I wonder how many of the 18,128 were free tickets????

I wonder how many of the 18,128 were free tickets????

From what I could tell - not too many free ticket holders - there was a huge line of people waiting to buy tickets - from the Eastern End, the line went all the way back to O'Connor Street then snaked back in to the car park. People were waiting in line for over an hour.

I have heard a fair bit on radio this morning about ticket purchases.

21 of 22 ticket windows were open, and at 2pm only 6,000 people were inside the ground.

As far as i am concerned anyone who turns up an hour before kick off on match day to buy a ticket takes the risk and faces the consequences if thousands of others try to do the same. Its one thing for it to happen on a friday night, but on a public holiday monday, most people dont have an excuse. And at the end of the day the tickets are on sale for weeks in advance.

I was listening to 2GB on the way home and heaps of callers were saying that it was more like 8 windows were open. Ticketek in the leagues club also stopped sales at 2pm.

 

[oneguy]

Agree with you there PB - I got my tickets at 12:15 - and only had to wait maybe 10 mins.

BUT the way the lines are organised are a joke, yeh there was plenty of ticket windows open, but there was only one line, and then 1 official at the head of the line, directing people to the next available window as they became vacant.

So between the time a person has purchased tickets, to the time the next person gets told to walk to that ticket window, it's just dead time. Talk about a bottleneck.

Not very efficient and I think that just made the time longer than necessary.

There was 18,000 and im certain there was 10,000 Souths fans there.

 

[Goleel]

Well I wont take any tips from you then because unless bay 54 holds 20,000 there were not even close to 10,000 souths fans there. Sure there were a heap in the cheap seats, but both the Cronin and Thornett stands were packed with blue and gold, barely a peep or red and green in between.

after the game on 2GB some guy said he couldnt buy his tickets so alot of people snuck in through the back and watched the game for free

 

[thedux]

I even heard people say that they had to wait for over an hour to get pre-paid tickets that they had purchased over the net. Why not pay the extra couple of bucks and take the Ezy-ticket option and print them yourself. Parra are one of the few clubs that offer that. Some people are never happy.

I attempted to call 2GB and stress that point but couldn't get through.
