Boxing Day Crowd Prediction

[Astro_]

1-1 is a real possibility now which is a massive boost to the series.

What do people think the Boxing Day crowd will be?

83,900

 

[SJ]

Depends on the weather come Boxing Day morning. I saw the forecast for Christmas Day is perfect and warm, hopefully Boxing Day is similar. The match four years ago (with the prospect of Warne's 700th wicket) lost the first session or so to rain, I think that prevented a world record Test cricket crowd - didn't make it over 90,000.

 

[OzBomber]

I think the MCC will let us down once again. But there really should be 90,000 there especially if we win. I reckon we'll get 86,000.

I think it's officially a sell out for day 1.

IF there's empty spots in the Member's stands you need to kick those knobs out. Sick of seeing that crap.

This is funny. What about the people in the general public who have seats but don't show up? That is ok?

Massive crowd

2010 Grand Final II was a disgraceful effort by the MCC members.

 

[TheStinger]

Lots.


6 big crowds

Yeah, because that's a widespread problem...

 

[SJ]

Yeah, because that's a widespread problem...

What's the difference?

How many times per year is the MCG full apart from the MCC?

Unfortunately it isn't just the MCC members who don't turn up, the WACA members never seem to turn up.

I went to that match and it was also about -20 degrees, we traveled over with just shorts and shirts and nearly died haha. At 1-1 and the boys up and about you would hope 90k plus... CA need to do the right thing too if Ponting is out and bring in White or Hodge and make them captain just to pump the Vics up!

 

[ronnie1234]

I'll say 85,000 - 90,000, if we win tomorrow

Hoping there'll be tickets on day 1 though

Been wanting to go to this test match all year

 

[SJ]

Day 1 is not quite sold out - just checked on Ticketek and Gold tickets are still available.

 

[AG]

MCC members are awesome. I'll probably go now.

The Brisbane Cricket Ground members didn't turn up to the Ashes and there were a lot of good empty seats!

Should be 90,000 people for Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test!

 

[stmookeyj]

I know I will be there.

 

[OzBomber]

Day 1 is not quite sold out - just checked on Ticketek and Gold tickets are still available.

I'd be surprised if they were still there by Christmas Eve. Is AFL members part of the public tickets? You'd think that'd be sold out. It's up to the MCC again.

 

[beez]

I know I will be there.

+1

Going to be epic

 

[Johnson#26]

Will there be any walk up seating in the Great Southern Stand? In particular on level one?

 

[raikkonen]

Im heading over on an early flight for Boxing Day. If theres anything less than 95,000 there - assuming the weather is good - it should be considered disappointing IMO given our return to form, and the series level at 1-1. Cant wait for next weekend, I just hope Tiger don't f*** up the flight over in the morning otherwise heads will roll!

 

[eddiesmith]

About 5 times what there was at any other day so far in this series

 

[Cousin Jed]

170,000?
