TICKETING: 2023 Finals Week 01

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Ugh. This is so stressful.

[Pipefitter 2,159]

Ticketek are shambles. The gap between sales is not enough. There would have been people queuing for 10am clogging up the bandwidth for mcc members.

[Dees_In_October 3,380]

Seriously, I'd prefer a ballot to this.

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

Got em!

N14, brilliant!

[The heart beats true 18,123]

The theatre of the disappointment and frustration of this experience will keep the AFL on the front of the paper all week.

It's hard to believe any of it is an accident.

Any trick to it?

Well I hope the people that got our LL tickets appreciate them. You should get 15 minutes to purchase tickets. So close was through the paying stage.

So far no tickets.

Mcc gone

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

As part of the Taylor Swift rush they let it be known that there's no concept of a queue. The secret algorithm allocates you a spot when you enter. That's why people suggest multiple devices as you get more "tickets" in the algorithm lottery.

In their defence this is supposed to reduce computer bots

[sisso 2,580]

is a white knuckle ride waiting for this damn website to let me in....

[daisycutter 29,612]

got timed out at 9:59 ffs

now can't get back in

[Bates Mate 4,486]

Might just buy a Saints v GWS ticket and get there super early

[Jibroni 5,002]

I have decided to come over, found a seat in M8. Waited about 10 minutes.

Hope everyone else got in.

Keep in the queue, use multiple devices, pray to whatever cloud fairy you use

[fr_ap 2,478]

3 devices, not one has been let through yet...

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Waiting for 20 mins now in two devices.

I got in quicker via computer instead of on my phone (even though phone I was in the queue for 15 minutes longer)

[seventyfour 1,136]

Got lucky and got in early somehow. N54, amazing seats. Stoked.

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

We deceive a better system than this. selling bay by bay you can end up in the back row and a few minutes later next bay goes up and front rows on sale. Also Gap filling, they try and fill gaps in the stand instead of best seat available. The old day when you could walk into an agency and pick the seats you wanted were much better. Next come Grand Final ballot. We have paid for the Grand Final Guarantee but they will hit the four teams in the preliminary final with a nonreturnable fee. Two of those teams won't make it. How much money are they scamming off the fans.
