jnrmac 20,375 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 The farce that is Ticketek has been failing for the past 2.5 hours. It is a shocking clunky system when it works. And that is rarely Can't get any tickets for the Swans Dees game. Have tried only to be booted out at the last point after inputing all details for 10 tickets. Names, phone numbers, member numbers, credit card details. Its a freaking joke Every week there is some glitch. Ticketek needs to be shunted. 2.5 hours of my life I won't get back and I can't get tickets. Anyone that is wondering why crowds are down this is a big part of it. 2 1 Quote

Grand New Flag 3,227 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Its a absolute disgrace. Ended up with seperate seats for my son and I on level 3 MCC as the system seemed upable to cope with buying more than 1 ticket at a time. Hopefully we can shuffle this around on the day as as we can sit next to each other. Its time the Government let a return to normal ticketing proceedures. 2 1 Quote
jnrmac 20,375 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Posted May 3, 2021 Even more annoying is that you get to the end of the process and it kicks you out. Each time that is a wasted 15 minutes 1 2 Quote

jnrmac 20,375 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Posted May 3, 2021 Almost as annoying as having to wait 60 seconds to post a second time on this forum. Ludicrous 3 Quote
Range Rover to the snow 146 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 I got tickets eventually, after about half an hour of trying and with eight or nine failed attempts. Absolutely hopeless... Fortunately, the seats I did get were pretty good (M46 just undercover)... 3 Quote
Kent 2,920 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) I was kicked off 3 times had to re-input all the info got kicked off again didn't know if tickets were processed Had to re -input to see that the tickets were processed Surely there are better systems available or they should rewrite the software Its a Joke!

Why cant the sytem remember your request details and save it to use after you are timed out So clunky it hurts 2 Quote

I eventually gave up. They have suspended MCC ticket sales until the problem is fixed. It’s bloody hopeless. I spoke to the MCC, who assured me the seats are not sold out, but the sales were suspended until they rectified the problems. As others note, this is sole reason that crowd attendance is down this year. People do not have the patience to engage a flawed system. If you aren’t tech savvy, it’d be even more of a nightmare. 3 1 Quote
Flower Magic 776 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 In defence of Ticketek, I logged on at about 10.00am, "bought" my three MCC Reserve seats and logged out. Smooth transaction, took about 60 seconds from start to finish. 1 Quote
Antioch 235 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 I had the same problems but finally got tickets. When we were in the finals in 2018 I spent hours online trying to secure tickets via Ticketek. They provide a woeful service and have the gall to charge fees! Quote
Range Rover to the snow 146 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) I don't understand why Ticketek doesn't stagger the ticket releases so that their servers aren't hammered quite so much... Anyway, sales resume at 3PM... Edited May 3, 2021 by Range Rover to the snow 2 Quote

I had the same issue multiple trying to process a standard CC payment. I think the CC Gateway is getting slammed and can't handle the traffic (i reckon the $$ they would make to fix the issue is probably less than the money they would make by fixing it sadly). I changed my payment method to Clicktopay and it worked first time (before 10am this morning) 1 Quote

It’s a joke of a system Quote

I logged on at 905 and didnt get tickets until 10.10 In early rounds, I had the experience of completing my order and being kicked off, but it was because I wasn't putting in the number of seats for each MCC member for whom I was buying tickets (myself and siblings). But for the last two or three rounds, buying my seats has been a breeze. With regard to your delay today, maybe I just got lucky and logged in at a time when the system was working? Quote

Dee Zephyr 19,311 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Is the 10 ticket limit only for MCC members? Club members email still states 6 max per transaction. Quote
