    Crowd for Lions match: First day game at Telstra

    What crowd can we expect on Sunday at Telstra?

    I think between 50k and 60k

    That would be great to achieve, however, IMO I'll go for 48, 350

        I reckon around 45,000 due it City to Surf being on that morning.

        I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

        If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

            Very difficult to predict because of Bledisloe Cup on Sat and City to Surf Sunday am. The latter causes lots of inner city and Eastern Suburbs traffic problems. If the weathers good, I'm hoping 50k.

                I brought my tickets early last week in anticipation of a big crowd. And with both sides wining on the weekend, it helps.
                The "best avaliable" was the upper section behind the goals, which suggests already that already perhaps 30,000 tickets sold.

                      Its a strategy used bu contestants on the (not so) New Price is Right.

                        I think some of you are a tad delirious as to the possible crowd. Not only will the Bloodyslow take much-needed short-term publicity away from our match, the City to Surf will chop into a lot of our existing Eastern suburbs supporter base, who may well opt to not bother trying to get through the traffic to 'go all the way west' to Homebush.

                        Given the circumstances, I'd be more than happy with 40000. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't draw much over 35000.

                          Technically, my under-estimating tactic would be a real fizzer on Price is Right.

                              You're right, its the other way round. Goes to show that I havent watched the show in ages (I spend that time now commuting on trains).
