Nicola Healey from Griffin in Brisbane’s north arrived at Suncorp Stadium with her 11-year-old son Carter decked out in their Maroons gear on Wednesday night only to be turned away at the gates.
“My Ticketek account was hacked and my tickets were put up on Ticketek Marketplace and resold,” she said.
Healey said she was initially told that her tickets had been cancelled and was then directed to join a long queue of punters at the ticket box where was told she had listed her tickets on Ticketek Marketplace.
“I said, ‘no I did not!’”
Healey said the ticket office could not offer her any remedy and did nothing more than direct her to the police.
“My poor son is devastated. This was his birthday present purchased in February,” she said.
Comment is being sought from Ticketek.
