[Timmah]

Just to back up Moffo's story, quoted from the Kennel, we have a pax update thread:

I just bought my tickets. PAX is 34 457
Category 1 is all sold.
The 2nd level is locked off.
The highest top level is opened, and tickets have started selling.

:crazy:

 

[Timmah]

just got mine. PAX number 34818..

Another quote from The Kennel.

 

[Timmah]

I believe mine were 4592 at 9am Monday. That would indicate to me there's roughly 4500 TS members or so. Corporates wouldn't be included in that count would they?

 

[phonetic]

An interesting point.. if you ask for 'best available' on the ticketek website, you get put in cat 3.

But if you ask for cat 1, you get put up on level 6.

Timmah, you so just came in your pants.

PAX 33505 @ 2pm

 

[ouwet]

Latest Pax number is 34818... 40,000 tickets + will be sold by tomorrow.

[ouwet]

I was just playing around on the ticketek website...

Cat 2 is single tickets only (except Bulldogs area )...
Cat 1 tickets in the whole bottom bowl (Including level 4) are pretty much GONE, unless you are going on your own or with one other person... Level 6 tickets now are being sold...
Cat 1 for both Bulldogs and Eels fans are singles only.

Cat 3 are still available in there numbers.. however i do believe the junior pass promotion will get rid of those pretty soon... HUGE HUGE HUGE, if you want to be part of RL history, get your arse to the stadium guys!

Is Cityrail going to run trains directly to Telstra Stadium from Central for this game?

You would think that they would given the size of the crowd

The NRL and the State Government have given Rugby League fans every chance to attend one of the all-time classic Telstra Premiership Finals after today ensuring that tickets to the match will gain fans free travel on public transport.

Following an early surge in ticket sales all major event public transport routes will also swing into action for an Eels versus Bulldogs showdown that has captured the imagination of Sydney sports fans.

The Major Event Status means that all public transport costs to and from Telstra Stadium have been incorporated into the ticket price following negotiations between the NRL and the State Government.

NRL Chief Executive, Mr David Gallop, thanked the State Transport Minister, Mr John Watkins, and Telstra Stadium for their efforts on behalf of fans.

"It's great to see the State Government working with us in a way that allows us to invest in making it easier for fans to get to the match," Mr Gallop said today.

"This is a game that showcases one of Sydney's greatest footballing rivalries and it is important that fans are given every chance to get there on Saturday night.

"The fact that they can now use their match tickets to access both special event and regular public transport routes at no extra cost is real incentive to get along to a great game."

Telstra Stadium CEO Ken Edwards congratulated the State Government and the NRL for moving quickly to provide the Major Event public transport services for the Eels-Bulldogs semi-final.

"The semi-final pairing was only confirmed on Sunday night and to plan and activate such a major public transport undertaking in just a few days is a great achievement," Mr Edwards said.

"This will make a huge difference for thousands of footy fans, who can get to and from Telstra Stadium safely and quickly on public transport and avoid traffic and car parking hassles.

"The Integrated Ticketing model with transport included in every match ticket is one of the great legacies of the Olympics and a very successful ingredient of Telstra Stadium's major events.

"This decision will go a long way to making Saturday night's game one of the biggest events on the Sydney sporting calendar this year."

PAX over 35k

 

[_Johnsy]

if they get over 50k, excellent result

 

[herbert henry1908]

if they get over 50k, excellent result

We need to push for that extra 10K though!

if the PAX is over 35K add in 5K members hopefully another 10K pre sold and we will need a walk up of 10k.

can it be done?

 

[Timmah]

the pax number includes members I'm sure. As mentioned I got my tix on Monday at 9am and the pax was already 4590. I can't see how they would've sold that many tickets in 15 second before my transaction was processed.

 

[ozzy_ozman]

pax does not indicate tickets sold... pax number is just a barcode number of the ticket

 

[Timmah]

I work in the industry ozzy, it's the amount of physical sales.

 

[ozzy_ozman]

fair enough but they are never accuarte
