Yeah I just double checked. The number's the same throughout those two emails I mentioned and the email from yesterday about finals tickets (plus I've got the physical card which has this number on it).

Things would be quite quirking if they could just tell us it's the number on the card.

Good luck today everyone!

Remember to be patient, they release bays at staggered times when they start selling out so if it says no availability just keep trying.

If our allocation gets full you can always try the Collingwood allocation. It is unlikely it will completely sell out in the member on sale.

AFL members like me, god help us all.

Any ideas which bays get released first? I desperately want to sit in M50

Flights from Brissie booked now. Please oh please Ticketek don't fail me now you cobbled together chain of pentium 386's.

Never been to a MFC final in my life adfter 56 years of supporting and over 15 years as a member.

Any tips for seating and getting tickets smoothly?

Make sure I'm logged in at 09:45am with our 2 bar codes ready to go I assume.

Try three different devices if possible, but connected to different networks (e.g. desktop connected to house WiFi, phone connected to your 5G network).

Is there any cure or remedy for the 'becoming a rabid animal before tickets go on sale' syndrome I'm currently dealing with right now? 

I've turned into this junkyard dog that isn't even speaking in English to my colleagues and peers right now.

How good is Ticketek?!

[Demon_spurs 1,853]

I believe the Colliewobble members are allocated access at the same time. Should be a fun morning

[Superunknown 4,217]

MCC Ticket acquired - Spent far too long in the ticketek lounge and by the time I got out the portion of seats available on Level 1 & 2 were gone. Thursday night means i'll struggle to get there early for for a good walk up or level 3 seat so I am up on Level 4 for the first time in a while, but I will be there, Go Dees.

Out of curiosity Beard are restricted members not able to buy visitor tickets for this game? Asking for a friend (seriously)

[Demonland 72,193]

is there any benefit to already being in the queue on ticketek before 10am?

MCC is 9am

[Lord Travis 10,730]

Christ. 3 different devices on 2 different networks and only just got through. Ticketek site then timed out when I got to the end. Back into the queue I go. I [censored] hate this pathetic scum of a site

[jnrmac 20,065]

I hate Ticketek

 

Had tix then it shut my browser down, couldn't get back in .

[Canplay 634]

I got through after about 12 mins but MCC visitor tickets were already gone -  13y.o daughter is going to be gutted tonight

I understand that but for the Club Members does it make a difference in regards to the queue if you are on the site with the auto-refresh prior to 10am?

I recall last year I was in the queue at 10am and it was refreshing and refreshing and I then went in on my phone and got straight in.

I guess what I'm saying is there an actual queue or is it just random.

It is random and if you jump on before 10am you might get through a bit early and can't buy tickets but the 10 minute timer already starts counting so it reduces the amount of time you can get the tickets sorted. This happened to me for Kings birthday and it timed out and kicked me back to the "queue" and had to wait another 10-15 minutes before getting back in.

[dees189227 12,394]

Had tickets then got timed out. Ugh

[Demonland 72,193]

trying to checkout before the timer runs out.

[Lord Travis 10,730]

Tickets timed out. MCC now showing as sold out. I loathe these online ticketing websites. The only way I can be repaid for this [censored] is to bathe in the blood of the Ticketek CEO while watching us win from the boundary line somehow.

as per taylor swift, it's a complete lottery - the allocation of tickets is random entry

you could log in now and be waiting in the queue for 2 hours and not get tickets or you could log in at 10.11am and go straight through and get tickets

it's a random entry system
