I've been busy focussing on tickets...

Anyone know if Gill has shown his face? Haven't heard any grabs of him on recent news 

#where'sgilly?

Gil spotted at Melbourne Airport. On his way to the Bahamas.

Admit it, they do a balls out job of "servicing" their customers.

Looks like I've got prime seats in front of the TV. Tickets sold out from under my nose while I was waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting ... log in ...wait wait wait wait.... enter bar code, choose tix ... wait wait wait wait ... refresh .... more bays have disappeared ... have to log in again ... wait wait wait ... have to enter bar code for 100th time ... get message: "Please go back and try again. This was unexpected." Have to go back to start.

Finally get this: "There aren't enough tickets to meet your request right now. Please try a different ticket category or type, 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."

These guys need to apply for the world cup rights. They've got their f***kup game down pat.

 

there are no public sales on either. they were supposed to start at 1pm. no comment yet on when club member sales will recommence or when public sales will commence.

out of control

the other annoying issue is that when you do get in you are subject to a countdown timeout and whilst searching every location for ticket availability you inevitably timeout. Then when (if) you get back on you have to repeat all the input boxes.

surely you should be able to log on a few days earlier and do a pro-forma application. i.e. get all your details in (members barcode, credit card details, ticket number/type requirements, a list of ticket preferences by location/category and other miscellaneous  details) which are then saved for you. Then when the allocated time comes, simply login, retrieve saved data and it presents you with a list of available (really available) seats by your ticket preferences then you just click on the one that suits you. all done. this reduces the countdown timer problem, reduces data errors and clears the waiting queues for those not logged in

i really worry about the quality of it systems analysis these days. too much emphasis on fancy graphics and marketing, too little on system efficiency

Both Giants supporters have managed to get tickets.

Unfortunately they are not allocated to sit together .

Total stuff up!!

Don't worry Mazer, this is exactly what I experienced. Apparently after the initial meltdown everything started to screw up. Tickets will go back up on sale again when they have sorted out the sh$^ They assure us they aren't sold out and they won't open to the public until we have had a chance to purchase. There is no way an elimination final is going to sellout without getting to publicly available tickets.

Sen news says they will go on sale this afternoon with times to be announced: take that with a grain of salt. Would be smarter to do it tomorrow and the next day.

Not sure, but if you click on the Next button after receiving the red box it resets the clock ie don't re-select, just click Next.

was mentioned 30 mins ago. You'd think that sales will be this arvo given that AFL sales tomorrow.

Confirmed on SEN that club member tickets will still go on sale later this afternoon and they will be staggered between us and hawks v tiges.

Dont give up yet!

@daisycutter it's called agile

maybe, tux. i've heard good and bad stories about agile methodology, but like most methodologies it probably boils down to the key individuals driving it........but i take your point

Still haven't heard from him... ?

#where'sgilly?

Nothing in his contract to tie his bonus to ticketek performance, so where's the problem?

 

Given that there's a Ticketek outlet at KPark, and I'm of the impression that there would have been no problem there (until the on-line sales were halted at midday), I assume there's 1000's of Cats members who have got their tickets.

Does that affect our allocation, or are they divvied up as per the GF?

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
