I would have thought it was sold out by now but have nothing to base my opinion on :lol:

Interesting a about extra transport home. I would hazard a guess not but haven't looked into it.

anyone with a pax on the second semi final 27 january at newcastle stadium. i assume there will be additional services to allow people from sydney to head home after the game?

Canberra averaging about 8k with 2 games played in awful weather and all games at 6pm k/o or earlier. How do people think this fares in FFA eyes for a football club based in the city?

Also can't help but feel 22k @ Allianz would have absolutely kicked ass, 22k @ ANZ is still awful.

22,672

I'll guess 28k

r.i.p to the poverty Suncorp pitch

lol on tv it looks less than the two times they had ~5k

7,925 in Canberra

Phwoah! if only, unfortunately im in the sunshine state for <24 hours

jesus, there is two games either side of socceroos in brisbane that will probably go close to 20k+ what a weekend for brisbane football fans.

Brisbane showing that it's the true sporting capital :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you can stay later, monday is Iran V UAE. I think would be another cracking game.

The AFC would have held back an amount of tickets. I just bought two for friends up in the rafters. PAX - 50176. So she'll be chockers!

Cat 1 and 2 available again for the korea game. Why wouldn't you just sell all available seats in the first place?

spewing I didnt know this was on in bris, would have come a day early.

This will be interesting. I am going to Australia v Bangladesh & Ireland v UAE at the Gabba. The Ireland v UAE game is on a Wednesday and could be comparable to say the Iraq v Jordan game at Suncorp for attendance. It may end up lower than 6K too which would be a good win for football.

Iraq v Japan in Brisbane Category 1 exhausted now. could be 20K+
Can't wait, 2 big nights of football for me :d \:d/

I think it will be interesting to compare the crowds from the lower drawing AC games (eg Kuwait vs Oman , Jordan vs Palestine) to the lower drawing cricket WC games (eg Zimbabwe vs UAE, Afghanistan VS sCOTLAND)

We are halfway through the group stage and have had 195,000 people attend.

Correct - 2 group games had less than 1000, 11 had less than 10,000, the others had a host nation involved with massive crowds (60,000 in Indonesia and Vietnam for example, 40,000+ for Thailand and Malaysia).

Only one quarterfinal was above 15,000, semi-finals only had 12,500 and 10,000 respectively.

Was revised up to 17,147.

Japan game was re assessed to above 17k (somewhere in this thread)

Match 1 – Australia vs Kuwait: 25,231
Match 2 – Korea vs Oman: 12,552
Match 3 – Uzbekistan vs PR Korea: 12,078
Match 4 – Saudi Arabia vs China: 12,557
Match 5: UAE vs Qatar: 5,513
Match 6: Iran vs Bahrain: 17,712
Match 7: Japan vs Palestine: 15,497
Match 8: Jordan v Iraq: 6,840
Match 9: Australia vs Oman: 50,276
Match 10: DPR Korea vs Saudi Arabia: 12,349
Match 11: China vs Uzbekistan: 13,674

13,674 in Brisbane

When China hosted the average was 31k

When South East Asian hosted it was 22K

Hopefully we can get up to 20k

Qatar had 11k

In 2007 the four host nations got massive turnouts for their home games, particularly Indonesia and Vietnam, which really boosted the average attendances. But apart from that the attendances were pretty poor from memory.

Players must be enjoying playing in stadiums that are filled. Since Aus joined I cannot remember having crowds like this across all games. I even remember the international media was deriding the Asian Cup in the past because of it's empty stadiums. Certainly raised the bar.

Group A

Australia 4–1 Kuwait Attendance: 25,231 - Melbourne

South Korea 1–0 Oman Attendance: 12,552 - Canberra

Kuwait 0–1 South Korea Attendance: 8,795 -Canberra

Oman 0–4 Australia Attendance: 50,276 - Sydney

Group B

Uzbekistan 1–0 North Korea Attendance: 12,078 - Sydney

Saudi Arabia 0–1 China PR Attendance: 12,557 - Brisbane

North Korea 1-1 Saudi Arabia Attendance: 12,349 - Melbourne

Group C

United Arab Emirates 4–1 Qatar Attendance: 5,513 - Canberra

Iran 2–0 Bahrain Attendance: 17,712 - Melbourne

Group D

Japan 4–0 Palestine Attendance: 17,147 - Newcastle

Jordan 0–1 Iraq Attendance: 6,840 - Brisbane


Total Attendances: 181,050

Aggregate Average: 16,459

Will Suncorp announce if and when further tickets are released? I'm in need of some having missed out!

12,349 in Melbourne for North Korea-Saudi Arabia. Very good effort.

Well I'll agree that 11500 of the 12500 were probably cheering for China. In my bay with not many Chinese seated in it everyone was going for China anyway.
