Up the Coasters 2020 Elimination Final @ Optus - Tickets Discussion

[W.C. Fry]

Is a bit different this year.
Logged onto site and there is already a queue you can join, not sure when it started. I joined queue at about 8:34.

I understand that as finals are AFL games you won’t be able to use your membership credits.

I’d be surprised if otherwise - but it has been a strange year.

Strange, but not that strange.
The AFL scoring a heap of cash out of this game is literally the only reason we're getting it at Optus.
No staggered buying periods this time for Eagles membership pledgers or any of that.
Everyone just send the league your money in 20 minutes.

Best of luck to everyone here in securing themselves a seat

 

[Dark Sharks]

Yeah i'm in the que and i've got zero faith it's the right option.


Can't wait for it to crash or bug out like usual and i have to close everything down and reopen the site again like normal.

 

[MerryHell]

Meanwhile I'll be raging while you all post how you got your tickets and I'm still in the queue

 

[Dark Sharks]

The que idea is s**t.


Should be it opens at 9am, and it's a free for all like normal. I actually don't mind the usual process.

 

[Luuuc]

The usual process encourages thousands of people to hammer the server by refreshing their pages constantly and slowing it down for everyone, so I'm good with this if it works properly

 

[Dark Sharks]

Get ****ed


If i knew they were going to do it like this i would've jumped in the que ages ago.

 

[SloppyJoe]

I joined the queue late - apparently 3300 ppl in front of me

EDIT - dropped to 2500 after 1 minute and 1500 a minute later. Weird.

 

[MerryHell]

it tells you how many people in front of you.... 1400 ... and 7000 on my other screen !

I like the queue but it shouldn't open until 9am. Otherwise I would have joined at 7am to get in early

It's moving pretty quickly, had about 8000 something ahead of me 5 minutes ago, now down to 3206

Section 143, sweet! Good luck fellas.

 

[oak79]

I joined queue at 8:59. I now have my tickets, was actually pretty painless

 

[Luuuc]

I don't know how the queue system works but I was trying on 2 different PCs using 2 different browsers. I logged on basically at the same time on both, but the queue placings were thousands apart, so I wonder if it just put everyone waiting in the queue into a lottery once it hit 9am

Anyway I got tickets to the game so

 

[Ochre]

Ticketmaster have actually been good this year?

2020 is weird.

 

[modul8]

I was in the que from about 8.30 and got through within a minute or so. 2 tickets in the premiership terace woohoo!
Last time i went to a final I got premiership terrace and it was the 2018 against Melb. Hoping for a similar result!

 

[Seadog]

The queue system actually worked, got on about 12 mins before starters , 1500 in front of me. 5 mins to get on, had three goes before I got something I liked, happy camper.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Picked up 4 tickets block 309, let's go boys

 

[Jupes]

getting 'Something went wrong...' over and over

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I got on at 8:15 AM in 7 different browsers sessions and ended up getting in at 9:05 AM. Got pretty crappy seats too

* my luck

 

[Spange]

And now it’s sold out I’m pretty sure. Had 4 tickets ready to go and then needed to login. Didn’t give me a chance to reset password. Lost em

 

[Dark Sharks]

Gave back about 4 sets of tickets in a row because they were s**t (behind the goals )


Eventually just conceded and took a couple in section 110.

Didn't wanna risk it. Missus would've killed me if i kept giving seats back and we missed out. Wins a win boiz

 

[W.C. Fry]

145, row 21. Almost dead centre about 4 rows from the back, so elevated and undercover. Probably the best seats i've ever got

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Logged on at 9am thinking it would be a free for all. Over 8500 in front of me on queue. * me. But it moved pretty quickly and I got a couple of tickets in the nosebleeds. Didn't actually check to see where they are on the ground, I was too amped clicking accept.

PUMPED!!!
