Canberra Raiders thrash the Eels as the home streak rolls on

Although I did learn a lesson last night when I went to the game. Ticketek is $10 cheaper than at the gate! We figured that the crowd was going to be low so no need to buy tickets early. Got to the gate and noticed they were $10 each more. Great, wish that was actually on the Raiders website. Anyway we bought a Grandstand ticket for $44, only to then have the grandstands open for all ticket holders. Nice thing to do for the fans who turned up and paid less, but we paid more for the cover.
Asking for a partial refund went no where, despite being a non-ticketed member. Couldn’t even get free of half price tickets for another game. I suspect the person wasn’t authorised to do anything.

Really the Raiders wonder why the crowds are down? Todays Brumbies game isn’t close to being sold out either.

Memberships are great but not everyone has time to go to every single game. I also tend to go see games with friends who support the opposition team, so sometimes its 2 3,4 or more people going. I paid for a ticketless membership to support my team and then don’t feel like my membership is appreciated. I’d have thought being able to get discounted tickets for example for members who want to see a few games a year would be a good plan.

Anyway at least the Raiders won!
