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: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
