2020 Finals Week 1 V Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

[Green thumbs]

Yay! 8 seats in Bay 68! Pickles and the grandkids are all coming along with us the cheer the boys to a big win. Much excitement. Go Raiders!!

[Butters]

Any word on status of ticket allocation exhaustion for us non-Canberran non-ticketed members?

[Krypto]

What a fail. I'm a ticketed member and have yet to receive an email with the link to purchase tickets! Anyone else?

[cat]

It doesn't seem to have sold out as fast as i expected.

My pax number was 1400s

I reckon you will be ok, sign up for an nrl account and you will get in earlier ( its free)

[cat]

kyrpto, give the club a buzz , there are still tickets available

[Krypto]

Thanks cat, unfortunately stuck on a work conference call for a few hours so won't be able to call.

Definitely call the club. Check your junk mail folders first though.

I got an East Stand seat, on the half way, logged into Ticketek early on the phone, clicked the link right on 10am, got exactly what I wanted straight away. All done at about 10:02am. I’ve never experienced such a smooth finals tickets process. That was easier than buying a regular home game seat this year.

Pretty excited about having a ticket to this one! It will be the first live game I have seen this year so hopefully we are focused and get the win. It's hard to believe that around a year ago we were packing Bruce Stadium to the rafters to take on the Bunnies. The celebrations in the stands when Papa scored were awesome. It's great having a team that is a real shot at winning the comp!

Rooster showed us what happens if you don't have your head in the game, we need to aim up big time and be absolutely ruthless. I am sure Ricky will have the boys breathing fire and fortunately we seem to have got past being beaten by rubbish teams and playing well against the good teams!

So will nrl send out links for members shortly? Hoping they aren't all gone yet!

Can anyone tell me what presale tickets mean. I didn't manage to get membership before everything turned bad. When I went onto the ticketek app I can get through to payment part but it says presale as the ticket type. I would prefer not to pay for it if it isn't going to be actual tickets.

[pickles]

Just had a look and it seems like there are still tickets available, that's 3:15pm Monday. I'm honestly surprised that it hasn't sold out yet given the limited tickets and generous member allocations.

I'm not sure what happened but it let me buy 5 tickets. I have bought 5 cheap tickets they have seat numbers and the qr code just not sure what is meant by presale tickets on the actual tickets.

Ricky Stuart hopes Canberra Raiders milk more finals wins

The Canberra Raiders will play in successive finals series for the first time since 2004 and coach Ricky Stuart says they are "hungry" after last year's grand-final loss.

"The way they handled the big occasion last season and the build-up right through to the grand final is always going to be a big help for a future point of view," Stuart said. "It opened their eyes but what it also did is made us so hungry in wanting success."

Hungry Canberra Raiders out to test NRL top-four history

If the Canberra Raiders are good enough they'll overcome missing out on the top four to create NRL history.

"I believe the reason nobody's won it outside the top four is that no one's been good enough," he said. "So if we're good enough we've got the opportunity. We'll be ready to play. If we're good enough we'll be there at the end."

Anyone with an NRL account got them email yet? Nothing has come through for me...

Nope.

What's the deal with the supposed "discount" pricing? Cat 1 $55, Cat 2 $40.

Didn't look too discounted to me when I got a bunch at 10am.

My guess is that the discount would be on the cheap seats

[1992]

From the Sharks forum:

'Talakai would be first picked. been outstanding and is beast. need him to take on the roid monsters from canberra'

Oh the irony. HAHAHAHA

[RedRaider]

Had my usual difficulty with Ticketek and couldn't get it fixed until after 1pm. They are slow responders. I am in a nose bleed seat but I don't care. I just have to be there. That's all that matters to me for this game of footy. The discount price of $55 for a Cat 1 seat became $65 after 1pm. I am about the 40 mtr line well back in the stand. But I'll be there cheering on the Raiders. Who could ask for more?

[pacman]

I got the NRL email around 4pm and managed to score 2 tickets (woot woot). Maybe check your junk mail guys.

Looks like there are still tickets available in all categories except for raiders supporters which I'm quite surprised about.

And then I'm even more surprised that so much accommodation is sold out.. What gives Canberra?

Yeah man. Trying to find a three bedroom place for the family is impossible. There's like 4 places left on Airbnb total.

Floriade isn't even on is it?

It is not an event in Commonwealth Park... but they are running "Floriade Reimagined" so that all the plants and bulbs that had been ordered have been planted and are blooming now across the city. They ought to maintain this... and expand it in future IMO... The idea is to avoid large crowds in one place.

Not sure why that would mean that places are booked out though.

[raiderskater]

It's also the long weekend. Maybe a lot of people doing staycations? Or Sydneysiders doing a long weekend escape down here?

The big discount was Cat 3, which I snaffled my ticket up for $15.

Bay 12 Row BBB with a non-ticketed membership at about 12:45pm.

Happy with that.

I'd already booked accommodation just in case.

[Mickey_Raider]

So do we still give it to Dugan or what?

[twistedbydesign]

Tickets definitely still available guys, just grabbed a couple off Ticketek with no code required. Cat 1 sold out but others are available.

[radicalraider]

Cat 2 seats. We'll take em.

[Roger Kenworthy]

I don't think he's worth the effort.
