Ok so I finally got into the club and the below error message is correct, so long as it shows the games when I log in everything is fine. Only shows tickets 72 hours prior to the game. I suggested to the membership bloke maybe not have an error message but a screen starting that barcodes only available 72 hours prior to the game and he responded with "that's controlled by tickettek" so no hope of being properly informed lol.

Thanks for the help and suggestions @layzie

Have George but won't arrive for weeks.

Not much the club can do when it is controlled by outside interests. Good to see you were able to get it sorted out.

No worries! Glad it's all sorted. 


On another note, but same theme as the OP, I'm an interstate member in WA and the ticket allocation for Melbourne members at Optus is farcicly small, sells out in minutes. Also, my email from the club advising me of the ticket release came the day before they went on sale and my barcodes were missing! Not happy. Had to pay full price for my family's tickets.

that's not good enough

to protest, you should take your business elsewhere

oh, wait a minute

I really like that we now have both the option of a physical card, so I don't have to muck around with downloading the ticket, and also the digital version.

The digital membership and ticketing makes it really easy if you want to pass your ticket along to someone else without physically needing to give them your membership card.

Amen to that George, it is amazing in this digital world of the 21st century that the ticket system is so poor.

just spoke with our membership department, which as most of you know is a call centre for all 18 teams!, and no matter your ticket/membership class, you cannot buy a ticket now to our Ess V Dees.

So, we will have stacks of empty seats for our game as Port supporters straggle in during Q4 of our game.

I'm shattered.

Sounds like that has been very well thought out.

It is an Essendum home game isn't it      then its thought out a bit

No ones home game and each team gets 900k IIRC.

Don't worry about not getting a ticket as you probably wouldn't have found affordable accommodation

Gather round and I'll tell you a story about a man named Gil

A poor mountaineer but he kept the clubs fed

Then one day while shooting at a bear up from the ground came a a guzzling ooze

Port play the dogs immediately after our 'curtainraiser' finishes.

Its the only double header not involving a SA side. Obviously the sellout refers to the Port game.  How many will bother to show for the first game?  

Another brilliant idea by Tricky Gil.

I grabbed 4 tickets when the club sent an email last year about this particular round. I was fearing paying through the roof for accomodation, but luckily found somewhere cheap for a couple of nights. Looking forward to this road trip now, the city could be buzzing that weekend.

Which other games are you heading to?

As you said, should be a cracking weekend of footy in Adelaide. Can’t wait.

We do have our own staff. Our membership dept. is based at the admin offices at the ‘G.

The tickets included the Port/Dogs game so we’ll hang around for that one after ours.

Now this type of behaviour takes me back to the 70,s

hope you have a designated driver. We did he was the only one over 18 with a car.

enjoy !

Sat not Friday

How strange. Can someone please tell me why 2 Victorian clubs are playing each other in Adelaide? Are we going to see Freo playing West Coast at the Junction Oval next?

 

There will be more tickets that go on sale closer to the game. There will be unallocated corporate allocations and these normally go on sale a few days before the games.

And both have absolutely zero accountability or ability to get a refund or change in ticketing.

Really?   Yesterday all I could get was high up in level 4.

No mate, they have only put Q45-Q48 rows A-X on sale.

Row X is not high up level 4, its a little over half-way up (goes up to row MM).

Most of level 4 has not gone on sale so we are relying on most MCC members to be walking up on the night

Level 1 reserved seating is sold out but over half of level 1 is for walk ups.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
