The second the fixture was announced the cost of flights to Perth soared. It’s during school holidays and it’s also Easter weekend.

Up until our bye round, this is the only match I won’t be attending. Partly because of the criminally high airfare and partly because Perth. 😁

Long weekend, would have been even more perfect!

Might be able to get my tickets tomorrow when we get access with our memberships, after the farce of yesterday.

Does anybody know how you can purchase a ticket for the Demon's Round 4 match against the Eagles in Perth?

The ticketmaster website has plenty of Seats available but you need a code to unlock it. Demon's membership numbers, Demons barcode numbers any number I have associated with my membership cannot unlock a single ticket that is available on that website.

I am not a luddite and I have never had any problem securing tickets for any interstate venue including this one. Surely an opposition supporter can get a ticket for this match.

Does anybody have any information that can help me here?

Your mistake Andy is expecting things to be easy on ticket master! There will be plenty of tickets, weagles fans won't be booking it out this year.

Whatever you do don't book on Jetstar that is a long flight for them. Probably arrive the day after the game. How does a weekend in Kalgoorlie grab you?

Funnily enough, during half time at the first Derby there at Optus, Virgin ran a spin-the-wheel promotion that gave one lucky fan the chance to score a free flight to a particular destination somewhere around the World. Guess what the poor fan won: a free flight from Perth to Kalgoorlie!

Yeah not a chance! Was meant to get back to Melb at 12:15am in Jan and that became 2am!

You were lucky that is on time in Jetstar speak.

Got my member tickets for the game., they have put us in bay 333, which is opposite end of our cheer squad.

So I guess I must be too late, as Ticketmaster site says they couldn't find any tickets! Should I take it up with membership? Seems ludicrous that the Dees allotment would be sold out so soon, but then ...?

Still $2000 worth of value. 🤣

From Membership: Allocation is exhausted and waiting on WCE to release more seats! - its optional for them (which I cant see happening looking at the available GA seats on sale).

Elected to purchase GA tickets where I wanted to sit rather than where Ticketmaster wants me to, and effectively my one free ticket of the year becomes redundant. Frustrating to say the least.

Just found my Email. Tried now to redeem but all gone. System sucks bad.

Did you try a "dry" area. They were available a while ago behind the cheer squad, but not my cuppa tea (excuse the pun).

I did but all gone. I ended up buying a GA ticket as well.  I don’t really care much for a seat. I am just as happy standing if I’m on my own. During the GF I left my seat and watched the whole game standing from the ends we were kicking to.

'twas a night to remember, certainly. My only ever GF, in my (now) home state, just a pity it wasn't against WCE.

It’s Easter Sunday, so don’t be surprised if they do actually release seats

It’s actually the better end of the ground to watch from, you won’t be looking into the sun. Last time I was seated at that end of Optus was 25/Sep/2021 what a day/night that was

Yes I know, But its often fun to sit with he cheer squad and that atmosphere.  Hoping for a good game with no lightning..

As a 26 year loyal member, Player Sponsor and every other type of fanatical group. No wonder a older generation or people in general are frustrated with the digital Ticketing system. I understand the digital world since 1980, but the current situation of Ticketing is a absolute debacle to members and the general public.

Today I tried to book two guests into the MCC. I have 3 guest passes. Category 2.

Ticketek along with the MFC mobile Ticketing system is a disgrace. 

Took more than 30 mins 3 re logins, as you were redirected to different websites. Barcodes wernt recognised with guest passes. 

I shake my head.

But I have 2 guests coming @$93

Go Deez.

Not only that but at the moment you can only book MCC tickets for the first 3 rounds.

Ticketek is a disgrace.  Admittedly we are not young, but it's not as if we are out-of-date oldies who are fazed by technology.   This household has at least 3 professional IT people in it who have even written the sort of stuff Ticketek is trying to do and we struggle getting it to do what we want in an efficient manner.

[biggestred 5,014]

Ticketek are among the worst companies in the country. Trying to get customer service from them is impossible. 

[daisycutter 29,600]

duopoly

[RalphiusMaximus 6,018]

It's a sad fact of life that both Ticketek and Ticketmaster are a complete disgrace when it comes to anything resembling customer service or providing a quality customer experience.
