Wow that is cheap. To get even half decent tickets (two parents and two children) you need to pay $140 for the AFL.

Well the DT was pretty much spot on at 48k! Not a bad crowd, would have been nice to be in the 50's.

 

[Dangas]

What was the crowd at SFS out of curiosity?

 

[Tuco]

Was amazed how good the atmosphere was tonight. That extra 15k seems to make all the difference?

 

[Stencorp69]

SFS 19000

Poor for nrl

 

[bedford]

Who gives a F , we are off to the big one

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Had we played a Collingwood or Richmond tonight we might of gotten close to 60k.

But like Bedford said who gives a * next week at the MCG

 

[travelislife]

Ground actually looked in alright nick for once too and players weren't falling all over the place. Bring on the big one!

Am glad it was dry - surface was OK. More wins we can get at ANZ the better

Our finals record there is unbelievably good. Home and Away not so much.

48k is a decent turn out. Deserved 55+ after the season we've had but it wasn't bad.

Alot of noise through the first quarter, well done on those who showed up on creating a good atmosphere in a soulless stadium.

 

[Crackers27]

I thought it was a decent crowd - while 48k isn't huge it still created a good atmosphere (at least for ANZ)

 

[Swan Dive]

18,355 officially

I thought they'd get more than 30K. Not a flattering comparison.

 

[Tuco]

48k equals / beats any NRL prelims last year and likely this year, too.

Get the pricing right. Offer an allocation to local footy teams (like the Premiership club tickets for a GF ) which they can offer to their people all year if we or GWS qualify and drum up interest over the whole finals series.

Just do something. We have 25k people we need to get creative about finding to pad ANZ all year and in finals. Swans members are doing their bit. It's the rollup fans Melb easily finds that are the missing link up here.

$170 tickets doesn't cut it.

I think the AFL are maximising their revenue having these prices and a half full stadium versus prices half what they are and 75% full stadium. Shame about the atmosphere.

What would be the difference between Collingwood in 2012 on a fine night and North this year with possibility of rain?

I'm thinking of the 57,000 from 2012 that there would have been 12,000 there for Collingwood and 6,000 neutrals. I'd guess that North will only attract half of that so you are down to 48,000. That would be a good outcome. The worst outcome would be the 19,000 that we saw against North years ago when it was torrential rain all week and that day. If there's a few showers, I think we'll see 40,000.

Based on this there has been no real growth in Swans support despite the 2012 cup and Buddy but after last night I revise this. I think there were only 4,000 North supporters there??? 4,000 / 48,000 = 1 in 12. Pretty ordinary. I think I overestimated Collingwood and neutrals in 2012 as well. 9,000 less has got to be worrying someone.

piss poor crowd no matter how you look at it, where the f*** is everyone

 

[Sanecow]

Not sure what the fuss is about. It was a better crowd than Freo pulled against Port.
