Prelim Finals ticketing - Sold out

[Deanos]

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.

TICKETS for week one finals at the MCG and SCG are set to go back on sale for members of competing clubs at staggered times beginning Tuesday afternoon.

I dialed up the switchboard operator at the Ticket selling offices in town. She said she’s absolutely ran off her feet! Anyway I was after a printed receipt and she was in a real flurry there but found it under her ashtray.
The lovely lady then said she was just beginning to type a letter of apology and the receipt would be stapled to it and should arrive in the mail by Friday.
What a swell day!
Actually that’s not even funny when I think about because they probably would have made it all run smoothly in the day.

Holy s**t... the MCC site just crashed hahaha...

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

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.

Would have been a laugh a minute if that happened.

[Tiger Toffee]

Got two mates having issues, one has cracked it and i don't think realises ticketek are having problems, sent him messages and i need him to look at his phone while the other is in the loop and is parked in front of his PC.

What a mess, there is a week off this week so surely it wouldn't take a rhode scholar to suggest that rich/haw sell on tuesday/wednesday and then have demons/cats on thursday/friday.

The internet will explode if Richmond play Collingwood in a final.

Come for beers before the game. Don't bitch out like you did for the podcast.

 

[TigerImposter]

Anyone got a TV left so the IMPOSTER family can come over and watch the final as I've just kicked the s**t out of mine?

 

[Final Siren]

Jesus Christ, these guys could not be worse. Say it's DELAYED, you idiots!! People are going to freak out thinking it's over.

Now Ticketek have deleted that tweet.

But they're still tweeting individually to people that the Competing Clubs sale has closed.

And because they deleted their previous tweet, their current public status has reverted to "site is up and running, thousands of fans are buying now."

What an absolute shambles.

 

[HawkMongrel]

didn't we even invent it?

No, but we do have a huge claim to WiFi courtesy of the CSIRO.

Handed ticket purchasing duties to the wife (actually she volunteered because last year I lost my s**t about 6 times during the process and she didn't like the baby hearing so many loud, bad words at once). By 9:03 she had forwarded me my ticket. Legend.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Don't stress. Worst that will happen is you'll have to bring your memberships and scan your barcodes to get in.

 

[Power Play]

Looks like I'll be watching the game at the Royal.

 

[joelsyt]

Holy s**t... the MCC site just crashed hahaha...

Of course.

Though now AFL will have the problem of having Ski Resorts suing them for lack of sales now.

 

[parmy2balmey]

i had two tix at 9:15 but it bumped me out while i was trying to get past the screen where they try and offload you tickets to the sports museum
