Just popping in to express my extreme hatred for ticketek

The most frustrating thing is when you're just about to pay and it times you out.

Without being difficult, I've never understood how people allow the timer to run down to the point where you get timed out during a payment.

If you have 7 minutes, surely that gives you at least 4 minutes to choose your seats and more than enough time to enter your card details?

You obviously haven’t seen my wife in action when it comes to all or anything remotely related to computers or mobile phones.

I get tickets with a 71 year old and if he gets in first he buys them for us and has no problems.

people just have to be willing to learn how to use it

75%+ of The MCC reserved seats would have been taken up my Melbourne supporters. 
I got in at 10:02 and it was already selling really well, no surprises that by 10:10’it was single seats only on level 1.

was the same for the afl reserve.

I had 3 devices going, got in on my phone first on 4G about 2:08pm I reckon. Was surprised to be able to get 9 tickets in M18 so I'll be representing amongst the scum and villainy in the AFL members. Will make it all the more sweet if we can knock them off, we bloody owe them (more than 1)!

Ye it seemed like because they didn’t allow guest passes on level 1 that it allowed for most members that wanted level 1 to get level 1.

Was amazing how fast level 4 sold because that was where the guests went.

hope you make lots of noise in M18, I’m planning on rustling some feathers in the MCC with some proper barracking.

The only people who have problems are the people who vent their frustrations here or on various forums.

Just like anything else in life, you don’t hear from the people that don’t have problems so it just seems like everything is bad

Good idea not to let guest passes on level 1 but probably should look at disallowing them on the initial sale altogether!

Don't worry I always make plenty of noise against the Pies, it's in my DNA. Even as a kid my dad tried to stop me singing Grand Old Flag walking out of Vic Park after Jakovich booted 7 and cost the Pies the minor premiership. I sung it all the way back to Hoddle St and got plenty of dirty looks along the way.

Ticketek is an ordinary site. Just last week kids were trying to buy tickets for some popular singer and the site kept crashing. People can't even get in or buy footy tickets when some popular kids singer comes to town and tix go on sale. They need to lift their game big time do ticketek. They are making an absolute mozza with fees and shiit and simply have to be better.

My sister is a 31 yr old school teacher and she couldn’t figure out how to buy a GA ticket. I literally had to screen shot it for her Ste by step. S school teachers make me worry sometimes

Some popular singer lol. Olivia Rodrigo is massive currently, but everyone I know who wanted tickets got tickets.

The website is archaic and isn't good at all, but I maintain, you just have to learn how to use it because it isn't going to be changing any time soon.

The fees are are a separate nonsense, but we have it better than most. $7.70 for servicing fees at Adelaide oval on top of $120 tickets.

You clearly missed out on the ticketek shenanigans that that country bumpkin Taylor Swifty or something caused.

Trust me, i have 4 kids and i didn't miss out on the fun of trying to get tickets to Tay Tay.

That was like lockdown all over again, no one on the roads, schools or playgrounds.

@WalkingCivilWar, has Collingwood confirmed if we have all of M3?

They gave us a generous allocation (compared to tight-arzes Richmond and Carlton) and we’ve (the DA) bought the rest of the bay. So yes, it’s all ours.

Me too. Totally confused by that interweb thingy.

As an aside Ticketmaster (the main competitor of Ticketek) was reportedly hacked recently and the data of 560M users is now up for sale.

Yep, they're owned by live nation. A Us and Saudi owned conglomerate.

I'm sure they'll be sensitive and remorseful for what's happened and will be compensating their customers generously.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
