Four record-breaking sporting events at Industree Group Stadium have delivered an economic boost of $9.75 million to the Central Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Stadium Data Analysis conducted by Central Coast Council \u2013 plus game-day ticketing report data \u2013 has revealed the true value of major sporting events at Industree Group Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Central Coast Council report estimates that the A-League Grand Final was worth $3 million in total economic activity for the region, with visitors spending around $2 million locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first A-League Grand Final ever held on the Central Coast also smashed the all-time attendance record at Industree Group Stadium, with additional seating required to host 21,379 fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands more watched the historic Grand Final from the Leagues Club Park<\/a> Live Site, so fans who missed out on tickets could be part of the historic Grand Final event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also revealed more than 7,700 visitors stayed on the Central Coast on Grand Final weekend \u2013 driving a hotel occupancy rate above 90 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel occupancy rate reached 63.1 per cent for the Mariners v Sydney FC event in May, before soaring to 79.4 per cent for the Roosters v Bulldogs NRL game in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three of these events were sell-outs at Industree Group Stadium, with the Mariners\u2019 Semi-Final attracting 20,059 fans and a weather-hit Sydney Roosters game drawing 16,868 fans through the gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the first time the Central Coast stadium had staged three consecutive sold-out events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fourth bumper sporting event \u2013 the South Sydney Rabbitohs v Wests Tigers NRL game on Saturday, July 20, 2024 \u2013 drew a crowd of 16,284 and delivered another impressive boost to the Central Coast visitor economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industree Group Stadium Manager Kath Casey said stadium operator VenuesLive had been responsible for bringing more events and more diversified offerings to Industree Group Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we bring quality events to the Central Coast, everyone in our community benefits and this new data from Council and ticketing demonstrate the extent of the benefits,\u201d said Ms Casey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVisitation numbers increase, hotel beds are filled, and money is spent in the local community, bringing prosperity to the region and creating local jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the future? Casey indicated there are plenty of exciting events on the calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLooking forward, I can reveal there are some very exciting family events to be announced for the summer months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
