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

[Gold Member]

Yep, this is absolutely ******. Can’t even get into the site now.

yeah. This.

 

[WWSD]

Finally got tickets after waiting nearly 2 hours in front of a computer like an idiot. I ended getting tickets on M14 Level 1 which isn’t too bad I guess.

 

[blue harvest]

Hawks twitter also says Ticketek are fixing issues and game definitley NOT sold out.

 

[Pessimistic]

Yep the Tigers QF last year, once they fixed the problems it worked like a dream and heaps of good seats available.

One wonders if they could fix it 'permananetly'

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Me every time I get timed out after having got through the 2 online queues, finally selecting tickets only to have the website stall:

 

[Ned Ryerson]

At least the clubs have let supporters know - Ticketek couldn't be ****ed communicating.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

At least the clubs have let supporters know - Ticketek couldn't be ****** communicating.

They just keep saying “there is high demand. Thanks for your patience.”


****ing campaigners

 

[caliente]

This is some demoralizing shEeeet.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

They just keep saying “there is high demand. Thanks for your patience.”


******* campaigners

If I eventually get tickets then I will be asking them for a refund of the processing fee. I am not paying for this batshit system having ****ed me over all morning.

Yep we need to pressure AFL into forcing refund of all fees.
Money is the only thing that talks these days.

Have been on for 2.5 hours. Have 5 memberships. Once I got to enter everything but they then spent 10 minutes timing me out. No tickets. Kids disappointed. Have to give up now and get back to work.

What is the point of buying memberships if I essentially cannot buy finals tickets?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I still can’t access the site.

“We are redirecting you in 5....4....3....”

Lol don't be silly, there's more important things to do like change the goal square.

 

[blue harvest]

Same

 

[Hawker1167]

I am so angry and honestly 12 months to get this right - I got on ordered my tickets and then bang froze up

 

[In2theWild]

Cheers yeah I've just gone and bought Jr's new book instead. There were only 333 of those available and no problems with that. Tecketik gets an epic fail.

#333>90thousand #savedmysanity

 

[Paul Kersey]

Club should look into the Sydney model. Think Sydney looks after tickets for a certain amount of members. The current system is a debacle and a middleman profits from it.

 

[caliente]

this is actually an epic joke. WHY THE **** WOULD YOU RELEASE ALL 4 MATCH TIX AT THE SAME TIME?!?!!?!?!!!!

 

[Jaeger]

I am so angry and honestly 12 months to get this right - I got on ordered my tickets and then bang froze up

It happens every year, although this year is particularly bad.

They don't care. They will still make a fortune.

 

[Lotus]

I already choose any available seat and still got this message .
Any advice?

 

[MightyHawks]

so silly to put 3 games onsale at the same time

Richmond v Hawthorn was always going to crash the site, but no reason to inconvenience supporters of the other 4 clubs this morning

Common sense suggests staggering the onsale time for each match

It's doing this for Geelong vs Melbourne too. There's 0% chance this match sold out either

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Ticketek are now tweeting responses to people saying:

"Today's competing club member on-sale is on hold. More information to come shortly."

It then says thanks for your patience - but that is just taking the piss. I have zero patience for you leach-campaigners - no need to thank me.

 

[Maybloomer]

Once more, the Hawks will feature in the finals campaign, starting off with a qualifying final against the Tigers on 6 September 2018.

As usual, should Hawthorn compete in the grand final, under Victorian legislation, the grand final is a designated event for the anti-scalping legislation. This means that any offers to sell grand final tickets at above face value will be deleted and the poster carded. Cute attempts to get around this (eg., "I'll sell you a can of coke at $300 and I'll give you a grand final ticket for free") will be deleted and the poster will be carded.

Can't see a problem with this, the AFL were doing this to Sydney for years. In their case it was "We'll give you some cola AND guarantee you a finals ticket"

Yeah what can we do, except for keep trying. They will asked for a feedback, I'll definitely put -10 on the easiness of purchasing the ticket. No stress test, no load impact and performance testing hiks so sad.
