The Stormers' deflating URC final defeat has been further marred by complaints that WP Rugby and Ticketpro overbooked tickets to the match.

WP Rugby on Monday confirmed that it was"aware of a small number of double bookings" and offered an apology to"those negatively impacted".Eugene Myburgh, a News24 reader who attended the final, alleges that"hundreds" of people were left without seats due to Ticketpro's botched management. A Facebook post from Ticketpro imploring fans not to purchase tickets from third-party vendors also turned into a melting pot for fans' frustration as 27 people commented on experiencing the exact same issue as Myburgh.

Some fans even missed kick-off as they sought to clarify and resolve their respective issues at the stadium, with Myburgh saying that the on-site manager was so overwhelmed that he"locked himself in an office once answers were demanded".Resident rugby writer Rob Houwing gives you his expert views on what's going on between the poles.
