That explains our difficulty. Arrived in the city at 6 and was in gridlock . Car parks closed or full. Punt Rd car park letting people come in and then diverting them back out to punt Rd when they could not prove they were disability patrons.
Of course the traffic turning against the flow into the car park could not see this sign and blocked punt Rd traffic only to be diverted back out like the rest.
Went around to car park 3 and expected to some some signage saying car park full. Nothing there so I turned left to see that it was full. Trapped again. Considered going to crown and ended up paying in a city car park.
Arrived at the G with 5mins to go in the first Q.
I thought the crowd was at least 65k.
To make things worse the food stores were putting out individual items which left people standing hunger games style for something to eat. Never did get that box of chips!
Whoever organised this event screwed up big time.
Lots of supporters cars on the road that had no chance of taking part.
