Jaded No More

Spelling should be a joy to experience. Well done Gawny. No doubt the best RUCKMAN in the competition. For pure ruck work there is nobody better. Not even close.

Because most people are absolute nuffies.

Well he is not in the midfield. Maybe will get on the bench. Absolute [censored] joke. But then look at the selectors.

Disgusting team full of arrogant self loving knobs. Please for the love of god smash them!

I understand that Melbourne supporters are disorientated by finals, but guys, we are actually playing finals. Can we stop talking about hypothetical and frankly idiotic trades, and actually enjoy FINALS?! You have plenty of time to talk trades after finals. FINALS!!!!!

They forgot to mention "give Jaded a birthday present".... Jokes, I'm away.

Apparently we got ours too. My god that was a bloody nightmare.

Anyone know how the Richmond vs. Hawks ticket sales are going? Never mind, I realise it's not until 11am... losing my mind

Tough to split Nev and Oliver.

Seriously the anxiety I am feeling waiting for 1pm is a joke. 12 bloody years waiting to see us play finals, and then this debacle. We fork out so much money for these memberships, I'll be really annoyed if we end up with crappy seating in a game that is only meant to reach 80,000 attendance.

I’m sure they do. They can’t keep anyone who isn’t local at their club.

Awesome. Back up plan sorted. If I hear there are any issues with the Richmond hawthorn sales earlier in the day, I’m deploying my dad to go to an outlet and get them in person... like it’s 1998.

Did you need your physical membership card to make the purchase or were they happy to take down the barcodes?

You wouldn’t be eligible to get priority access with those 3 game memberships I don’t think. Even normal memberships are not included I think you have to have a certain level of membership to be eligible. I think this is why we need to put the barcodes in, so the system can tell if you have an eligible membership for pre sale ticket allocation. Perhaps someone on here with a 3 game or interstate membership can confirm? I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a high tiered level of membership so can’t be 100% sure, but I know that’s how it works with other clubs.

So do I. And you’re right not every level of membership gets you guaranteed final ticket access.

It’s to do with the number of tickets each club gets allocated. We have less members and less members with guaranteed finals ticket access. Therefore we get 2 per membership. Tigers would get 1. Even tho they have 100,000 and we have 45,000, the allocation of member priority access seating numbers is the same. I think it’s around 16,000 or so. That’s why the cost of these premium memberships go up the more likely a club is to make finals, as numbers and seat allocations are capped.

Mitch McGovern officially requested a trade.

Thanks I also only could get thru on the phone and not on the PC

I think its 16,000 per club, but don't quote me on that.

I know it won't help you much if you're after an extra MCC ticket, but I'll probably have spare barcodes if you'd like to use them to get your dad a ticket.

I guess they've done it by order of when the games are on, which makes sense. It should have always been staggered. Rich vs Hawks should have been today- members, then MCC, then AFL, then general release, followed by Melb vs Geelong tomorrow and so on. It's really not rocket science is it? I feel like if a 5 year old was in charge of the ticketing system, I would have gotten my tickets and a lollipop by now.

Yep. I'm gonna have to stay back to actually get some work done now.

I swear to god if I try at 1pm tomorrow and the whole thing is a bust again, I will lose my sh*t. Nobody has this much time to waste on a busted up old website. Lets hope the big traffic from the Hawks v Tigers game dies down significantly by 1pm.

A waste of time. I rescheduled my entire day to be available at 9am to buy tickets. It's now 4pm. I have done a total of 0 things today. What a disgrace.

No you have to pay a processing fee when you buy anything on Ticketek, even if you choose to print the ticket at home yourself. From memory it's $6.99. Spoke to a good friend who is a Sydney supporter. She is in the same boat. Last month she also ended up buying 5 extra tickets to a play because the website told her the order didn't go through, so she tried again and ended up with two transactions being processed. I've tried before to buy concert tickets etc from them, and they are always crashing. You'd think they would figure it out by now!
