Surprise, surprise. People in Sydney are taking about NRL. Tomorrow’s big discussion on TripleM Melbourne ‘people are talking about AFL’.

I think it's fair to say, in the previous 2 weeks, we haven't seen the same movement of seats, compared to last year. Could still change with a few days to go, but think we're only seeing 250-300 sales per day max. So unlikely to get to 55-60k. Feels a little silly to have level 1 seats in the Camera Arc still available this close to kick-off. Would want these filled by existing fans and not people who may only come for a game or two.

Finally got around to filling out the model I created last year (Bit more data to work with now) - Still had to do quite a few estimates and also will be thrown off if they're holding many/any seats back in areas that I think have sold. Have done my best to estimate 327 - 347.

Level 1 -


Level 2 -


Level 3 -


Level 4 - (No sales)


Estimated Total Sales below, based on publicly available information.



I'd be fairly confident even with error - that we're between 44-48k sold now.

I think it's fair to say we haven't seen the same movement of seats up to this point, compared to last year. Could still change with a few days to go, but think we're only seeing 250-300 sales per day max.

Maybe NRL were giving away tickets this time last year?!

I think they were doing 4 tickets for $19, so pretty cheap. Compared to this year, $29 for 1, being the cheapest. So doing well to still beat last year and charge more. I still would like them to run a promotion to try to get a few more locals in to check it out. Doesn't have to be that cheap, but something would be good. 2 for $29 for LV Raiders members(?) would be good.

You're welcome.

This is an incredible exchange of thoughts between two men with 3.5 braincells between them.

I think if we sell out up to the top tier, then Thursday just hit the streets with $5 tickets for the entire top tier. The $5 is almost nothing to spend but worth going to see what it bought.. can't call them give always.. some of those might like what they see.. looks great for TV and atmosphere.. creates a fomo for next year ..
Can't see too much downside.

Makes sense, the bulk of attendees would have already purchased tickets given they are flying in, and you can't expect many walk ups.

As mentioned by others, the crowd is going to likely look sparse at times given how long the day is.

Who’s going to sit there for over 8hrs, noone. It’s going to look similar to last years game the majority of the time I feel, maybe even less populated.

I don’t really get this strategy. On one hand the nrl are trying to hype this game and sell tickets so it looks pretty full and looks great for US FTA TV. Then on the other hand they schedule a full day of games which would ensure the stadium will never have all ticket holders seated at any one time and therefore look sparse.

Especially when Vegas is on your doorstep.

Guaranteed there will be Aussies that don't even turn up, and keep partying on at Caesars etc.

f**k I know I would be tempted, especially if you are there with mates.

Maybe already mentioned earlier in the thread, but what is the thinking with not allowing people to leave and come back in? It's not as if they can sell your seat again when you leave. The only downside is you give your ticket to someone else to watch their team if you leave the ground as you are not interested in the other games but how much would that take place and organisers missing out on a sale?

Would be even worse if they allowed people to leave and come back because then for sure the stadium will look empty. People will watch a game and skip the next one then come back. At least this way it encourages people to stick around.

Could backfire though and people might just leave anyway after a game.

I think the strategy is they want the crowd to be at its greatest when the game is shown on fta fox sports in America. The Raiders v Warriors game will be the highlight of the day, crowdwise.

The English fans will hang around for that game and many Aussie fans will probably start their day with that game.

Nice to see Woods contributing off the field after so many years of doing f**k all on it.

How dare you. He contributed on the field.

I mean look at this historic contribution from Woods that's forever been immortalised -

I think you overcounted their combined brain cells by 3

Would corporates and stadium members be in addition to this ?

Sky sports England been pushing it too

Super league will get a boost from this

Wonder if it rates more close to the super league grand final which is around 300 to 350k. Late time slot wont help
