At around 2:20pm, the wait to buy tickets for the ground was estimated at just under an hour, with StadCo employees unable to deal with the large demand from supporters. Those who turned up late witnessed a queue that was close to circling the stadium and many supporters opted to go elsewhere, as opposed to missing the opening action of the game.

Yet despite now being three home games into the new season, StadCo's teething problems continue and many have been left frustrated by their blatant inefficiency.
