The crowd

[PARRACHILEAN]

Hello Fellow parra fans who believes telstra will have more than 50k people on saturday night. Unfortunaetly monetary restrictions has prevented me going but i will be going to the leagues club and watch it there.


What does everyone think????

 

[COACH STERLING]

The last I heard there were 30 thousand tickets pre-sold

 

[The Colonel]

I think you need to bludge some money of your mates and get to the football.....

 

[MarkInTheStands]

The Kennel is reporting PAX numbers in the 35,000. So with Telstra Stadium Memberships and the X Seats, I think you can safely say we are over 40,000.

 

[COACH STERLING]

40K? We're heading more towards a crowd of 60K then.

 

[ouwet]

Been reported that 38,000 tickets have been sold (Including corporates)...

Nrl are hopeful of 60,000 +.

They're already selling tickets for the top tiers which are never opened for normal games.

The noise factor will be fully sik. I swear to god !!

Imagine a full sell out. This is worthy of a GF in it's own right.

Abbreviation of passengers (from airline and shipping industries) now used to indicate number of tickets where 1 ticket = 1 person/passenger.

Well, with approximately 40 000 tickets confirmed, and another couple of days to go before the game, pre-match sales may reach 45 - 48 000.
It will then be interesting to see what sort of roll up crowd turns up on top of pre-sales.
This is an extraordinary number of pre-sales.
There'd only need to be another 10 or so thousand of walk ups to reach the magical 60 000 mark.
Quite astonishing really.

Given these two sides have the biggest supporter base of the Sydney sides - not entirely astonishing.

I would be disappointed if they didn't get 60k. There is no reason why it shouldn't happen. If this game can't get that sort of crowd then it will never happen (except GF)

It's astonishing considering that the 60 000 mark has NEVER been reached for a semi-final.

It's true that "we only come when we're winning"

 

[Clarkieel]

not all of us Utey!! I remember the early 90s!!

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Pity really, with any decent marketing by the NRL... by them making out that this game was the place to be, an 'event'. We could have sold out, what a statement that wouldve been!

But we never had a ground big enough to do that? And since 99 when the stadium opened there have actually been very few finals between good drawing Sydney teams.

I know what you are saying though.
Yes we should get 60 000 - no excuses really.

It's just nice to see though, don't you reckon?

BTW, I was at the 1977 Grand Final (the draw) and the crowd was 65 959, so there WAS a ground big enough.
