Preview 2024 Second Elimination Final: Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn, 6 September 2024, 7.40pm @ MCG

[Phil McCreviss]

Haven't lived in Aus for 10 years. Over where I live we have Stubhub, Seatgeek etc which is where I get my NBA and NHL tickets. They are solid during playoffs as well. Is there not an equivalent in Aus or is it all monopolized through Ticketek?

 

[_Mike_]

The cluster**** that is the ticketek website at this time of year...

Oh how I've missed you!

Ticketek once again cant manage high demand during peak periods. Members barcodes not recognised, rejected, payment crashing, people getting booted off while payment processing to return to find no tickets were purchased

ticketek a big FU to you

 

[burger09]

Racking fracken felt like Robert the Bruce. Got my tickets after waiting in the queue 3 times. First time it just crashed. Second time i fumbled about trying to get the tickets and didn't end up doing it in time. Geezus thank **** i have tickets now see you HOKS at the game

Can't say I didn't expect it but what a clusterf@$ck ticketek still is.

1.5 hrs from 10.00am. A absolute rollercoaster of failed attempts until in the end, like a beggar on my knees, I take whatever was left.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Can we get a separate ticket venting thread going? Haha.

I just want to talk about the game!

 

[Bulldog1954]

Were there barcode issues for Hawks fan trying to get tickets too? Dogs fans with silver memberships like myself had our barcodes wrongly show as invalid for ages.

 

[Billyc]

I got two MCC visitors passes with no difficulty at all. Very smooth service.
$97 a ticket, good value.

MCC visitor tickets now sold out. Going to be a bumper crowd - only game in Melbourne and the box office entertaining hawks playing some other mob.

 

[Sturty]

AFL Members tickets also now sold out
The G is going to be PUMPING

Ah, thanks for reminding me. I need to call the guys in IT and tell them to remove that code now.

I just wanted to rant at the audacity of The Weeknd for charging those prices.

I've heard The Weekday is cheaper. Sorry in advance.

The latter, yes. They control the resale market too. Loved using Stubhub when I would visit the US.

 

[PLATTS44]

Feels like it'll be 70k hawk fans. The joint will erupt if we start slamming them on again.

Its definately got that feeling about it.
8 seats in m31.
go hawks

 

[unitedhawk]

As a Sydneysider who's going to watch it on TV, could someone please direct me to the match preview thread?

 

[Mrzohs]

Tickets all sorted, family and friends!

So excited to be in the September action!

Some dramas with one of our barcodes.
On the plus side last time I was in level 4 for finals, was the 2014 GF & 2013 Prelim.

Let's go Boys!

 

[INeenyI]

If anyone missed out I have a single ticket available (sitting next to me) in M2 Row N

Bloody cant even get tickets that I would have to wait in the queue. Then when it's reached it says unavailable due to the network. The two hottest teams have broken ticketek

I hope we go the whole way from where we started 0-5. If our club is determined and how we switched up our season we can do this. UP HAWKS!

90k+ crowd incoming

[A Diakos]

90k+ crowd incoming

U sure

How many membership tickets are allocated to each club ?

How many afl and mcc tickets ?

We know the latter to sold out but the first 2 are they sold out ?

AFL Reserves is a sell out, both Hawks and Dogs member sales would be close to capacity. I think around a 90K crowd would be reasonable

The Doggie CEO was on some radio program and I heard him say 90k+ are expected.

What’s the biggest crowd the Bulldogs have ever played in front of, outside of Grand Finals?

 

[matey]

Doesn’t help that it’s the only Melbourne game on during week 1! Already know a few non-Hawk/Doggies that are going …… understandable to see what this Hollywood Hawks stuff is all about

94,104 v Collingwood, 1956 PF (MCG)

mind you,

1. 107,935 Footscray/Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn, 1961 GF (MCG)

PLENTY of neutral AFL members would go - as you say, only Melb game

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Anyone know how much general public tix will be? It's so hard to find simple information on that site/app...
