News Grand Final at the Craypot

[Ambrose Burnside]

So … Did anyone here actually get tickets today?

Work ground to a halt and one person got lucky with a couple of restricted viewing seats. Everyone else missed out.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Sold out in 10 min?
Doubt if that allowed 10,000 seats to be done??

Easily move 10k in 10 mins

 

[Pella]

I got in at 10:08 and there was no tickets left at that time, searched for 20minutes as well.

Joined queue on phone at 9:50.. then when it started I had 52 in front of me. Up in block 524

 

[Chris_6678]

Sigh.

Joined at 9:30 and nothing.

That shows it was not really a queue as there were people joining the queue way earlier and they have 5 digits people in front of them!

Joined on 3 devices at 9am. Got in the cue at 9.30. Best device had 14000 in front of me. Worst had 26000. No tickets available when I got thru about 10.10. Keep searching about 100 times and 2 cat 4 tickets popped up! Sec 511 but better than nothing!

Another failure by the ALP

Not enough seats at the stadium
Not enough hospital beds
Not enough public sector resources

Lord help us if Mao opens up a Fish and Chip shop. 2 dollars of chips likely to be 7 and a half shoestring fries with a quarter pinch of salt. That should be enough

 

[dispute]

I somehow landed at around 900 in the que. Was only able to snag 2 x tickets

How does that work maths wise. Is your computer or connection slower so people got in from 1000 ahead of you?

Girl next to me got her 4. Only just decided to try today

If you just reason it in mps-the computer power, then yes.
However, there are a lot of fingers moving in between then highly questionable.

 

[Jeeves]

My daughter has the Midas touch and managed to snag 4 tickets. Lucky girl.

I am on a fibre connection here

 

[eagleroo]

Not sure why tickets were sold as a free for all rather than a ballot. There are quite a few occupations that can't stop in middle of morning to buy tickets.

How will you cope

 

[Chris_6678]

Bah was only chance of getting to a GF.

Even when WC get in its lottery to even get a ticket let alone the cost to fly over and watch it.

Definitely some merit in that suggestion.

 

[dispute]

How will you cope

Well i'll be fine. More pointing out the fact that the 4 ticket allocation had already been exhausted.

I assume my maths is ok but...
900 in front of you at the 10am start means max 3600 tickets sold before your choice. There should be at least 6400 tickets for you to choose from and 4 tickets should not be a problem. (unless there were less than 10,000 ticket available today?)
Any programmer working for Ticketmaster here in the forum??

What time did you actually manage to secure them?

 

[GIMINO]

Was in the queue, came my turn at 1003 not one single ticket left, sold out within the first minute

Anyone's who's keen there's still packages left here if ur happy to pay

I'm not 100% across how it was working in the background but they could have let another 1000+ in at the same time as me and worked out that is was going to cap out.
