NRL: Canberra Raiders aim for sell-out vs Parramatta Eels | The …
The Canberra Times reports that the Raiders are targeting a sell‑out crowd for their upcoming clash with the Parramatta Eels this weekend. The club is confident this will happen, driven by the team’s current form and strong fan interest.
This isn’t the first time Canberra have seen explosive ticket demand. Their fastest ever sell‑out was during their 2019 preliminary final, where tickets vanished within 24 hours.
The Raiders also played—and significantly defeated—the Eels earlier this season in Darwin, winning 50–12. That match drew large regional fan interest.
Attendance figures in the 2025 NRL season so far show huge crowds at multiple marquee fixtures—though these involved other clubs like the Bulldogs and Broncos, not Canberra vs Parramatta.
