Will be up next week. Despite games in NZ, canberra and brisbane.

Yes Dave AFL is struggling with crowds ???? And the nrl are going gang busters . Maybe the AFL should look at the nrl as an example of getting large crowds at games .

Picking and choosing what games you want to talk about again Raiderdave, 4500 to a Rep match no other matches on in a country town - where we're told they live and breath RL and arn't the excuses now coming think n fast http://www.nrl.com/plea-to-retain-nsw-c ... fault.aspx. Meanwhile the Swans passed the NRL rep game (4800), but in the NAB pre season comp http://www.austadiums.com/sport/event.php?eventid=11790. In a game nothing was riding on - shows how full of BS Raiderdave is. Now Swans v St.Kilda will play in NZ another supposed home and what is the prediction http://i.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/spor ... no-problem. I think the most important part of the article was this bit
"More than 19,500 tickets have been sold, and more than 4000 Australians are heading to Wellington for the match."

Raiderdave more than 19500 tickets already sold! With two more days to go that Kangaroos v Kiwi clash crowd might be in jeopardy of looking just as bad as city v country! The ground holds 36k so we might so a full stadium with almost 2/3rds tickets already sold. Hows that Nrl game going thats on the same day Raiderdave? You are such an handballing assbandit Raiderdave!

sellouts for every game they have played in Australia since 2010
venues

Melbourne ANZAC test 2010
Gold Coast ANZAC test 2011
Newcastle end of year test 2011
Townsville end of year test 2012
Canberra ANZAC test 2013

3 sellouts for SOO in 2012 .... Melb , Sydney ... Brisbane
3 more for 2013 assured

I thought they weren't sellouts if there were spare seats? Or does that ****** logic only apply to AFL games?

Raiderdave by the way they said 19500 tickets sold not given away - unless you can show evidence to the contrary I guess 19500 people PAID for tickets! NRL home territory under threat AGAIN!

Be interesting to see if the NRL crowds hold up this weekend, with games in Melbourne, Far north Qld, Gold coast and all of the low drawing teams have homes including the Tigers, Panther, Sharks, Sea Eagles and the Roosters.

Why on Earth are Carlton playing the Crows at the MCG? Will be lucky to get 40k. Other than that should be solid crowds all round for the AFL. Weather looking good for the GWS/GC game here in Canberra. Big risk is Lions v Dogs, with neither team setting the world on fire.

Sellout means every available ticket is sold. Etihad have 10k of seats that are already sold and reserved for the entire year.

If the rest are then sold the game is a sellout.
