awsome only wasted 9-4 of my day, got an hour til knock off.

I swear to god if I try at 1pm tomorrow and the whole thing is a bust again, I will lose my sh*t. 

Nobody has this much time to waste on a busted up old website. 
 

Lets hope the big traffic from the Hawks v Tigers game dies down significantly by 1pm.

Yep. I'm gonna have to stay back to actually get some work done now. 

Rich/Hawks game on sale from 11.00 so hopefully they are all done by 1.00pm

Would have liked our game first as it will have the less demand on the system.  But hey, they aren't too smart when it comes to common sense...

AFL members go on sale on Thursday again at staggered times.

Do we still have the option to purchase an extra ticket for a guest?

At this stage we don’t even have the option of a functioning website to purchase any tickets at all!

I guess they've done it by order of when the games are on, which makes sense.

It should have always been staggered. Rich vs Hawks should have been today- members, then MCC, then AFL, then general release, followed by Melb vs Geelong tomorrow and so on. 

It's really not rocket science is it? 

I feel like if a 5 year old was in charge of the ticketing system, I would have gotten my tickets and a lollipop by now.

I know it won't help you much if you're after an extra MCC ticket, but I'll probably have spare barcodes if you'd like to use them to get your dad a ticket. 

Tweet from the club that there is still plenty of availability.

Does anyone know how many tickets the MFC is allocated for this match?

As in member allocation?

I think its 16,000 per club, but don't quote me on that.

What the actual ****? I've been in back to back meetings all day. I hear my mate who was in front of a PC refreshing 6 screens at 9 had trouble getting through. I now come on here to find that most of you haven't even got tickets! What on Earth is going on?

AFL at its finest layzie, they could not orginise a five cent toilet.

As a frustrated MCC member who can't get MCC visitors tickets, I'll be buying a few kids tickets using MFC memberships that haven't seen a shot in anger all year and then getting pass outs from the MCC reserve in to the public reserve so that we can keep our group together.

Surely must be more than  that for a first round match

NO  MCC reserved seats left, tried to buy at 1200pm as instructed by club

couldnt get through for 2 hours only to be told none are left and get this the gates to the MCC will open at 5.00pm game day

imagine the crowd lining up to get wlk up sets 

What a bloody fiasco

Jaded, my daughter got 4 tickets this morning using multiple devices but said the phone was the best and only device that worked. Good luck!   This is an absolute joke what they are putting all the supporters through. 

Ticketek waiving the transaction fee due to the ticket fiasco 

Just received official email from the club. 

Additional info:  "TRANSACTION FEE WAIVED Club Members will not be charged the Ticketek transaction fee of $7.25 for Week 1 Finals games at the MCG."

A small gesture.  Still a bitter experience.

Are the $35 GA tickets allocated specific seats or just an area? Was planning on going with an MCC friend with a visitor ticket (but sold out) so I’m wondering if we can still sit in GA area with my ticket and he gets in with his MCC pass.

Good luck to everyone else on tickets but this 10+ years consecutive member is pretty much out.

My partner took the day off work to get 2 seats with no luck. I raced home at lunch and missed an hours work. We can’t afford to do it all again tomorrow, so will miss out. 

It never ceases to amaze me how amateur the AFL is. We’ve all been waiting 12 years for this and just get spat on. So much money and time spent supporting a club only to go through this rubbish. I do understand not everyone can go to a finals game, but I didn’t even get a chance.

So a big F..U.. to the AFL. Sell the tickets to those who have stuck around and bleed for the clubs you dirty money hungry pricks.

I also only could get thru on the phone and not on the PC

Jack son 5,

If you're willing to send me your barcodes i can get your 2 seats when i collect mine tomorrow. PM me.

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