A computer error has led to thousands of angry Souths fans missing out on prized tickets to Sunday's crucial finals clash with arch-rivals Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium.
Members were given priority to buy tickets on Monday morning to the huge game which is certain to be a sell-out.
But when frustrated Souths fans tried to punch in the code provided by the NRL to buy tickets for the elimination match, they were met with an 'error' message.

After about 20 minutes, they received a follow-up email from Souths saying: "The code provided by the NRL in the previous email was incorrect. Please use [code redacted]."
But by that stage, many of the best tickets had already been snapped up, presumably by Roosters fans who had no such computer problems.
"It stinks," one angry Souths fan told Wide World of Sports.
"The biggest game of the year and they can't get something as simple as a password right.
"All my mates had the same problem - I rang a friend who is a Roosters fan and he already had his tickets.
"You wait all year for this game and now we couldn't get the tickets we wanted - they need to do better."
