Where do Swans fans in Sydney live?
Had an interesting phone conversation with CityRail who finally rang me back today regarding the $6.00 "special event" single rail ticket from Olympic Park and my argument that many people don't live $6 away from the ground and thus getting ripped off.
It was many weeks ago now that I complained but interestingly it took until just after the last game at the Telstra ground for them to get back to me.
CityRail says it's been a breakdown in communication if people may not have been told or directed to the one and only ticket window if they weren't travelling that far, instead of being told that it's $6 for all adults for all stations as every sign there reads on the night.
I argued that people weren't told and also that a majority of Swans fans would live less than a $6 ride away from Olympic Park. The CityRail person argued the opposite saying that a majority of Swans fans would live more than a $6 train ride away and thus were getting a discount.
Remember this has been going on for some time now so we're talking about a large amount of money possibly being generated.
So what do you think, do most Swans fans live more or less than $6 away by train from Olympic Park?
Let's compare how much it costs normally:
Olympic Park to Chatswood $5.60
Central $4.60
Bondi Junction $5.20 (you can't go further by train so how many have been charged $6)
Hornsby $5.60
Sutherland $6.00
Campbelltown $6.00
Quakers Hill $5.60
Mt Druitt $6.00
So do a majority of Swans fans live beyond these suburbs as Cityrails suggests thus making it a great deal for most, or at or inside these suburbs, making it pointless and/or a rip off?
