Port Adelaide fans miss out on tickets to AFL final match against Richmond because of online glitch Adelaide Advertiser
September 01, 2014 9:18PMSCALPERS are already cashing in on Sunday’s all but sold out Port Adelaide v Richmond AFL Elimination Final.
Hundreds of supporters spent hours lining up at ticket booths in the city and suburban shopping centres from 9am for the clash.
While the majority were able to snap up tickets for the Adelaide Oval match, others were left disappointed with a system that gave members just four hours to secure their seats.
Their frustration was compounded by a glitch with the Ticketek website, which repeatedly cancelled orders.
The AFL last night said there was only a limited number of “public restricted view” tickets remaining.
At the same time, scalpers took to online sites Gumtree and eBay to offer scores of tickets at inflated prices of up to $999 each.
The AFL ticket prices for adults range from $40 to $85.
