So I just tried to book my tickets and after waiting in the queue and finalising payment, Ticketek decided to boot me out with a gateway timeout…. I’ve no idea if I secured my tickets. Anyone else have the same problem?

 

Ironic surprised emoji required.

 

I had the same Ticketek timeout problem upon payment however I persisted trying to pay over and over for another 5 minutes when I received an email confirmation of the tickets and the payment hit my credit card.

My other issue was that the link from the club's Gather Round email routed you into the queue for the Melbourne v Essendon game only whereas I wanted to get one of the 3 game multi passes (was unable to change this after getting through the long, long wait queue) so now I'll have to try my luck with the general admin sale tomorrow to "gather" tickets for those other matches.

I had exactly the same experience after sitting in the queue on my computer. When I went back in, and put in my barcodes again, the no cost option that I'd initially selected was no longer available. That meant either that I'd been successful, or that the relatively small number of free tickets had all gone while I'd been faffing about trying to work out what had happened. Some bad words were said about Ticketek. Then I had the bright idea of checking the Ticketek app on my phone. Eureka! Tickets there! I've still got bad words about Ticketek, not for the first time, but at least this time I have the tickets.

It looks like I have my tickets in the end. Looking at other football forums it seems most people have had issues. Hope fellow Demonlanders have secured their tickets!

I got timed out the first time when I was up to my Visa card security code… swearing could be heard a block and a half away! I was then placed at 30500 in the queue to re-select. Four hours later I finally secured two tickets. Ticketek (and club) system ridiculously complex.

My wife had the same gateway timeout issues but tickets were secured for the family despite the issues.

It’s never easy with this mob (Ticketek)!


It was a nightmare for Mrs DOF and me.  33,000 ahead of us when we logged in, and when we eventually reached the head of the queue and tried to pay for the tickets, a message came up rejecting our credit card details.  We checked and verified the details and repeated the process three more times, all with the same result.  We were close to giving up in frustration, when an email arrived confirming that we had successfully purchased our tickets.  Presumably some sort of system glitch had given us a false message.
I suppose that all’s well that ends well, but that’s two hours of our lives that we won’t get back!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
