Dave T Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 1 hour ago, Copa said: Early in the week they said 130,000 tickets had been sold and more than half were multi day passes. Can that even be possible? (Genuine question?) That would mean at least 195k attendance over 4 days. Havent they had 17k, 41k and 41k? 99k. Meaning the most they can get is 149k. Edit. So it meant 130k total I assume, apologies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New stadium in Perth would be good.

Rawschach Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Enjoying it - great stadium to watch them play in and a couple of the games have been really good. Best bit for us English fans is being able to watch every game on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brisbane decision is bizarre then, surely use it as a home game so they aren't advantaged. I believe the "home" teams get a share of the ticket income as if they actually were at home.

This is the third year in succession that Manly have played their home game against Brisbane at Suncorp. The previous two years the game was part of a double header the other two teams involved Melbourne who also sacrificed a home game and Gold Coast.

Rupert Prince Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 10 hours ago, The Partisan said: By the way if not noticed before, 7 of the 8 games are Sydney based teams v non - Sydney based teams. Traditionally these are the games that attract lower crowds in Sydney, whereas here in a festival format the games are well supported. Seems sensible. Australia of course is continental sized country so it would make it a stretch for all the fans from the east to go to the West in Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is by the way, but this is a comp that is far more popular than SL playing in an RL hotbed. Has a super league magic weekend gotten 41k on a single day?

hutch Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Brisbane government paid the nrl $2.1 million a year for the first 2 years of it and the “home” teams will apparently pocket $270k each to give up a home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 2 hours ago, hutch said: Has a super league magic weekend gotten 41k on a single day? 68k over 2 days at Newcastle is the record. The average weekly attendance in the NRL so far this year has been a bit over 129k. So the magic weekend in Brisbane will be slightly better attended than a normal round of matches, and SL Magic weekend also gets slightly more than a normal round of matches.

RayCee Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I've noticed that the a crowd number is counted for each match and they vary quite a bit. In the UK, it’s a total figure per day. So when I tabulate the UK attendances for a season, the MW is added to the total and becomes part of the the total average but isn’t applied to the club average. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

I don't know how they would know per match figures. It would be total tickets sold per day unless they know how many left the stadium in between matches there would be no idea on the numbers per match. Peter Beattie has been inflating some of the figures as he would. Talent is secondary to whether players are confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's come out and said he's not in it for the long haul. He's there to make changes, ruffle some feathers and leave. I think it's great. Otherwise you have these career administrators that only make decisions on what it will mean for their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought a ticket for the day as they were sold you could walked in and out several times I would have thought. Not wanting to be a crowd pessimist but I am surprised at the figures they appear optimistic from what I saw on TV. We were going to go and watch Parra v Storm (thank god we didn't) but the pricing did not work to watch just the one game as we had no interest in being there all day for three games.

If those figures are accurate Was the Clubs costs in Travel, Accommodation and expenses factored into the numbers? I am not a fan of this concept, it looked half arsed and for a local it was expensive to attend, I only wanted to see my team play another team I would not normally see in Brisbane, the ticketing prices for the worst seat in the house were significantly more expensive than seeing Parramatta V Brisbane.
