I'm so hungover I have the shakes and I haven't slept a wink. Perfect time to deal with Ticketek and their shenanigans.
Not hungover but could not get to sleep last night had three hours at the most, paying for it now, and the kids are taking advantage! Cagey little buggers!

Has Anyone else had their payment come out yet? I'm getting very nervous but if people start saying they have theirs and mine hasn't then I'll be very concerned!

Not hungover either, finally got to sleep at some ungodly hour.

I still sound like Patty and Selma from The Simpson though :eek:

I haven’t been charged either. I just want to know I have a seat. I’m going to be so disappointed if I get restricted view or standing room. I don’t care if I have to pay $410 cat 1.

Do they sell them in order of category? Meaning does it sell from cat 1 first, then 2, then standing? Or is it all random?

It's supposed to be best available so you would think it's cat 1 then down as they get allocated!

I just want to see the ticketek charge on my card..

I have 3k in that account for two seats, so I'm safe.

But I do wonder. Say you're a group of 4. Priority 1. But have $1000 in the account
When it fails for cat 1 (needs 1640) would they try cat 2 then 3 and so on until it works, or are you straight out and miss out completely.

I reckon another issue is how many tickets you want - like if you have 8 then you get allocated first. If only one like me, I fill in the gaps so they come later. Just a thought and seems logical.

They state to ensure you have enough money to cover the most expensive tickets, so I read that to mean that you would miss out.

For those that haven't made transport plans yet.

Bus: The CSG have booked 15 buses for the exodus. Some will leave 10:00pm Thursday night, some Friday night from Titantium Security Arena (that's the Powerhouse for those still stuck in 97/98 :D). The Friday buses will have a breakfast in Ballarat Saturday morning. All buses will return 10:00pm Saturday night and back Sunday morning (in time for the celebrations at Adelaide Oval Sunday should we be the Premiers). Cost is $150 return for CSG members and $165 return for non-CSG members. More info on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/crowssupportersgroup/.

Firefly also have extra buses on. $115 each way - Depart around 8:15pm each way. Firefly have two stops - one at the United Roadhouse at Tintinara and another at the big Caltex just outside Ararat (but is really in the middle of nowhere) https://www.fireflyexpress.com.au/FFNew/Index.asp

So this year it looks like the CSG is the cheaper option for those travelling by bus.

Train: GSR in their efforts to cater to the tourist markets for The Ghan and Indian Pacific have all but neglected the Overland service between Adelaide and Melbourne (it pretty much runs on government subsidies, particularly from the Vics to have train services past Ararat). Still, there is a service that heads off Friday morning from Adelaide for $150. The return train, however, isn't until Tuesday, and it's $100.

Flights: You better be sitting down. Here's what you're looking at:
Qantas: Friday ranges from $419-$774. Sunday starts at $765, with non-direct flights into 4 digits
Virgin: Friday ranges from $454-$708. Sunday ranges from $448-$702
Jetstar: Friday is $468. Sunday ranges from $368-$468
Tiger: Friday is $439. Sunday ranges from $359-$439

Car: Fuel is about $1.35/litre at the moment. If anyone needs a ride along the Dukes/Western highway I'm sure that can be arranged.
