How on earth is level 1 in the Ponsford "sold out"?

Makes no sense.

Seems ticketek have mucked up the allocation.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Think I had N2, 8, 11 and 14 populate before I got N57 and N32 at the same time on different devices. Hopefully it's not a situation where the Ponsford is full of blue.

I suspect it won't be and Pies fans who try later will get a seat I was trying to get.

Will be interesting what seats it offers me with my mum's barcode at 3

No wonder crowds are down.

Why does it say I'm "junior" now? WTF is going on?

Seems similar to the away game when general admin members weren't being charged an upgrade fee, but those with higher memberships where. If you can get something suitable grab it and worry about junior etc later. I got refunded the last time this was mucked up.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I don't know what to do.

Should I redeem the "Junior" ticket or wait a bit longer to see if things change?

I'm not handing over another cent to these Ticketek idiots.

EDIT: Finally secured a ticket. Only took an hour

 

[Jen2310]

I had the same issues.

geez, what drama.

Tell me about it.

I wish we could just sit in our regular reserved seats again.

Got Seats on Level 1 at 3pm

Same, but in the 1pm allocation they weren’t initially available because of Ticketek’s bungle.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Anyone else having trouble? Put in the barcodes, it should be free but it wants $50.

Anyone know what to do? Or just wait? Sounds like others might be having this problem.

My birthday plans for Sunday are locked and loaded for Collingwood's game at the MCG! I did however experience a twist with Ticketek where I was given N1: Row E in the Great Southern Stand for my member ticket, before selecting an Adult ticket in the Ponsford Stand on Level 2, where I will use N35: Row J against Carlton. Ticketek did not have highlighted seating bays available for me to choose where I wanted to sit. Level 1 Goal was exhausted when I got on, so I went and chose Level 2 Goal and ended up with a seat in the Southern Stand, which I did not want, before finding a seat that I wanted in the Ponsford Stand moments later. I was shocked to learn that I had two tickets in my e-mail confirmation and order history, after wrongly presuming that I had removed the Southern Stand seat from my ticket order and paying a price for a seat in the Ponsford Stand that I thought was going to be my free member ticket. A return to my reserved seats can't come quickly enough, I'm afraid. I've been given the raw end of the deal over the last two Collingwood allocations with Ticketek, and I've been absolutely livid with their unfair offers and service over the past two weeks, including this week.

I think I read somewhere that Tigers has 28% (something like that) of their supporter base signed up where Pies have around 8% - one of the lowest of all teams. Need to really ramp up our Marketing & the commercial team need to pull their heads in!

collingwood should be at a minimum 100,000. According to all supporter base matrix Collingwood is the most popular club in the afl. Collingwood is first in social media. The biggest social media platform Facebook the pies have 350,000 followers. Essendon is second with 337,000 followers.According to Roy Morgan research poll Collingwood is the biggest Victorian club with 726,000 followers. 2nd is Essendon with 573,000 and Richmond 3rd with 514,000!.

so Collingwood is converting around 11% of its supporter base, Essendon 14% and Richmond 20%.

the smaller clubs are doing far Much better and converting their supporters into members such and north Melbourne at 23% and Melbourne at 21%

After the kerfuffle with tickets will we be permitted to go? Ticket sales to this weekend's Melbourne netball matches have been paused, but maybe the government just introduces different rules for indoor venues?

 

[Mkcaptain]

Its getting to the point where I'm thinking about accepting a partial refund on my membership if offered. I paid in full last year but the missed games this season is starting to add up. I also didn't go to Saints and Tigers which I know I could have got tickets for if I'd been online at the right times, but they were sold out and under normal circumstances I would have had a reserved seat automatically.

But no doubt if they play the loyalty card and talk about how desperately the club needs the money, they could talk me into rejecting any partial refund offers!

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Doubt it but I hope that for away games, if there is still tickets left after the home members, then away members without access to away games, would still get in for free seeing as we've missed a few home games. We should still get priority over the public.

for next year? to support the club? Who knows. Not all memberships are attendance based. Some might be interstate or country. Plenty different options.
