Birdsville races
Birdsville..Races.... Yes the great days are over.
The races have become an over the top commercialised event, The travel companies are unable to sell tickets for overseas travel so they have latched onto the races as a must go-to event. I have counted eight travel companies so far. No doubt they bought big when tickets first got sold.
There was a wait list to put your name on which I did but I see a note on Facebook that the wait tickets are to be sold 9 am on 30 July. I am still waiting for a notification that wait tickets are to be sold on the 30th.
As yet I have not received any work from the wait tickets people.
Sure the lockdowns have not helped. I have doubts as to when the lockdowns are to be lifted - before or after the races?
Even if they are lifted in the next two weeks I would be unable to get a ticket. They will not doubt have been sold in big batches to travel companies.
I feel that there are going to be a lot of asks for refunds if the lockdowns continue.
I guess I will miss out again.
