The other one is the Giants play their 17th final next Saturday, and it'll be their 4th against Sydney already.It's remarkable when you consider that it took until 2018 for Richmond to play Hawthorn in a final for the first time.
I have no problem with the process, having done it several times over the years. Having said that, I work in IT professionally so very competent with technology. I know my elderly parents would have no chance of securing tickets, and there’s thousands/millions of people who are similarly technically challenged. People can get very confused with so many things going on on the screen, let alone when you’ve got a 5 minute countdown timer applying pressure!The platform is far from user friendly.
After entering barcode(s) , you are left to your own devices to figure out what comes next
I probably sound like an old dinosaur but it took me ages to work out that after you upgrade one ticket , you have to scroll down the page to upgrade the second ticket.
As if you would enter 2 barcodes and decide to upgrade one seat and not the other.
Then there is the mysterious "something went wrong" message which means you have to join the fue again
Very messy

One part that completely riles me is that there is literally no say or option to choose what bay (or even seat) you want to sit in; its just completely random. Same with music concerts too.The platform is far from user friendly.

Please reference your work accordingly sir.I get that there is a lot of optimism in this thread but I need to temper it a bit with the findings of some research and analysis I’ve been doing over the past week.
So in finals it comes down to the best 8 teams playing the best 8 teams. And in elimination finals for teams 5 to 8 there is no tomorrow. These are the big games that we are interested in.
So for the last 10 years there have been 20 elimination finals and from those elimination finals there have been 20 winners and 20 losers. It just shows you how close our competition is in big elimination finals. It’s 50/50.
I’d never seen this before, so went looking and found it. This is 3 years old. It would make my week if there was evidence that he rolls with this every finals series!
Yet the Suns are one year older and still yet to play a final.The other one is the Giants play their 17th final next Saturday, and it'll be their 4th against Sydney already.
Meanwhile there's only ever been one other non-Victorian intrastate final: Adelaide v Port in 2005.
That 2009 EF was an electric atmosphere, in my top 10 live Lions games I have been to.It's uncanny how many times we've played Carlton in finals over the years in the AFL. The Bears' first final was against Carlton in 1995, as was their 3rd, in 1996. Then played in 1999, 2000, 2009 and last year. Next Saturday will be #7, out of a total of 38 finals.
Not yet. One year there were 2 Preliminary Finals in Perth so there really should have been a derby Grand Final. But Hawthorn had something to say about that.Yet the Suns are one year older and still yet to play a final.
I assume you mean in relation to the second line that there's only been one other same state / derby final? Don't know why but I thought there was an Eagles v Dockers final; obviously not.

It's so bad isn't it?One part that completely riles me is that there is literally no say or option to choose what bay (or even seat) you want to sit in; its just completely random. Same with music concerts too.
It's so bad isn't it?
I don't understand with all the money involved how they couldn't sort this.
Have the seat as red if taken, green if available, yellow if someone has selected it already (but not completed the purchase).
There are so many different preferences for where someone wants to sit. 'best available' is completely subjective!
Yere but WHAT IF a drugs scandal hits Carlton on the Monday after they beat us or it was found that they had 19 players on the field during the game or if a goal was overturned on Sunday morning, meaning that the win gets awarded to us, despite losing to them on the scoreboard! You mean there's a chance - 1 in 300 trillion! It's still a chance!I think that if we don't get over the line in this one, it'll be hard to win the premiership.
Lots of guessing for the unfamiliar.That "best available" function was useless for me.
It asked me to tick "filter" boxes but after I did that, it didn't appear to have anywhere to actually "apply" your choices.
I wasted a lot of time with that for no joy
YesIt's so bad isn't it?

Even more uncanny is that Carlton have only played 23 finals (10 finals series) from 1995 onwards. 7 out of 24 against one club is quite bizarre.It's uncanny how many times we've played Carlton in finals over the years in the AFL.

Sydney/GWS gets a walk over.Yere but WHAT IF a drugs scandal hits Carlton on the Monday after they beat us
Don't think anything happens to the game result unless it's noticed during the game (see Swans, Sydney, 2008).or it was found that they had 19 players on the field during the game
AFL goes "our bad, too sad".or if a goal was overturned on Sunday morning
Nah.meaning that the win gets awarded to us, despite losing to them on the scoreboard! You mean there's a chance - 1 in 300 trillion! It's still a chance!
Actually this capability does exist - I bought 2 tickets to a show on Ticketek recently. I wasn’t able to select seats that left a single seat empty. It was annoying, until i figured out what was going on.Yes
However, they will never allow club members to select their own seats.
Reason being they will be left with far too many single seats.

The ticketing companies could certainly improve their process, but there will always be people who can’t manage the technology aspects. These are the people who are being let down by the AFL.
The AFL could address this by setting up a finals ticket booth at the MCG (or Gabba / SCG etc. depending on the teams involved), where people can go and buy tickets from an actual person, with a ticket allocation for walk up sales. It won’t suit everyone, but it is providing an option to give everyone the opportunity to see their team.
Lots of guessing for the unfamiliar.
And seeing it only happens once or a few times a year that leaves it to lasts years memory to kick in.
Not great for a lot of us.
The filter one you mentioned: At top left, it is the left facing arrow to activate.
How hard would it be to have an "apply" icon.
After i got kicked out at the 15-minute mark. The filters did not work, or all top tier priority 1 were sold.
Unlikely i think but all i was offered from that point was lower-level cat 2 seats.
They can handle it (they've been able to do it for well over a decade at this point, it's just very rarely turned on) but I've always assumed the extra load/length of time to do so for the bigger venues and demand just doesn't make it worth their while. They know it's going to sell out anyway, they've got a captive audience.Actually this capability does exist - I bought 2 tickets to a show on Ticketek recently.

I had to help my mate out as it was his first time getting finals tickets.I have no problem with the process, having done it several times over the years.
