Thousands of Western Australians flocked to Ticketmaster yesterday to snap up free tickets to the Optus Stadium Open Day on Sunday 21 January 2018.
The initial allocation of 70,000 tickets were claimed within 90 minutes, standing to prove just how excited Perth is for its brand new stadium.
Responding the the exceptional demand, Premier Mark McGowan has now authorised an additional 40,000 free tickets to be made available today, “This world-class Stadium belongs to the people of Western Australia and demand for the Open Day today has been exceptional.
“I am delighted that even more people will now have the chance to see inside the Stadium for the very first time.”
The 40,000 new tickets will be the final allocation, after which time the Open Day will be officially sold out.
