Can you please tell me who "Informed" you that the Stadium is fully booked because I need to inform them that only the grandstand is fully booked. There are still Reserved seats on the Embankment and General Admission available both nights.

He has already said
'There are still Reserved seats on the Embankment and General Admission available both nights.'

Wish people would stop taking notice of 'what someone was told by someone who thought they heard something.'

Be warned about transaction fees though

A family pass is classed as 6 tickets adding $12 on to the price
so 2 nights is $224 for a family

thats over 10% as a transaction fee:

A single adult at $40 has a $2 fee attached now thats .5% as a fee

Would like to know who gets the fee Ticket Direct The Council or the promoter?

Do you know why the big difference in transaction fees as a family pass is still only on 1 ticket like a GA Adult

[Tony]

At a guess, it's Ticket Direct trying to add value to their business.

If you purchase your tickets under the grandstand at the showgrounds they only charge 1 booking fee per family ticket not per person but they are the only ones who do this all other outlets charge per person on the ticket. A friend of mine got stung last year so this year she went to the showgrounds and the lady said she only charges 1 fee per ticket.

This is where my Partner brought her's : its a transaction fee per seat basically so needless to say if you have less than 4 kids then you should have spare seats beside you as you have paid for them
