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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
