

Does it need to be a triple header? I feel like matchups like Tonga v Somoa should be outgrowing the need to be played as a double or triple header. It does the game a disservice as well because for 2 of the 3 games the ground will be mostly empty.

30,003 the official crowd

 

[Disinterested third party]

Yep no one cares.

Agree. Wasn't aware it was a tripple header!? Organisers could have easily placed a double header or two games separately elsewhere? (PNG? NZ, Fiji etc)

Yep no one cares.

well the 22,000 in Brisbane would indicate most Australians don't yes
don't cry about it though

A potential 30000 voted with their lounge chairs by not paying entry into an overpriced event!

if they cared they would have attended
they'll pay $400 to attend origin or our GF

Its different for international rugby league. Small steps for big steps later on. The potential is there. The world cup marketing did not read the Aussie public right. Those prices were way off the mark!

Hard to disagree with that. Surely someone must be looking at getting Tonga playing in NZ again as soon as possible.

Not only that but throw in Samoan Fijian and Lebanese fans and surely we could get 30k at Allianz for this.

 

[thorson1987]

Crowd at Mt Smart was 30003.

 

[Burns]

Okay

Now can we sell out the Final?

 

[Clifferd]

I'm expecting mid 40s for the final tbh. You'd hope it would sell out tho

Yes. A great idea! They do sell the international game short these schedulers.

If they decide for reasonable priced tickets they will fill it! Let's see what they do!? So far they have consistently got it wrong in Australia.

IMO would have been more of a chance of selling out if Tonga got through.

 

[KokoRugbyLeague]

The game next week will be a foregone conclusion so the fan support won't be their. They killed the golden goose Tonga what a mistake but those origin lovers are licking their lips. If Tonga had gone to the final next week well RLWC would finally be a legit world game. England and Australia won't be a contest.

neither opponent would have gotten to within 30 of the Kangaroos

 

[Stallion]

The English were unlucky against the Kangaroos in the opener. Today they were in control in a good game of footy for 72minutes. Looking forward to the final. Just hope they dont rip people off to attend this game. The womens final will be on as well. So a good nights entertainment coming up in Brisbane.

Damn the rules

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Any Pom on tour would already have a ticket and would have gone anyway. Tonga winning adds every Tongan in Brisbane to the crowd. So a bad result for the crowd. There is minimal latent Pom support around. Maybe if the poms win the cricket a few people might go for the prospect of a reverse result.
