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

Me too. Totally confused by that interweb thingy.

PS I graduated in 1975 with a degree in Computer Science.

We were using punchcards to be fed into a mainframe the size of a bus back then!

This includes anyone who holds an AFL or club membership by the way, your credit card details on file.

companies that need to use credit cards do it hands off in conjunction with a third party and encryption

no need to store credit cards locally in any readable form

Hundreds, possibly thousands of hours transferring code in Fortran, Algol and COBOL onto cards never to use one iota of what I learnt - ended up teaching maths!

The exponential advancement of microcircuits/microchips basically took computers to unthinkable levels. What is quantum technology going to achieve?🤔

more AI of course

and AI will be like social media - lots of good things ... but lots of bad things too

eventually you won't be able to tell if text, a voice, a picture or a video is real or generated.

nothing will be unequivocally real, the truth will become an archaic concept that historians and philosophers will ponder over

AFL member. Logged on at 2:30. Could only get tickets for top level 7 rows from the back. Bringing oxygen mask 

Oh yeah? MFC member. Logged in two weeks ago. Could only get a standing room ticket. Bringing hemorrhoid cream.

Ticketmaster supposedly hacked and now Ticketek.

The available evidence at this time indicates that, from a privacy perspective, your name, date of birth and email address may have been impacted,” the company said in emails to people who had bought tickets through the company

Might be easier to just email the hackers next time and see if they can get you a ticket

That way we’ll be the comment of this week.

[old dee 23,788]

I have given up going to this game when it is a pies home game. Any seat I am likely to get is in the oxygen mask section. TV for me sadly but thats life somethings you have to accept gracefully. 

[FearTheBeard 1,223]

Have 1 ticket on level 2A of the AFL Reserve that I’m looking to offload.

in Bay P21, would like it to go to a demon.

Im in the MCC so won’t be using this one.

A shipload of money for the government selected business in California to build a QC in Queensland

 

1 billion dollars with no equity ahhhh what a gyp

[Deebymistake 779]

Long shot, but if anyone is looking to offload two tickets, please message me.  It is standing room only now for general members. I left it far too late......

how'd you get 2a?!??

i was feeling lucky i got level m, not q

normally i rock up to the g, scan in gate 6, make me way to 2a with a "i know where i'm going vibe", but this is one of the few games were i sit in an assigned seat

Like you, my old man and I walk into 2A for any games against saints/dogs/north/Hawks/Cats or interstate teams and sit in the unused Medallion Club seats.

I reserve against the bigger sides and know a few tricks that get me in early for the on sale.

I reserve against the bigger sides and know that they hold back P21 and P23 until the week of the game for all Melbourne, Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn and Essendon home games. 
 

yesterday they went on sale for both Sunday night and Monday.

i had no idea about that

how absurd

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,817]

@FearTheBeard what sort of crowd are they expecting?

Is it a genuine 95,000 sell out?

Or a Clayton's sell out of 78,000?

A genuine sellout, but that is 85-88 these days. Almost impossible to get to 90,000 for any game other than Anzac Day during the home and away season.

I now can't attend Monday's game so would like to offer the ticket to a D'lander.  It is in a demon bay M4 Row K.  Demon Army is right next door in bay M3.

I think it cost $65.  I do not want payment but would appreciate a donation to a charity which I will suggest when I forward the ticket.

PM me if interested.

Surprised so many are turning up considering our poor form recently and Collingwood injury issues.

Hope its not a fizzer.

Must win this. Attack at all costs and tackle relentlessly all day. Thats how we won a flag.

Do this and we win.

Not complicated.
