What was with the ticketing stuffup for the Bulldogs game?!
When i scanned my membership it read "already scanned" on the machine ans then the guy told me i need to go line up and get a ticket. I showed him my card and pointed out that i had reserved seats and didn't need to get a ticket but he didn't want a bar of it and sent me away. I then noticed the same thing happening in the line next to me to another couple of people. Their was no way i was going to line up to get a ticket that i didn't need so i went into another line and sure enough the same bloody thing happened. This time i had a go at the guy and told him it is a reserved seat membership so he better let me in. He gave it to another guy who scanned it and did something to it and then handed it back to me and said "we will let you in this time but next time don't come in twice". I couldn't even be bothered arguing with him anymore and just went in. Funnily enough i turned back and noticed the same thing happening to another Bombers member. Missed the first 5 minutes of the game as a result of this stuffup! Anyone else having this problem? :thumbsd:

Similar thing happened to my friend @ the G. He bought a ticket then went to scan it and it said already scanned.
The worst thing about the dome is trying to get on the train after the game. Takes about 10 minutes to get from gate 5 to the footbridge.

Whoever designed that hairpin walk bridge needs to have their architect license revoked and take up abstract art as a hobby.
Complete farce, children, elderly getting crushed by 100's of drunken yobs trying to push through a 5 meter area!
For safety's sake they need another bridge/walkway built from the city side wing to the station.
You always see people leave 5 minutes before the final siren, no matter the score and you just know its so they can avoid the crush at the hairpin and on the platforms.

When im catching the train i always walk around to gate 3 from inside the ground then and then cross the bridge from gate 3. It's much quicker and less crowded. :thumbsu:

Never had a problem with ticketing @ telstra dome, IMHO the tickets & entry turnstiles there are a better system than anywhere I've been

I tried to get cash out. All the ATMs on level one were broken, or out of order. Not good enough. There is not enough ATMs in that joint for the amount of people that need them You line up for near half hour to get cash. Next time I will remeber to get cash before I go there.

SirJimi05 if you haven't already you should complain to both Telstra Dome and Essendon. Complaining on BigFooty will (hopefully :p) get if off your chest but won't really do anything to fix the issue.

I get a reserve seat for Ess games. Being an AFL member I swipe card at non Ess games, even then I don't have a problem.
I love the Dome, particularly in June/July. :thumbsu:
i had a problem round one, but thats it. i hate the dome too...

No but I missed the first quarter due to peak hour traffic.:mad:

Try going to the MCC section at the G. As far as I know, there is one single ATM in there.
