PARRAMATTA STADIUM
19/04/04
Following a meeting between the Parramatta Stadium Trust, the Parramatta Eels and Ticketek, a number of initiatives have been put in place for future NRL matches at Parramatta Stadium.
Two (2) additional Point of Sale staff members will be rostered on the Western side, bringing the total to twelve (12).
There will be a greater emphasis placed on PA announcements for those within the Stadium precinct, along with better signage and queuing alternatives. Staff will be instructed to give greater directional information.
We had 21 of a possible 22 terminals in full operation on Monday, but the late arrival of the crowd made it very difficult for the system to cope, Parramatta Eels Chief Executive Denis Fitzgerald said.
The Ticketek Ezyticket has been in operation for a couple of years now, but people need to be more aware of what it can do. You can purchase and print your tickets on your home computer and just turn up at the Stadium, it is simple and easy to use, Mr Fitzgerald added.
We are looking at various options that further encourage supporters to purchase their tickets more than one hour before kick-off, Mr Fitzgerald said.
The Parramatta Eels next home match is against the Sharks on Saturday 24 April. Kick-off is at 5:30pm
