Erebus Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Who cares if it doesn't sell out? Its not our home game and they should be asking WHY it isn't selling out. Lack of promotion of the HAL as a whole? Bs price gouging that have turned people off? Regardless, those of us that WILL be there will enjoy the win.

Close to $50 for a ticket. I'll go to OUR home games. Kudos to the folks from our club that are going, but unfortunately the wallet isn't an infinite pit of money. Rather save up the money for a decent away trip. teddies, btron3000, EmMac and 2 others 5 Link to comment
Smoggy Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I am going for my son, he really wants to go, if it wasn't for him to be honest I wouldn't pay that much for myself but because we are going as a father and son thing then yeah, coughing up the money. sonar 1 Link to comment

Second derby at Allianz will be more of a challenge, for some unearthly reason it is on a Sunday evening. Unless both teams are neck and neck at the top I guess.

Better than ANZ for sure. What makes it even better for me is the drinking/eating in Parra, the walk to the station, the train trip and then the march through the 'burbs to Arnie's (dilapidated) mansion!

DCWSW Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 3 days prior to the derby at Allianz in January this year, PAX was over 23k. Which means, if ticket sales were on the same track this time around, it will by around that mark by tomorrow. Link to comment

MadKaw Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Tickets for us lot (2 adults, 2 kids) are only $2 more than last year. Unfortunately thats nearly double what they were 4 years ago... when you could buy a family ticket.. ANZ family tickets are better priced.... Link to comment
Erebus Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The Sunday 7pm derby is purely so Fox has it exclusively. Same reason why there's a Melb Derby on a Friday night. They give the Saturday slot to Ch10, then remove 2 derbies from that slot haha. It'll definitely affect attendance. If it had to be 7pm Sunday, it should be during school holidays. But FFA/FOX... sonar and Smoggy 2 Link to comment

On the back of initial fox ratings down 20% poor crowds for Sydney teams and the Melb teams based on past 2-3 years historical averages I think the lack of sellout here confirms what a lot if us having being talking about for a while on here - the game is stale and perhaps needs some expansion. Also could be a direct result of a poor season launch. Perhaps even tells us why when a lot of people who were bagging the last TV deal we are seeing why, the A-League isn't a powerhouse why would people throw money at it just because it's there. 2 years ago this fixture would sell out 3 days in advance, it is a little sad 3 days out there appears to be over 10,000 unsold tickets Prydzopolis and beatsurrender 2 Link to comment

Last years was a sell out but looked like our lowest numbers for a while still think last years poor performance has set us back 2 years and a small away showing in this one is another sign of it Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
Erebus Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The FFA think the A-League is good enough to sell itself and needs no marketing. Now, compare this to NRL and AFL which are embedded in the culture of this country. They have MASSIVE marketing campaigns months out from their season start every year. FFA are just 5#1tknt5 and the sooner they go the better. Their marketing campaigns the last couple of years have been absolutely cheap and terrible. You wouldn't even know its the derby this weekend.

Hughesy Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 - Sporting fixture grows organically - Promoter smells potential - Raises price of tickets, commercialises shite out of said fixture - Starts pricing people out of fixture - Fixture decline begins That’s just the 21st century way of sport promotion isn’t it?
