Prelim Finals ticketing - Sold out

[Jimmybob]

If you click on "Tweets & Replies" you can see they're telling people 1-on-1 that the sale is on hold, but their last public status is still "on sale now, thousands are currently buying!"

More classic Ticketek thinking... I'm sure it won't take them long to update everyone on Twitter one person at a time.

Must be some smart cookies down at Ticketek head office in charge of social media!

As an IT consultant this post makes me cry.

Imagine a world where this country had proper internet

didn't we even invent it?

Any AFL members been trying for club member tickets today? Not sure if tomorrow is gonna be worse or not...

Time to dump five trucks of chicken poo at afl house.

Can we also dump the complete melbourne sewerage system on ticketek hq. Football fans deserve the right to share the c*** around for all the companies to blame.
Every year its the same problems and nothing is done to compensate the fans.

Try this. https://afltravel-holidays.virginaustraliaholidays.com/UI_NET/Services/Hotel/Hotel.aspx#/HotelQuery

You will need to match the hotel "guests" with the number of tickets you want. Sort by price and choose the cheapest option. After selecting the hotel it then asked me what games I wanted tickets to.

Makes you think why fork out the extra dollars being member which "guarantees of a finals tickets" when you can get the bssic membership and go down this path come finals time.

they need to upgrade the memory on the amiga 500 to 9mb to deal with the site traffic

 

[Ned_Flanders]

stuff you

******* do gooding Flanders

Flanders gets tickets ,that’d be right.

Yous will be the only 3 people at the game

Clearly he gave someone the diddly

He owns ticketek

I'd tell you all to get ****ed, but I'm too busy printing my tickets

Jokes aside, what a cluster *. Took me 1:45, logged out five times, and deadset lucky to get them before the hammer came down

Fwiw I didn't even look at the seats when I paid, was just releaved to get anything.

Lucked out though. M4 GG

Make sure your tickets are for the correct game, AFL was advertising tigers vs shemons

 

[Martin#4]

Ticketek now just tweeted that club member pre-sale is CLOSED.

Closed because its sold out? Closed because of technical issues? Wasn't member sale meant to run to 1pm?

No further detail provided - just spreading more confusion on social media. Absolute joke.

 

[King Jedd]

Ok, it just logged me on, and it says I have a ticket from my earlier attempt.
Is there any way I can confirm?

Tweet ticketek with your account number and they will confirm

 

[Ned_Flanders]

With mass demand from fans this morning, Ticketek has temporarily suspended online sales while it tries to figure out technical glitches with its system.

The AFL confirmed, saying in a statement: “Ticketek has advised the AFL that the club member ticket on sale has been put on hold until the issue with the Ticketek system is rectified.

What's the glitch? They couldn't handle the volume, hitting pause won't change s**t

 

[Tiges4Life]

Surely not

I’m nervous...

Me thinks they are still using floppy disks or maybe even punch cards.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Fool proof way.

blaming the internet for ticketek shithouse systems smh

 

[M0557]

Got 2 in M57 before it shut down.

Waited 1 hour 45 min but got there in the end. Fk'n arseholes.

You best give me a wave in M55 Row F......

 

[Pies_10]

What a disaster, having to suspend the sale.
Supposedly even it comes back the games will be staggered which is what should have happened in the first place.
Good luck all, imagine if the scenario of all four games being at the G had occurred.

 

[This Is Anfield]

From SEN a moment ago:

- Sales suspended until new club member time is confirmed
- Tickets already purchased are valid (thank f**k for that)
- Club member tickets not allocated will not be sold to gen admin until the new club member priority period is over

They’re wa*kers but that’s helpful info.

Cheers but I ****ing hope so! Payment taken but timed out before confirmed!!
Did see the allocation though.
