I am guessing the barcode will be different for every game on the app so I would say no you can't do that. Plus you can't screenshot your barcode either, when you do it comes up with a note stating that screenshots will not work to gain entry. I am curious as to how this can be the case unless it is scanning your phone at the same time but then how can a membership card work........ My brain hurts.

Just realised why, it's a QR code not a bar code so every game will definitely be a new QR code.

I wonder if you have to download a separate QR code for each VFL match as well

If you have to use the app to get in then I would say yes.

 

On a related topic I have got some strange emails from the membership depts managed presumably by the ticketing companies.

First was last week encouraging me to renew my MFC membership which was done 4 months ago. Yesterday I got one asking me to join the North Melbourne tipping comp. The footer said I had registered to receive updates from North Melbourne which of course I have never done.

In these days of cyber hacks you wonder how secure and maintained your data is. Not to mention where it is

Do screen shots work for Ticketmaster codes?

Not sure Loges, could always try it at the footy.

The Ticketmaster system doesn't seem as easy as Ticketek where you can just forward a SMS for extra tickets. You have to send to their email for Ticketmaster, just doesn't seem as simple

i believe (but don't quote me) that during covid lots of people transferred using screen shots. at least that's what i remember

I got the nm email too , and unsubscribed , I too am wondering . Are there others . Maybe a seperate thread . Not everyone reads every thread.

I have yet to receive my membership card (which i ordered as a back up - 50% of games i went to my phone would not scan though the turnstiles and i had to go via a person who scanned with a hand held device - as obviously others had to do given there was person at each gate for exactly that purpose - so bloody annoying as it involved basically lining up twice)

Has anyone else not yet received their card (nb: i paid my membership last Nov)?

Did you register? I hd no idea you had to register, but luckily I read on here that you need to opt in to get the pack. I called them last week to opt in, and apparently it is on the way, although the recorded message says 4 to 6 weeks.

I tried to download the tickets via the app, but kept getting an error. I tried logging into the club website, but it wasn't recognising my password. I tried resetting my password, but I was not getting the password reset email.

I was pretty p**d off by that stage and called the membership hotline, and they tell me that my issues were due to me being set to do not solicit.

Now I can't remember doing that, but do not solicit means no marketing emails. I did not get the email telling me I had to register to get the pack, I was not able to access my account on the club website or change my password, and most importantly I was not able to access game day tickets.

Absolute madness, paying for a premium membership and not being able to go the footy because I was set to do not solicit.

Not sure if i registered. But i def picked the get hard card option. And voucher not scarf. No pack as of yet, which given i paid up in no last year seems crazy. 

But i just checked and i could still download my electronic ticket on my app on my phone, which i've done.

So no issue getting into the ground thank goodness - well except for the fact there is 50 50 chance i won't be able to go through the turnstiles (it drives me spare waving my phone under the scanner waiting for that stupid green GO sign to flash - a situation made more frustrating when invariably the 16 year old attendee standing at the gate looks pityingly  at me like i only recently discovered the internet)

Yeah, I hear ya. It would be worth calling the membership hotline and seeing where it is.

I did screen shots of my barcode last year and it worked every time. I could always use the app if there was a problem, but never needed to.

Forwarded screen shot to mates when I couldn't go, no problems

I bought tickets for next week at the gabba and they have removed the option to print tickets at home. I mean, wtf, it's my resources being expended and I like to have a fail-safe confirmation in my hand. It's like they don't want people to attend. How have they added so much complexity to something that was and should be so simple.

Some of the comments telling people “it’s simple” are so condescending

I work in this space and it’s a totaL shonkfest (to borrow a term from my year 12 Gisborne SC English teacher, the bejewelled ex wrestler Mr Anderson).

multiple logins across multiple sites without SSO, it’s a farce

just look at the all the workarounds and carry on ***JUST TO BUY A TICKET TO THE FOOTBALL***
 

it’s 2023 - hello Artemis and James Webb - and the AFL and racketmaster and rackettek are still forcing this dog food on the proles

Agree

I bought tickets and did the online visa process for the World Cup in Russia in 2018. It was a breeze compared to the AFL ticketing monolith

You saw what it said when I did a screenshot, dunno what to tell ya just going by my experience.

It works. A QR code is a QR code, whether it's a screen shot or from the app

Not sure if you saw it before but when I screen shot my ticket which is a QR code it says it won't work.

I'm with you, I don't see why it wouldn't work just trying to save people headaches in case it doesn't.

Go use the membership  card you were offered to choose but have obviously ignored. How many  chances do you want when change is available.

The tickets are in your phone for scanning. Yes Many like the paper trail but really it's old hat!!

It would be worth you taking a break from posting while you are on the p**s.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
