AFL & NRL Crowds - 2026

[leeroy*NRL*]

it costs far less to go to anNRL finals games than it does a Dockers H&A game


For fans of the Roosters and Sharks headed to Allianz Stadium on Saturday night, a family of four can go and cheer on their team for just $59.

Footy's better when everyone's there so to help with the cost of living, it's just $59 for two adults and two children to be part of the unique atmosphere of a sudden-death semi-final. Single adult tickets start from $29.

Hang on - are you listing just Suncorp games? Is their overall average still placing them second for crowds? I think you would need to do both suncorp and Kayo stadiums to be fair.

[Fred]

So I did a quick search and got this for Dolphins home games - 23358 - that includes the Darwin game - so lets take that out as only wanting QLD crowds for comparison - and average is 24339.

This is home and away of course.

Lions averaged 31456 for home and away. My results say (need verifying) that Dolphinds only averaged 27520 at Suncorp for home and away?

i did 10 games at Suncorp which has included PRE LIM CROWD as i did With GABBA for Lions SEMI, (WOOKIE has not put that into his figures)

i was not doing just Home and Away

as the games they played at Kayo which was 2 and Darwin 1 were sold out but limited to 10k each
which will bring down the average quite alot and not show the true picture.


FRED like you used to do with SUNS crowd averages you would include the games played on the gold coast and not the games at DARWIN>>

when doing 10 games v 13 games vs the LIONS>

DOLPHINS have a bigger average when played at a BIG STADIUM to maximise crowd

if your just including H&A Lions win..
if your doing it SUNCORP v GABBA including Finals.. (1 final each) Dolphins win.

Dolphins playing 3 games at small stadiums really hurts there average.
but it is a Deal with Darwin. and 2 games for the locals at Redcliffe

I did take Darwin game out. But think you still have to include kayo. Even just Gabba for home and away lions get higher average. Didn’t check finals but will take you at your word

[makingnrlfansgowacko]

the lions are are playing in a stadium with a far lower capacity restricting the average, the dolphins are not except for kayo
