Who's going to the game?

[IRoosterManI]

Doesn’t look like I will be going, could not for the life of me find 4 adult seats together, kept getting rejected and a lot of the roosters areas were single purchase only.. it’s a shame but grats to anyone who was able to get tickets to go with the family.

Everyone that goes needs to boo Latrell every time he touches the ball!

Then watch them all be labelled racists.

R u at the Matilda's tonight?

No I am not I have covid-19 and am still isolating

Then watch them all be labelled racists.

I think that most reasonable people understand the difference between the Adam Goodes and Latrell Mitchell situations and won't be calling people racist for booing Latrell

Bay37. Bring it on. Bring it on.

Got tickets yesterday.
Sitting in 203, not great seats but excited that I managed to get 5 tickets for the family and get to attend the game.

Looks like it is now completely sold out. Says ‘allocation exhausted’ Wouldn’t even allow a single ticket to be purchased.

[Bruce 38-0]

I think when that happens it means tickets are in people’s cart so sure,y by the morning it will be sold out. Great to have another full cart two weeks in row.

Lend me a 3500 metre ladder with James Webb Space Telescope attached, I'll be there.

Hi guys, new member here. Been a Roosters fan since I was old enough to remember. I have 4 tickets to the game if any one is interested. I had them bought for me but am unable to attend now. They are on the ticketek marketplace for those interested. Would rather a roosters fan snap them up rather than a Rabbitoh that's for sure

there are 2 tickets in section 434 and 2 in 435 . Cheers guys

Sydney Football Stadium punters offered refunds after faulty seats mar NRL, rugby games

Some fans have been offered refunds after faulty seats marred the opening weekend of games at Sydney's new $800 million stadium.

Punters who attended the first matches at the newly rebuilt Sydney Football Stadium say they were forced to hold their seats up or were thrown forward when they sat down.

Vision emerged of a grounds keeper doing the rounds at the Moore Park venue with an electric screwdriver securing seats at an NRL fixture on Friday night.

The 42,500-seat stadium was only opened to the public on August 28.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet called the $828 million stadium "world-class" at its opening, conceding the state's facilities had not been "up to scratch" in the past.

"This stadium is one of the best anywhere in the world. It provides people the opportunity to be closer to the action — more bathrooms, more food and beverage — so the experience is much better," Mr Perrottet said.

It hosted two games over the weekend, with the Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL match played on Friday before the Wallabies met the Springboks in a rugby union test match on Saturday.

Ameer Ibrahim, who was at the game on Saturday night, told the ABC he had issues as soon as he sat down.

"They were tilting forward from the moment we got there, and it progressively got worse as the game went on, and we were literally holding up the seats with our feet, almost like doing a wall sit for the first half," Mr Ibrahim said.

"To have a rest from the chairs, we got up and moved around at half-time and then towards the end of the game, we left early.

"I was getting a sore bottom and quads from holding the seat up. The row in front of us was also broken."

Greg Shawl was at the same game and said many of the seats in his row were broken.

"The seats threw us forward and we crouched on our knees," Mr Shawl said.

"Whoever put them in didn't secure them properly, or maybe they can't hold adults because we weren't the only group that had the same problem."

A Venues NSW spokesperson said they have offered refunds to compensate.

"A small number of seats were not affixed correctly. We relocated patrons where possible on the night and have also offered refunds or tickets to future events," the spokesperson said.

NSW Sports Minister Alister Henskens and John Holland were contacted for comment.

The rebuild of Sydney Football Stadium was riddled with controversy since before construction began.

The state government, under ex-premier Mike Baird, had planned to renew facilities at the ground as part of a wider stadiums policy.

In 2017, his successor, Gladys Berejiklian, announced a complete knockdown and rebuild at a cost of $735 million.

Opponents criticised the decision as an unnecessary expense as the original ground had only been built in 1988.

John Holland secured the contract to rebuild the new stadium in December 2019, after Lendlease was dumped as they failed to meet the government's objectives.

By the time construction finished, the stadium's budget had blown out by almost $100 million.

The quality of Sydney's stadiums has recently been at the fore of a stoush between the NRL and state government over the hosting rights for the grand final.

Australian Rugby League Commission chair Peter V'landys threatened to move the final interstate, citing a series of broken promises by the government.

It came to a head after Mr Perrottet reneged on a promise to upgrade suburban grounds in Manly, Cronulla and Leichhardt, saying the funds were required to support people impacted by the floods.

Well well, it is almost a sell out once again.. who are we thinking will own the numbers come Sunday? Souffs fans or Rooster fans?

Early reports were that Souffs would outnumber us but I’m hoping the ticket code error meant more Roosters fans got prime seating early and we will have the upper hand in regards to numbers.
