AAAaaaaaargggGGGGgggHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

(Things are clearly going well on my end)

'Error' after I pushed confirm on my credit card details, and another time (after I finally got through again) when I selected my tickets.

 

 

Guys, my question didn't get answered through the barrage of anger. Do general admission tickets get released at 2pm?

I've got mine too.  They really should re-invest some of that "hard earned" handling fee back into better servers and website design.  Good luck all

Yes

1 hour still can't get through


Finally!

Had to splurge on the most expensive ticket, but im in!

Ticketek Craigieburn worked a treat. Line isn’t big if anyone wants to do a mad dash. I tried online whilst in line and had major issues.

I have a spare barcode also, PM if anyone needs one.

 

Guys, dont go through the main page, use the direct link from your MFC email.

I got in straight away using that after spending an hour in the BS que.

Great to hear... obviously the old fashioned ways can still be the best


This might explains things, still very annoying!

Ticketek website struggles with high demand for AFL finals tickets

 

 

By Ronny Lerner

28 August 2018 — 9:42am

The rush for AFL finals tickets has got off to a very bumpy start with ticket provider Ticketek’s website struggling to cope with the high amount of traffic.

 

Ticketek is selling tickets to three of the four first-week finals – Richmond v Hawthorn, Melbourne v Geelong and Sydney v GWS.

 

Members of those six clubs were told that tickets would go on sale for their finals at 9am on Tuesday.

 

But for the first 25 minutes at least, it has been a huge struggle for club members to purchase tickets from the Ticketek website.

 

Initially, customers are greeted with the message: “Thousands of fans are online to get tickets right now. Hold tight, you're in the queue. Please DO NOT refresh this page.”

 

And after waiting for a few more minutes, many customers are ultimately told: “Sorry ... There was a problem processing your request. Please close your browser and try again.”

 

Meanwhile, tickets for the West Coast v Collingwood final are being sold by Ticketmaster and there have been no such issues purchasing tickets through that ticket provider’s website.

That is what I did DSP and I suspect most others 

Can anybody help me out with a membership code? I stupidly tried to get alternative seats when I got 2 on the fence and I figured my boy wouldn’t be able to see. Now the website says I’ve exhausted my allocation, even tho I don’t have tickets ?

200,000+ tickets all sold at once. Great thinking, 99!

PM'd good sir


How the [censored] have some of you got through more than once? I can’t get through at all. 2 computers trying for over an hour and no luck. At least it stopped crashing half an hour ago but this queue is endless.

bit like the census... strangely enough the World Cup manages to sell around a million in the same way and it works okay.

Mind you they did stuff up the subsequent mail out.

I just tried again. Right clicked on the buy tickets red button embedded in the email and it got me right in again.

Weird.

Logged in at 9am through Ticketek app and got this error image for 20 mins. Been waiting in queue since. Farcical.

I am rapidly approaching that position too dc. Have been doing  a few things in front of computer. A coffee and 2 cups of tea since 8 this morning and I am busting to go the loo and and petrified I will get through while away. 

I managed to get to payment, and confirmed credit card details...but then it crashed.

When I finally got back in 45 minutes later, the Ticketek overlords told me there might be tickets reserved in my Order History.

...And they were!! N55, Olympic Stand!

If you've lost out at the last stages, check your Order History, you might get lucky!

Good luck, friends!

 

This queue is [censored], how have some gotten in more than once while I can’t get in at all?

"There aren’t enough tickets to meet your request right now. Please try Best Available with a reduced quantity of tickets. If you receive this message even when selecting only one ticket, all remaining tickets are being transacted by other customers."

This is for just a single 'best available' ticket. Farcical

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
