ArtificialWisdom 4,045 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Recommend monitoring Twitter of AFL, Ticketek and all clubs (including Hawks, Swans, GWS and Tigers who knows who will be quickest to update). Ticketek has shut down purchases for the time being. As soon as they say when, try to be ready with barcodes typed in word or notepad on a seperate lines so you just have to copy, paste all at once. Cross everything and pray. Good luck to all. 1 Quote

DSP 1,488 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Now MCC presale tickets also suspended. What a balls up. Quote
Age 485 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Also a quick tip for you - I was online first thing, got to the payment stage and it then said the page had expired and hadn't processed. I went to get the tickets again and it told me my allocation per barcode had been used. Then checked my order history and the tickets were there, as well as payment taken out of the credit card so if you get a similar message to me, check before going through the process again so you don't end up buying two lots, which I almost did! 1 Quote

old55 23,864 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 WA Optus Oval ticketing is with Ticketmaster and they don't seem to have had any problems. Is it the venue, i.e. the MCG that is with Ticketek? Quote

Maxwell Edison MD 143 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 So I'm going to ask something really stupid.... Why do Members have to pay for tickets? Is this just for the finals? Sorry, but I've never been to Melbourne to watch live before. Quote

DemonTux 97 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 is the ticketing agreement with the venue or the competition? If it was with the AFL then why is the methcoast collingwood game done through ticketmaster? Should the MCG be being blamed? Quote

Expand He gives them the contract every year and every year the same things happen. Ticketek are the same every year. These people are selling the AFL tickets to fans the performance is terrible every year. In the end the buck stops with the AFL It is their product being trashed. Just a thought but does that then not stop with the chief of the AFL. Quote

That said, it is not good enough for the AFL not to demand improvements. These companies make an absolute fortune from selling AFL tickets. If the AFL were serious they could sell their own tickets and cut out the middle man. 1 Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I know tickets aren’t sold out but everytime I get that notification I die a little inside. Quote
