Biggest ever prelim final crowd coming up?

[Timmah]

If it is it's purely coincidence. Seriously, we do NOT use it as a reference for tix sold.

Noone said it's entirely accurate, but it's almost always a good indication of the number of tickets sold. We don't much care if it's not the official way to equate tickets sold, we just want a general idea and most cases it's close enough to on-the-money.

How did you find that out?

Just tried to buy 10 eels tickets in cat c online
then 10 dogs cat c tickets and see where it puts you on the venue map lol

It might not start at zero, but as more tickets are printed it goes up yes? It is the best indicator of tickets sold we have.

So what does PAX actually stand for then smart-ass?

Sorry, but whenever I attend a game and buy a ticket at the gate, it's always within one or two thousand, sometimes even closer, to the official crowd figure. It's somehow related, there's no denying that.

I'M The smartarse? You're the one claiming to be an expert on all thins NRL/ticketing/etc. :lol:

I have no idea what PAX stands for, it's related to Softix, the company that created the software for the ticketing, but I can assure you that the numbers on it are not an accurate reflection of tickets sold. I have asked people higher up on the food chain than me and they were most emphatic about it. Still it it makes you happy to believe in the PAX myth, then go ahead ya numpty.

and now eels cat b and dogs cat b are available again :crazy:

I never claimed to be an expert, someone asked and I guessed an answer. I know from working in the travel industry that PAX traditionally is a number allocated to someone when they book a plane ticket for instance... and in Ticketek's case, they chose the name PAX because it ROUGHLY represents how many tickets have been sold for a certain event.

You seem to be vehement in your claim that PAX numbers are a complete myth when in most cases they seem to be close enough to the mark (noone said accurate, unbunch your panties). Why?

Nice selective quoting, d*ckhead. :lol:

It does refer to package, but it's not what we use, or anyone official, including the NRL, uses to equate to tix sales.
I get my panties in a bunch over you all the time Timmothay, you know that. You just do it for me!!!!!!!!!!!:crazy:

Also, if you don't believe me, RING UP AND ASK! You might even get to speak to moi!:shock:

I think you're missing the point - noone ever said anyone official uses it. Fans just use it as a general guide to ticket sales and regardless of how much of a coincidence you think it is, it's normally close to correct.

 

[Jeremy_hindmarsh]

wat are the PAX atm?

 

[SDM]

It is over 50K.

Anyone who cant accept PAX as an accurate estimate is a pedant.

:lol::lol::lol:
Wrong!! For the last time- It’s a numerical representation of the barcode, its basically something the human eye can recognise and if we type it into the ticketing system it gives us various info about the barcode… used mainly on event days to see if a barcode has been used, to stop people copying one ticket and it working over and over again etc
Its very technical buthas nothing at all to do with the number of tickets sold!
They do not represent an accurate account of tix sold Because It depends on what paxkey is used to create the original event, so the original number that it starts from is random and is often not 0. Each master event has a paxkey that the whole event is based on, and it creates from that all the following barcodes in the event. unless you are a programmer for Softix, whatever general knowledge you have about barcodes is just that. General. [FONT=&quot]
