GF tickets going for less than face value.

[Green Machine]

did you even read the article ?

Yes I did

the headline says SOLD OUT, then the first line tells us tickets are still available :roll:

spin doctoring at it's most blatantly obvious.

How terrible, the game will be probably sold out tomorrow instead of today. Big deal,

log on to ticketek yourself and have a look, every category is still availabelas of a few minutes ago.

Just logged on and that is not correct. Very few tickets are still available for sale

have a look at ebay, the prices are ridiculously low.

Who care about what tickets are sold on ebay. Not surprising with this weeks allocation, that fans have chosen to buy the majority of that 15,000 allocation from Ticketek. I for one, would not purchase any of the 700 tickets on ebay. I would do what the majority have done and paid full freight for a guaranteed legitimate NRL ticket. Anyway, I got my tickets weeks ago,

the question remains, we keep getting told this is brilliant for the game - why ????

Who told it was going to be a brilliant game? I have seen a few ordinary grand finals but I am yet to see one promoted as boring,

i know where the tickets have gone - to corporate free loaders. Also I know someone involved in a NRL club who got 12 FREE tickets on monday. They are giving them away to make it look that people are interested.

Whoever thought up the idea of having the Trophy go missing for increased publicity should be sacked as all it did was to show how amateur the NRL and Gallop is.

Boycott the game and send the message to gallop that he has to go NOW as we have had enough of him.

Weren't you exiled in Serbia??? Fair dinkum!

Why don't we just cut Melbourne, Brisbane, Nth Qld, NZ & CG and call it the NSWRL??? Why don't we just add more Sydney teams and average under 10,000 again? OR better yet we can see more 30,000 crowds in Sydney for a knockout finals between two Sydney teams:roll: (DRAGONS AND MANLY RING A BELL PEOPLE?)...

Marshall Stalin the only free tickets that get given out is in Bondi Maccas... Buy one big mac and receive three tickets to watch the SYDNEY city Roosters:roll: ... Melbourne is here to stay and if any of you Fitzgerald wanna be fagets don't like it... Tough luck, go support AFL we are better off without you!

Were talking about a couple of 100 tickets out of what 80,000??

Tickets on Ebay have been bought by someone(i.e so it will count towards sales anyway), so the only people that should be to blame for not turning up are obviously disgruntled fans of other teams who are trying to offload their tickets.

Ironic that its Dogs or Dragons fans that will be the ones not turning up(eventhough they have paid for tickets) and yet posters are blaming the Storm...

 

[ocko]

why the f**k would anyone buy a restricted view ticket?

will be interesting to see how many turn up?

Melbournians have representation in the most exposed game of RL this year.
I'd rather focus on the possibility of the grand final giving even a small percentage of non league fans an insight into what a great sport this is than obsess over whether or not the game gets played in front of a full stadium.

As a final matchup, I dont think we could do better than the Storm v Broncos. Two exciting teams in great form. I just hope they deliver a fitting spectacle.

restricted view is not as bad as it sounds. it is usually just a railing that you can see through.

We've all heard how tickets can be cancelled and resold if the NRL identifies them being traded for more than face value. Perhaps that explains exhausted allocations becoming available again. The various leagues have been getting pretty militant about this sort of thing over the last couple of years.

This sort of thing happens all the time. When I was buying Red Hot Chilli Peppers tickets a few weeks ago I logged in and there were no tickets available any where. So I logged out and logged in about 10 minutes later and was able to buy 3 tickets.

Also what it might say on the website can be different to what happens when you actually try to buy tickets. Often it will say tickets are available but when you try to log in and buy them you'll find there's actually none available.

4 category b tickets on ebay for 200 bucks.

I wanted 300 hundred but he wouldn't budge.
