Hi all. This is me and my son. We filmed his reaction as we thought he'd be pretty happy with the tickets and we'd share it with my Dad and sisters who are also keen Dees fans. We did not expect the l

I think it’s great Demonlanders are assisting other Demonlanders with gaining tickets to the final.

There is a decent amount of human error stupidity in this. 3 of Week 1 finals tickets are sold thru Ticketek: Rich/Haw have over 180,000 paid up members.  Demons/Cats have total of

It’s to do with the number of tickets each club gets allocated. We have less members and less members with guaranteed finals ticket access. Therefore we get 2 per membership. Tigers would get 1. Even tho they have 100,000 and we have 45,000, the allocation of member priority access seating numbers is the same. I think it’s around 16,000 or so. That’s why the cost of these premium memberships go up the more likely a club is to make finals, as numbers and seat allocations are capped.

I have a guaranteed GF ticket membership. Not sure any membership category guarantees a 'finals ticket access'.

I ended up getting my tickets today, bloody lucky. 

I got all the way through and then when the payment was processing it crashed. 

I checked my credit card and the charge had gone through.

Hopefully it runs smoothly for all the Demonlanders tomorrow. 

Just a tip if you are buying several tkts, then put your member barcodes on a word doc tonight and then just cut and paste.  Make sure that each member number is under the next one.

So do I. And you’re right not every level of membership gets you guaranteed final ticket access.

I'm saying that I don't reckon any level of membership guarantees a non-GF finals ticket. As you know, Platinum members can access GF tickets a full day before other members. There's no such facility for lead up finals.

Login to your Ticketek account and go to 'order history'. Scroll down and you can print out your tickets from pdf, regardless of how you requested them. I requested mine by mobile ticket, but chose to print them off as a back up to mobile qr.

Already downloaded and printed this morning ??

So when those 16K allocations are taken up by 8k members and a guest each, that means only 8k of our membership of 45K get a chance.  Surely the club would want 16k of members to get a seat? 

And perhaps the people who sign up for 3 game memberships at the end of the season should be lower priority than those who have been full members for years.

I strongly urge anyone to try a Ticketek outlet tomorrow if they can.

After struggling like everyone else online, I went to my local outlet. The operator showed me his screen and could see every seat that was in somebody’s cart, and unable to be sold. I also saw Ticketek trying to reboot, suspending sales, and every seat in the G becoming unavailable. 

5 mins after the reboot, we secured seats for a group of 9, all seated together.

Will try and do it after I go to the SEC to pay my electricity bill.

After you’ve done that maybe head past HMV and see if they have any positive outlook on life tapes you can play as you drift off to sleep at nights.

Anyone with half a brain would have seen this coming, my wife asked me last night about buying a ticket I told her it was today but the site will probably crash as all games get released at the same time, absolutely laughable that they didn’t see this coming 

It's happened every year for the last 4 years, it happens at the start of the season too when they have a brief window of presale tickets for AFL members to purchase seats for any game of the year. There's only about 60k AFL members and it can't even handle that. Last year for the Geel/Rich QF AFL members were buying seats on level 4 as that's all they though they could get. Half an hour later they reboot the system and plenty of tickets are available on level 1.

For all those who missed out today, jump on again tomorrow as I think you'll find things run a lot smoother. The anxiety caused by these recurring fuckups and the utter lack of care for those affected (evidenced by their continual failure to do anything to fix it) is disgusting. But I think most on here will find by this time tomorrow they'll have their tickets secured.

I have pretty much rationalised I will be watching on TV dl4e. It does beggars  belief that after all  the crap we have gone through dreaming about playing finals over the last decade and when we finally get there we are prevented from going because of their incompetence. As I left the ground last sunday night I was wondering where I would get a seat for Friday week. Never thought it would be my lounge room.

Jump on again tomorrow OD I think you'll find you'll have better luck.

Got on with my computer just after 9 am and was successful in getting all the way to the end, putting in credit card details etc.  After a delay it through me out and said i would need to refresh the browser and start again.  I did that and kept trying to get in for another 45 mins with no luck.  I then went on with my phone and got straight through and booked 2 tickets with a confirmation email  sent at 9.52am.  Now at 8.10pm tonight i get another email with the original two tickets I was booking.  Now I have 4 tickets 2 in N8 and 2 in M50.  What a joke!

Quick question - does the MFC take the gate revenue as it's our home Final? Or is it split with Geelong?

Asked that the other day but haven’t had a response, interested to know as well.

 

As far as I'm aware AFL keeps the gate for all finals.

Can Ticketek reimburse my family for the $$$ we lost not working today?

You and anyone else in a similar situation should invoice Ticketmaster for lost income due to gross incompetence.

 

if anyone could mock up a genuine invoice that people could enter their details and send it to them (and the media) I would love to see their response, this is BS and I feel for all of you that got screwed over today

Funnily enough, i was trying to get seats in M50 this morning. If you're wanting to sell one of them, i'm more than happy to pay!

Damn shame that so many missed out today. You can’t come up with any more words to describe today’s events. 

What more could go wrong tomorrow? Double booked seats?

I didn't even know these oulets existed anymore... May I ask where you went ?

I think this could be a disaster. I already had tickets to all finals but tried today for a friend, had the drama of it timing me out but it deducted my credit card, now tonight I get an email saying I have an extra 2 tickets, 4 in total, when I only chose 2 and was only allowed 2. WTF?!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
