it's 100% to blame.
NQ would have sold out days ago if the last lot of tickets went on sale a littler earlier than 10pm last night.
Clown show areas
I consider the TVL crowd a 10/10 regarless - we know that the western stand is corporate, and that the NRL was desperately trying to flog corporate packages, and failed to do so.
Now that they've run out of time trying, they've released the seats to the general public but it's too late. Word has spread that it has sold out, people have made alternate plans, and multiple groups were buying batches of single seats to go, when they could have got these if the NRL had their finger on the pulse.
Melbourne is a separate issue entirely. The demand isn't quite there.
