    I have a category 2 ticket that I'm selling due to winning a double pass to both the semi and the 3rd place playoff. Bought for 80 odd but will settle for a bit less

    Good onya Buddha. A lot of people would seek to cash in on the increased popularity

    Can't believe AFC / FFA / LOC advertised Newy stadium as a 33000 stadium only to find out few days after comp starts that it's actually 22000 in Asian Cup configuration and did nothing about grass area!!!!! That we loose 3000 seats to Media.....etc OK but 11000 seats / admissions it's unheard of. Not only there was a good chance that Australia would finish second in their group and can now only play in front of 22000, but imagine if China win the quarter and play here their semi in front of 22000!!! As I said in an earlier post if only 5% of China watch the game it equates to ~ 65000000 yes ~ 65M Chinese watching. It was reported that their game V Saudi Arabia was watched by 160000000 yes 160M (~7 times the population of Australia)!!! And if they play Japan then probably another ~20000000 could be watching. So possible 200 M to 250M all over Asia watching the game played at Newy Stadium........And here is Newy stadium with grass area half empty behind goal posts ...!!! Amateurs really......embarrassing......

    Just Shows what a joke the NSW Government is by not getting their fingers out of their arse to finish the stadium properly or at least **** the hills off with semi permanent seating like they did at Wankerland as a stop gap measure until they do actually finish it properly

    Nice touch but after dealing with the ethics of ticket swapping/sale for the WC mate you are more than entitled to get cost back.

    That is the ethically fair position on the subject and you don't have to undersell it to part ways with it.
    I think you will find if it is Australia V Japan you will have no issues getting cost anyway which you are more than entitled to

    I guess it highlights the raw deal Newcastle & the Hunter have had over the years in getting a decent stadium.

    They had to beg to get the $1.2 million surface done, yet ANZ has put their hand out for at least $350 million for their upgrade.

    not sure what your point is - last night they had an 18000 crowd, fair proportion of whom were chinese, but apparently the ambassador bought 3000 tickets and gave them away. stands were half empty behind the goals...

    If they can add temp seats to give a 25000 capacity and make the ground actually look full then that will be good enough. If they leave it as is, people will sit on the hills anyway and there will be huge gaps at a "sellout".

    It was a "sell out" in Brisbane at the weekend.

    If you looked around the ground there was still plenty of empty seats. Could have easily had another 1-2k in there

    there is several thousand kept aside for AFC exco members and sponsors. also a fair chunk of seats for media. so a sell out still looks pretty empty when all of them don't turn up. i don't think i've seen more than 100 AFC people in the stand at canberra at any match.

    Sponsors and the AFC head honchos on the junket I would have thought would have been out in force for what was a blue chip match.

    There were also plenty available in the corners and in the stand the Main TV Camera was located on.

    Now assuming a few got legitimate reasons ie they died or missed flight to Brisbane or something else for no showing the amount of empty seats would indicate they called it as sold out early when it were not really sold out

    Anyone know why the "restricted" seats are restricted view? I bought my tickets months ago and am in Bay 41 row A for 3 v 4, and Bay 41 row C for the semi. Some **** from ticketek rang me the other day and said the seats for 3 v 4 are restricted view so they moved me to bay 60 but mentioned nothing of the semi. Is it cause of those stupid ****ing advertising fences that sit a few metres inside the normal fence?

    Not being 100% certain where Bay 41 is and couldn't be arsed looking it up but Row A indicates fence line and assumption from me is lower tier western stand?? and the new you beaut benches instead of the Bunnings chairs may mean you would see shit
