Mod. Notice 2018 finals ticketing - update (10/9): semi-final member tix on sale now (AFL members tomorrow)

[Dixie Flatline]

Was I the only one who got their tickets within 2 minutes of it opening at 9? Despite me freaking out about the 500 tickboxes I didn’t tick each time I hit ‘submit’!
Hopefully all those affected can get some tickets in the end. Good luck, guys.

Yeah, I struck the jackpot and got my seats this morning at 9.02am. But I'm gutted for those that haven't got their tickets, including a work colleague of my wife who is a Richmond tragic and was looking forward to going to the game.

you really dont have to be Einstein to work out this was going to happen.

Why wouldn't they have had a look at the clubs involved and all have extremely high memberships and staggered it out over 4 days - 1 day for each game and then next Monday anything that was left is open slather - i don't does that make to much sense???????????

what has pissed me off was i actually had the tickets on my screen when the system crashed ans i couldn't continue with the transaction

Had seats. Crashed on payment. Can’t get back in

Same here. Crashed a couple of times for me - luckily when I was able to get back in, my seats were still there - AND HAD BEEN PAID FOR!
Thanks for the stress, Ticketek - NOT!

Booked flights from Perth last night then messed around by Ticketek - explored other options and scored two prime tickets for free. Cheers Ticketek!

[Dixie Flatline]

Melbourne FC members have been advised their opportunity to buy tickets opens 1pm tomorrow. Nothing from Hawthorn yet.

Edit - the club hasn't confirmed, but the AFL says the time to purchase is 11am tomorrow.

"the AFL is extremely disappointed"

......so much the AFL tolerates this every year.

 

[Hawthorn23]

The transaction admin fee should be wiped after today’s debacle. Will never happen though

I see they haven't learned when looking at the AFL members ticket scheduling for the Thursday
Sure, they lose two teams in Sydney and GWS, but those four Vic teams might have a few people trying to log in one would assume...

 

[Big Hotdog]

Today was surely a ****ing shit fight. But don't give up. I want to see as many of us at the game as possible.
Best of luck to everyone and see you at the G.

 

[Pessimistic]

Im guessing they had to re check which seats have actually been sold.

Im going to be there in good time in case they double sell my seat

I see that only applies to tickets purchased tomorrow, as opposed to the ones somehow purchased today after multiple hours of screwing around. Seems like another half-arsed effort honestly.

I was able to download the tickets, so thankfully I have them. M14.

They are going to wipe it for "future purchases".

Should be for EVERYONE, with those who were successful today getting a refund.

Better something than nothing . I think it might be hard to refund now, probably after the sales completed (hopefully).

 

[Pessimistic]

Wouldn’t be surprised if you could dip again with the same barcodes

Its a disgrace first of all putting a game in victoria on a thursday night 90% of the attendance has work the following day. The grand final played on saturday have a match in the same time slot saturday afternoon . It's All about tv rights next the grand final will be moved to a thursday night.

2nd the whole ticket fiasco i have been buying finals tickets and grandfinals since 2008 never have i had this issue, what brain surgeon came up with the idea of 3 games at the same time.
Another waste of a work day and more stress if it possible to sit with family or friends.
