NSW Waratahs v Fijian Drua - Fri 28 Feb 2025 7:30pm Allianz Stadium

[Heavyd]

Looking at ticketek availability current crowd looks like being around 12500-13000 for Friday night. With all the talk about best start to Super Rugby in years, exciting game. more tries, allegedly 10% increase in TV ratings, it all means little to RA if the crowds aren't showing up to games paying their hard earned spinning the turnstyles. What else should they be doing to market these games? What are they doing to encourage Shute Shield and Subbies clubs who are in preseason to encourage them to go? What about SRJU, what offer to families are out there? Once the NRL starts Sunday you wont hear boo about Super Rugby so the window to build momentum is closing. What am I missing or am i way off the mark?

I’m revising my crowd estimate up for tonight to 16-17k with the potential for further upside. Ticketek have opened a bay in the Eastern stands 2nd level which means the $25 bucker GA tickets are selling like hot cakes and they need some additional capacity.

GA tickets. are the go, but we never go to the seats, we just stand on the concourse in front of a bar

 

[barbarian]

I was surprised how affordable good seats were. We're pretty much on halfway for $60 each, which is pretty good in this economy.

A burger, chips and a few beers will likely cost more than the seats themselves.

 

[Heavyd]

Had a look at the Western Force tickets. Geezus, $90 and drops from there. Think they may be getting their price points wrong if they want to attract the intermittent fan.

Makes the 6000 crowd seem about right then.

Gleesons acceleration off the mark is impressive for a big unit

That's diabolical from Tupou

 

[LeCheese]

God I love how Burkey just calls it how he sees it, warts and all

 

[Major Tom]

That's diabolical from Tupou

It was also not onside by that drua player

 

[Wilson]

Much better than the last lineout play, leaning on the stronger carriers

 

[Dctarget]

That's diabolical from Tupou

Got the turnover for the Tahs try tho

 

[Wilson]

It was also not onside by that drua player

How was he offside, there was no ruck

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Can’t be offside then but in defence they’re never onside.

It’s ok though because it’s how they play….

 

[Heavyd]

No more fuxking box kicks!

 

[Major Tom]

How was he offside, there was no ruck

Deffs a ruck. It was quick. Tupou just didn’t place it properly. Drua bloke never onside.
