EAD Ticketek. The app first kicks me back 11,000 and then pauses at 6000 only to update and say the AFL reserve is sold out. I load up another screen it goes through immediately. I cop Q23 AA then start over and get M26. It’s been a rollercoaster, but I’ll be there.
 
I don’t think it actually opens till about 12.05, I was 197 in the queue and didn’t get in until then…
It was almost exactly 12.04pm today. I was no.358 in the queue when it froze, then when it opened got in within 30 seconds.

Excellent. Will be opposite to that, one level up. No chance of having to deal with you.
You should take binoculars with you and peer across to the opposite side of the ground and look for the happiest looking person in the crowd.

That will be me, because you're so far away.

ohh yeah perhaps that is the case.

I still haven't quite pegged when the best time to get into the queue is. I think about 20min early is a risk, can go on too early, get in before it is on sale, and then you start over.
15 min is ok but can be too late - sweet spot is somewhere between 15-20 min before they are on sale I think.

Kicking you back in the queue is weird and it shouldn't happen. You didn't refresh or anything like that?
 
what happened?! You weren't far off!

At 12:30 the app updated to say AFL reserve was sold out. Cousin of Daicos I got through after getting this message. As long as you aren’t getting too many tickets hang in there!
 
It's so dumb that they don't just apply the same rules as the Grand Final for the Prelim

Competing club AFL members first.
fully agree on that - also Gold only for prelims, then open it up to silver. When I was restricted membership in the 90s, I could only do first two weeks of finals. Not prelims.

Totally think the same should apply for prelims as the GF

Why should AFL Members go before Club Members?
He's talking about AFL members with competing club support should be ahead of AFL members with non-competing club support.

See what happens now - an Essendon member for example, buys a ticket and sells it to his Collingwood mate, who isn't even a member. And genuine members who support Collingwood miss out.

I like how the MCC has photo ID on the member card, and even when you upgrade your membership to a reserve seat, you still use your actual membership to get entry. Makes it a bit harder to sell to your mates.

It's a big positive about the MCC.

The downside is them allowing visitors to get tickets the same time as full members. I know full members who couldn't get a ticket. I wish they would allow priority access to members who have a club affiliate though money prevails.

glad you got one but seriously, what was that experience you just had!
 
I'm not Brennan or Dale. I'm Derek!

You’re more Derek than Derek.

I don’t mean that in a nice way but you won’t care.

Yeah I went 11:39 and was scared as I was in a work training session so couldn’t keep track of it. Opened up at 11:55 and was relieved to find my queue number, but it was still going down when I had to go back to training at 11:42, so not sure what time it stopped, but was dropped 700-800 each update before that!
 
Q26 Row G. I was conscious of the forecast for showers Saturday evening. Will be undercover. I'll bring my water-proof puffy jacket for you, Kirby.

I got m27 for that reason, went for undercover due to the forecast, I’m right up the back but at least I’ll stay dry!
