great result tonight, but I nearly didn't make because of a little upset on the way in. The young girl taking money going into the stadium told me on arrival that there was no $10 entry left, because they had "sold out". I was very polite and said look, there are many free spaces, we are all (four in my car) season pass holders, for which we pay reduced parking of $10. Oh no, we're sold out of them.

"Computer says no" was what sprang to mind. 

As there were about 20 cars behind me and nowhere to turn around and it was only 20 minutes before kick off I had no choice but to pay three times what I should have.

Very, very pissed off with this. Was anyone else so shafted? What is the recourse? To whom should I send a telegram?

Nostalgia isnt what it used to be...........

Exactly this. It's stated in the list of season pass benefits too, so unfortunately you were 10 minutes too late Grandadi.

Just as an FYI. The stadium parking opens 3 hours prior to kick off so was available from 2pm yesterday

Such bullshark. I hate the $30 cash only thing while there are so many free spaces on Throndon Quay on Sundays, robbery is faster to get money!
