This response comes amid claims that almost 1000 ticket holders were sent away at the gates during Saturday’s event.
PNG Loop spoke with the committee CEO Peter Stewart who says that while they are considerate of issues highlighted by ticket holders who could not get through to the closing ceremony, many of the tickets in question would have granted its holder access to the event.
Stewart says that on the closing ceremony night, 9000 tickets were processed and says that all fake or counterfeit tickets were not entertained.
