News 2025 Finals Tickets Thread

[LRobbo]

Any better this morning?
Yesterday was a dogs breakfast, went from bottom level front row, when it then crashed at payment to getting 2 nose bleed seats.

Not sure how this happens yearly but here we are

Q49, crashed twice with a gateway timeout but got there

looks like a bit of a mixed bag. I had no issues getting a seat on level 2, but others are reporting crashing out.

A lot has to do with your internet speed and location. At work you are fighting against your companies security etc which can time you out.

Got Tickets went from about 9k down to my go really quickly

 

[abakus]

Mine crashed on payment for ground level row L but the site allowed me to go straight back in and offered me ground level row F

 

[abakus]

the app was useless for me, twice it randomly kicked me out of the queue

 

[magpielicious]

Sounds like chook lotto!

This was maybe my most pain free experience yet buying finals tickets, but really annoying that not everyone has been so lucky. How does the website not improve year on year.

It seems there will be plenty of public seats left at 3pm? They might have been a bit risk averse with 1 ticket per barcode, but still great that every member who wants a ticket seems able to grab one no dramas.

Logged on two devices at 9.15 in waiting room - both those devices started at 27000. Logged on another device at 10 - that was 1800. Randomness is ridiculous.

Anyway M30 and its prelim time.

I would have thought that Collingwood members would have had access to only the city end, but it seems its for both ends.

I'm so nervous! Clock watching!
How long did you all go on before the sale time?

About 15-20 mins before the sale. It's completely randomised though.

I don't think it matters tbh. It's a lucky dip.

Man that was nerve wreaking, i got on went through the purchase process, purchase successful, but it didn't go through, my cousin jumped on, got to the payment process, ERROR!!!

But got some tickets though.

 

[BillyElliott]

I got C9 and that was best available bloody 40 minutes ago. Seriously

C9??

AFL members puts you in a queue with a number. The later you go in the higher you place in the queue

I always test with another devise or browser.

When I book MCC it’s more random though.

 

[blackspider]

Has the queue frozen for anyone? I seem to be stuck in the same position for the last 5 minutes or so.

 

[Kes1984]

4405 in queue

You probably answered your own question then

Does that before the sale time
No one is moving until sale time starts now.

Initially some dropped off who went on too early.

Yeah I thought MCC was the weird one. Seems AFL members does it right.

 

[Kes1984]

Anyone else need to pee 5 times before booking finals tickets??

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Sitting in the queue for AFL Members now

12K in front of me

Not too bad

 

[Vicky Park]

Re Grand Final tickets, any other MCC members successful in the ballot? Results out now and I have a seat! Top level, undercover, and no queuing up from 5am on GF morning.

Yes I know we’re not in it yet, and may not be, but that’s the timing of the members ballot. You have to take a chance on your team making it. If not you can go anyway and support the least loathsome team in it. Or you can return your ticket.

Now I just need the Pies to deliver.
