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.

    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.

    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
