I have been to a lot of Melbourne Final over my lifetime. I have never been to one where they have lost. The fact that I could not get a ticket last week and can not get on this week has me worried. 

We will pay for your ticket then or maybe take mine ;)

I’m hoping there’ll be some $35 GA tickets later today as I prefer to stand. 

so bizarre that they control the bays individually and open them slowly

I also stand and wanted anywhere in Warne Stand Category 7.
Nothing available so got Ponsford for $40. 
Not happy with that bought M2 for $60. Have since found out I can access M9 standing from Ponsford. If you want a cheap tik ($30) you can have the first one.

My brother used it to see me at Cats Pies. @Clayton spirit didn’t mention it was guarded. He was in M30 and I was at M55 standing room.

Yeah. Mentioned elsewhere. Handy to know but I reckon it’ll be manned. 

Definitely wasn't manned on the weekend

About 9:50, got in 10:25. Also bought tickets to Pies Dockers for an 11:00 window. Logged on at 10:58, in at 11:03!

Seems completely random/lucky dip wait times.

Yep won't be jumping on that early again, just got lost in the system by the looks of it.

Got in at 9:08am and the best I could get for 3 members was row MM level 4. If it was Melb v Rich I could cop it. Not Melb v Bris. I'll take my chances on walk-up

And then I got bloody rippa seats for the Coll v Freo game! Cant win!

Same! Got three seats directly on wing on level 1 for that game. Not luck getting multiples anywhere other than level 4 for our game. 

$35 shane warne stand tickets now available for anyone interested. Took 2 mins to book

I’m stuffed if I know why tickets now available weren’t available this morning. Makes no sense. I spent $60 more than if I had waited.

My experience this morning:

Logged on 9.00 got connected 9.10

Wanting 2 seats on Level 1 - none available

Went to Level 4  - got 2 in Row GG. Cancelled these

Tried again Level 4 - got Row Z. Cancelled these

Tried again Level 4 - got Row AA - Cancelled these . Determined Ticketek is a scam and throught try Level 1 again.

Five goes and no tickets available. Not even a single.

6th try Level 1 - Got Row , M47 - . Purchased. Punched the air.

What I learnt about Ticktek:

1. No Queue in place - no matter what they say.

2.  Absolutely random allocation (see level 4 booking patterns)

3. Entire ground not available all at once

4. When it says "none available", as it did when I tried for 1 ticket in Level 1, logically that menas sold out. And ground are should have read " allocation exhausted". No it doesn't. Coz its not , they are justing holding back.

5. Ticketek system is marginally fit for purpose and one rung above the NBN.

And we pay $7.70 for the priviledge.

I'm writing a strongly worded letter to Gil and the MCC just to make me feel better.

I can only repeat, what crap  Ticketek is.   Being a member and having early access to tickets before being opened to the general public means diddly squat. In fact you can be disadvantaged.

At 10 am I tried to book seats on level two  (I don’t like being on the terrace) but even though I chose level 2 (and the message was ‘seats available’) it always came up with seats in the terrace.  I tried this using both the premium and general member options. I canceled and tried again and again, it was bloody hopeless.


After exiting the system and logging back in I eventually got seats on the top tier in the Shane Warne stand (reasonably close to the front) when I elected general MFC member (not premium).  Could not get seats anywhere on level 2.

Just for the heck of it  I had a play  this arvo and I tried to get seats under ‘general admission’. I could have got seats on level 2! (which were not available earlier in the day) 

The Ticketek system really sucks. And for all the non members getting good seats….Good on you, barrack hard!  I have no issue with you, just with effing Ticketek.

so stupid.  maybe they assume members only want to book expensive tickets?  All available bays should be open FCS!

hopefully you can sell off the other ticket

Ticketek having a lend with members vs general.

As others have stated, you're more often than not disadvantaged as a member (unless you are wanting to by tickets en masse!).

Last week on the Tuesday i clicked on M4 level one.  It clearly offered me those and i ordered 6 tickets.  It then did a gateway error 404 on me after i entered Cc details & hit the 'purchase' button.

So i figured i'd been unsuccessful and went to try again.  However, i then thought "hang on...better check Ticketek account just in case the error wasn't an error".

After logging on to my account...low and behold there's my 6 tickets.  Haha you beauty Newc i thought!   But wait... hang on a mini... why does it say bay M50 Level 4 Olympic Stand!?? 🤔

So instead of allocating me my Level 1 M4 bay seats right next to cheer squad (as selected)... it hopped me into Lvl Olympic 4 up with the seaguls during the supposed gateway error!

After a long winded episode filling out a refund form and chasing what appeared to be a dodgy contact who had English spelling / grammer issues representing Ticketek... i finally got my refund on the Thurs.  Then re-purchsed the correct 6 tickets after more Ticketek errors on the Friday.  I seriously figured these tickets would be incorrect also but with a sigh of relief they got this second attempt right.

All up i think i spent 2 hours getting on (twice), filling in details, filling in refund forms, correspondence back & forth between Ticketek contact etc.

What a shocking process / system they're running here.  What year is this again ....1992?

Edited by Demon Dynasty

I tipped off a mate re not taking cr#p seats, try again and you may get better seats. He thanks me for that advice, got much better seats on the fourth attempt!!!!

Ridiculous system.. surely the best seats should be available to those who log on first.  The system simply allocates seats bay by bay .... so if you get offered bad seats,, don't take them. Keep trying until you get OK seats.


This is the most ludicrous system ever invented. I've never seen such confusion and frustration. 

Such a load of crap.

Thanks for this Its very useful.

I too was in at 9.04am. Got 8 tix in M40 Row HH. Absolute Bulldust.

I didn't want to cancel the transaction though as I was arranging tickets for a bunch of friends and I though with 8 ppl it would be too risky to get them again.

I hate Ticketek

 

 

And whats worse is that the AFL blame Ticketek and Ticketek say its the AFL allocation policy they have nothing to do with it.

 

Classic BS beauracracy

I got one seat m6 level 1 smack bang in the middle of everyone

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
