  • I didnt go because i heard it was a sellout, dirty to see heaps of seats empty right up the back, they stood out like dogs balls on tv.

      • They should have sold them people will say we can't fill the stadium even on opening day

  • Was technicaly a sell out but if ya rocked up late hoping for a chance. Then all seats get filled. Not a great look.

     

  • Definitely looks like pockets weren't sold. Were they selling tickets at the ground?  Maybe the publicity of a sellout scared some walk up customers away for the small amount left which were to be sold on the day.  I didn't see any official sell out notices but media talked it up as sell out all week

    Also I think some scalpers thought they could make money buying blocks of seats but couldn't get rid of them.  Saw few for sale and mate in Sydney got offered cheap tickets but was bit wary it was a scam . 

    On top of that remember it is Easter weekend .  No doubt some people got tickets and expected to go but couldn't or changed their mind.

     

     

  • They still were selling silver and bronze membership tickets today. So I guess thay was them, they should of opened it to the public. 

  • I know, I was gutted when I saw those empty seats as I kept on going to Ticketek even up to game day and I still couldn't get tickets >:/

  • There were so many empty seats all over the ground.

  • Attendance was 29,047. Capacity is 30.000 as stated on the Bankwst website.

    • Parra fan on the Hill : They announced some days ago that it was a sell-out. They would hardly say that if it was not true. They are interested in profits above all else. At any game, some people who have purchased tickets don`t turn up for a variety of reasons. Some get sick, some emergency arises, the weather turns bad, they change their minds, etc. 29,047 is not a bad turn out for a stadium with a 30 000 capacity. Less than 100 people had a reason for not turning up. A good result in my estimation.
