Amazing stadium, dog of a game! I tried when I got to perth but after three eagles games I couldn’t go again lol. The local nrlwa comp is ok and a good Saturday afternoon amateur level for some beer and RL natter If you end up near a Local club.

I got family in Warrington, unfortunately they don't follow "egg ball", they all Man City fans. Was a decent place though, i've been to much worse places in England lol

If more people subscribe to Foxtel/Kayo to watch rugby league then why does AwFuL always get more money from Murdoch?

Either we're getting ripped off or the ratings are fabricated.

What possible reason could justify the discrepancy?

As AFL is more friendly to broadcasters, what I mean by that is has 4 quarters compared to 2 halves so more time to run ads, also on Free To Air they run ads after every try in NRL and goal in AFL there are like 20 plus goals in a game to NRL 5-7 trys so more time to run ads.

I might be wrong but is Destination NSW paying for A-League Grand Finals to be held in Sydney. And if so does it matter that is government money?

Foxtel don't run advertising during live play.

No but an AFL game broadcasts for a longer time frame and offers more opportunity to show adds on both FTA and pay TV.

In an NRL game on fox, they can show 2 lots of ads at half time. In an AFL game that expands to at least 4 counting the quarter breaks. The length of halftime means they might get a 3rd in at that point.

Found an old article, don’t know how accurate it is after a pandemic and all but gives a good idea. Surprised the NRL get more than the AFL for a GF ad placement.

TV Advertising Spots For NRL And AFL Set To Skyrocket

A 30 second ad during a sports game could be more lucrative than Kanye West's fart in a bottle.

www.bandt.com.au

The Seven and Nine networks executives are plotting to smack media buyers with huge price hikes after both networks forked out huge investments in new sports broadcast rights deals.

Both Channel Nine and Channel Seven have recently signed massive sports deals. News Corp, Telstra and Seven West Media signed a monster $2.5 billion six-year deal for AFL rights. On the other side of the sports field, Channel Nine secured the rights to the NRL until 2022 with a reported $925 million deal.

According to The Australian both Channel Nine (NRL) and Channel Seven (AFL) are set to introduce a price rise of about 30 per cent, taking the average cost of a 30 second ad during AFL or NRL match up to $39,000, from $30,000.

For an ad during the AFL and NRL grand final, once the new sport deals begin in 2017 and 2018, advertisers can expect to fork out an estimated $130,000 and $175,500 respectively.

Sales bosses from Seven and Nine declined to comment on the price hike, but both said the commercial model needed to change to accommodate the terms of the new deals.

NRL rates better and has a much more massive impact with 55% of the population. The fact that our TV deals are constantly lower is criminal and a blight on our administration going back since TV deals first became a big deal.

the hard truth of it is they have more space to sell to advertisers than we do. They have reach into 5 metro's, while we have 3. Their game has more ad breaks than ours as well. The 55/45 or whatever split it is doesn't mean shit to advertisers.

How many 30 second commercials are broadcast during a rugby league and fumbleball game?

Each commercial is worth $30k. We'll have to watch an AwFuL and NRL game in Rd 1 to see how many ads are screened, then calculate the difference.

How do you know the individual cost of each commercial during each game? My understanding is they buy block deals across various time slots during the week.

I saw it mentioned as the average cost for a 30 second commercial in a couple of articles.

No idea what the average is and this would differ between FTA and Pay TV.

I will say, the only AFL game I watched on FTA this year was the GF and they crammed a tonne of ads in during play to the point it was annoying, certainly the NRL GF didn't have as many minute for minute. I'm not sure if that is the typical situation week to week though.
