2025 Non AFL Attendance, TV, Finance etc

[kranger]

Yeah nothing to do with the fact one GF was played Sunday night primetime and the other was played on a Saturday arvo.

It’s interesting how it suggests a similar level of penetration. What are the percentages in other Metro areas?

How many in SEQ were watching the Bledisloe Cup which was on at the same time as the AFL GF?

I thought the AFL metro numbers weren’t released without paying $800. Does that post contain the data for the other Metro’s for the AFL?

That will pique the interest of some young kids, and beg a parent to take them along to a game

Expecting decent crowds this summer in Perth

“Mr Stephenson said he was also encouraged by early demand for the Australia-India one day international, which will be held on October 19 at Optus Stadium.

“The latest figure I’ve got is 40,000 – for an ODI in October, I think that’s incredible,” he said”

In regards to the Cricket. There is an article doing the rounds.

700 000 tickets sold for this summer across men's and women's internationals.

White ball games vs India.

Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra all sold out. Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane close to sell outs.

A staggering 700,000 tickets have been snapped up this summer. Here’s what it means for cricket’s bottom line

Cricket Australia posted a $5.1 million loss when England last toured in 2021-22. It’s going to be a very different story this time around.

And thats why India has a deathgrip on control of the game.

A League/Union hybrid match that switches to the other codes' rules once you cross the half way line?
Wow that sounds seriously weird.

This is sometimes proposed at professional level but I cant see how the scrums would be managed

Don't beleive a lot of the premier league or NFL attendances. All their attendances are based off tickets sold, not people in the stadium.

Football club attendances: Are fans getting the full picture?

Arsenal's official attendance figures have often been questioned, but Manchester City and West Ham are among other clubs whose published figures differ from police and council numbers.

Football clubs should stop exaggerating their attendance figures

Clubs and leagues want to look popular, attract sponsors and justify government investment, but they shouldn’t lie to fans

Fair enough. A bit like people questioning the home crowd numbers given out for some of our clubs crowd numbers partically GWS and the GC.

I mean every Australian city has a very, very substantial Indian expat community.

Crowd today for ODI in Perth was 42,423 which was pretty good considering the weather I think it was about 6 rain interruptions….

The crowd split was 80/20 to the Indians I reckon.

The weather wasn't that bad that people with tickets wouldn't have rocked up.

But yeah there was absolutely no hype for this at all outside the Indian community seemingly.

Pretty obvious that there has been little hype about Australia's ODI games since CA thought it was a good idea to take them off FTA TV.

Cricket and league in this country had a lot of close ties in the early years and league has been using that name since 1908.

A century of humiliation then

Not less humiliating than how we name an All-Australian team without anyone to play against.

Picking a ceremonial best team at the end of the season makes perfect sense.

Co-opting The Ashes from cricket does not is about the same level as giving every scandal the -gate suffix
