The lack of a TV deal for 2013 was raised some time ago on these message boards and the Gold Coast event only has one year left on their contract and has been heavily subsidised by their government, which tells me that it is not a profitable event as such. (Usually the case for all street circuits.)
They are claiming 180,000 attendance at Surfers (I presume over two days), but from what I saw on the TV I would seriously doubt that figure as the open stands seemed less than half full.
