Tickets Limited to Six Each
THE QUEENSLAND Rugby League will reduce the ticket limit to six (6) per customer when general seating for Game II of the Harvey Norman State of Origin goes on sale Monday.
After a review of ticketing operations with agent Ticketek, the QRL has opted to reduce the maximum number of tickets per person for each credit card or cash transaction.
Previously, a customer could book up to 10 tickets per transaction.
With this year?s June 14 showpiece at Suncorp Stadium the only match of the Harvey Norman series played in Queensland for 2006, the QRL wishes to ensure as many fans as possible have access to their desired seating.
?We?ve witnessed a trend emerge in recent seasons in regards to a number of individuals monopolising seating or on-selling tickets mainly through eBay at exorbitant rates,? QRL Managing Director Ross Livermore said.
?We dealt last year with people who cornered 200 seats for themselves and that?s clearly not on.
?Rugby league receives wide support from all areas of Queensland and indeed Australia, and we won?t be seen as condoning any form of inequity in granting public access.
?There may be genuine rugby league fans affected as a result of this six-ticket limit, however it is a position we have been forced to take in the greater interest of all supporters.?
Tickets will be issued by Ticketek only after clearance by the QRL of the purchase transaction.
In accordance with the new limit, anybody caught in breach of the conditions will have their order cancelled automatically.
Tickets to Game II of the Harvey Norman State of Origin series go on sale at 9am sharp on Monday, March 20 from Ticketek outlets, online at www.ticketek.com.au or by phone on 13 28 49.
