......and look where Brett is going!!!

(lots of photos and details below)

"THE DECIDER" - Game Three of the......

Brett and his friend Ritchie Mounsey were very keen to see this game......
There was a problem though
They didn't have tickets!!! --- and the game was SOLD OUT!!!

But there was a heap being 'sold on' via Ebay - and here is one of the auctions

Two tickets to "State of Origin #3" - Suncorp Stadium Brisbane
Use 'buy-it-now' so you have your tickets

Two tickets to "State of Origin #3"
Wednesday 6th July
8.00pm - gates open at 4.15pm
Seats are in Section 639 in the Western Stand
This is a licensed section
Tickets allow for free public transport to-and-from the game
Free registered post

The auction started at 15:08:41 AEST on Sunday 19th June
The seller had a 'Buy It Now' option so Brett bought the tickets at 18:48:22 AEST for
$400.00
On the official ticket site, the prices varied from $29.75 to $99.75
so two tickets for $400.00 is probably "a reasonable scalper's price"!!!

---A few "Interesting Points"---

#1 - Are the tickets genuine?, and

#2 - A note from the web site
who were the official ticket agents
CONDITIONS OF SALE
It is a condition of sale that this ticket may not, without the prior consent of the QRL,
be resold at a premium or used for advertising, promotion or other commercial purposes
(inc competitions/trade promotions or to enhance the demand for other goods or services)
If a ticket is sold/used in breach of this condition,
the bearer of the ticket will be denied admission

#3 - From the web site
Event Tickets - eBay Guidelines
Generally, eBay permits the resale of tickets
However, the resale of tickets to events (including sporting contests, music concerts and plays)
and airline tickets can often be regulated by the ticket issuer
As a ticket seller, you are responsible for ensuring that your particular transaction
does not violate any applicable law or the terms of the ticket itself
Therefore, prior to buying or selling these types of items members should contact
the ticket issuer and ensure the resale is permitted
Generally, airline frequent flyer points or guest passes to airline lounges are
non-transferable, therefore, eBay does not permit these types of items to be listed

WILL THEY GET IN TO THE STADIUM???
I guess we will not know until Brett and Ritchie walk up to the gate on game day
......but they were willing to take the risk!!!

HE GOT IN OKAY!!!
This shot was taken just after they entered the Stadium
