Vegas Again/2025 and WCC

[The Rocket]

The 15 000 tickets sold mark for last year`s Vegas venture occurred on October 19, the same mark was reached on August 3 this year, with continuing sales since.

Unlike last year Bays 304 - 308 have been put on sale.

In further good news there has been significant corporate box sales, with all Level 1 corporate lounges already sold-out.

As was remarked on the Australian forum, whilst the Vegas venture may not yet have had the success desired on the gambling side of things, it appears that it is becoming another ticket/ corporate sales Magic Round type premium event.

Is that the aim of the venture, to tap into the gambling market? I'd assumed it was to get a television deal

No initially all the talk was about cashing in on the booming American sports gambling market. I think there was some talk about then selling the viewing rights to the particular gambling company they struck an agreement with.

The problem that always struck me with this was time zones, however as V`;andys said repeatedly, even a very small percentage of the gambling market in the U.S. equates to tens of millions of dollars.

I`ve no doubt they haven`t given up on their original plan, and you`d have to think that if they can turn this initial event into an annual sell-out that is broadcast on prime-time Fox FTA then building the sports wagering side of the venture may still eventuate.

If they can get to the break-even point, then the sky's the limit and they could continue to build support indefinitely. This kind of continued promotion could lead anywhere.

That wouldn’t seem like a good option to the NSW and QLD fans who support their local States

Una tantum could work.
