The day was filled with excitement and laughter..and the atmosphere was brilliant
Fantastic to see international teams playing at local venues making it available to everyone . Getting use to ticketing on phones and card only purchases at the venue , just the way it is . Securing good seats made easy , just have to get in early , like most popular events and be aware of what events are up and coming. Only down side , when people are late and the event has started and their seats are always 1/2 way between the isles . Seems to happen more with rugby union than NRL . Over all a great event .
We used the Stadium shuttle from Markettown. Busy but very convenient. We were an hour early so had no dramas with the Check in process. Great crowd and vibe. Really enjoyed the game. Left right on full time and got the first bus home. Only way to do it stress free. Thanks Wallabies and Fiji for coming to Newy.
It was such an easy process, from purchase to arrival, and then a great spectacle to watch. Thanks for a great day
I enjoyed the rugby never mind the rain it was amazing experience
Great venue, easy to get too. Leaving the venue is usually easy but for this event it wasn’t anywhere near as smooth. There was lots of confusion on the train platforms and people were getting annoyed.
All good - tickets were issued and saved on the App and in wallet.
The stadium is ‘state of the art’ originally from England I have experienced many of the top stadiums there but Optus can be proud of what it is. As far as Ticketmaster goes then a transitional success from booking to entering the stadium 👍
Absolutely brilliant seats, whole event went smoothly
