    Re: How to beat the Hawks. - Finals edition

    Got in on the computer and secured my ticket M34. Had issues at the start with my barcode on both the computer and phone saying it was invalid.

    For woofers that haven't got in yet keep trying.

    Same old Ticketek.

      I am mercifully, finally, going to this game. It’s admittedly been like 8 years since I’ve had to do this but I don’t remember it being that painful.

        I had to get 3 seats together so I'm up in the nosebleeds.

        Oh well, another final at the G! Let's ****ing go!

          I tried on my Android phone and tablet but several times it froze when I selected Public Reserve and the site would not let me enter my barcode.

          After a copious amount of the vilest language ever known to man, I was able to use my partner's IPAD and after waiting in the queue there was no issue and I obtained a Level 1 seat close to where I sat in the 2016 semi final. Let's hope it's the same result.

            Level 4 row F. Pretty livid.

            The fact some 3-game members or $1 members will have better seats than a 33+ year member is ridiculous.

              I’m an AFL member so tix go on sale in 10 mins. Likely have same issues as suspect a lot of Hawks fans are also AFL members as an overhang from when they played at VFL Park. Here goes….

                A complete nightmare. That is the last time I volunteer to get tickets for our whole clan (8 people). I kept getting offered the other side of the ground to WB end, and didn't want that, then that got exhausted, time ran out, back in queue, rinse and repeat. Had to drop down to 4 people to get M36 (snagged that), then same again with 2 people but few rows back. The other 2 unfortunately could only get L4 Q30. If I hadn't wasted so much time trying to do 8, I could have done better, but oh well. My head hurts.

                  After further research and experiment, I have deduced that the issue was probably being caused by using the Ticketek app.

                  Useless *****s. They never improve.

                    I actually enjoy sitting a little higher up to watch the game unfold so lvl 4 doesn't bother me.

                    The process though is a nightmare.

                      I never use apps for anything unless I absolutely have to. They are riddled with bugs, they track your phone usage, want to send notifications and drain the battery. I always opt for Web where possible.

                        I got mine lvl 1 olympic m55

                        It wasn't easy to get what I wanted, and ended up missing out on lvl 2 because i was trying to get better seats than what they gave me.

                        Now I recall how shit getting finals tickets is.
                        Yeah I am sure we used to be able to select the bay maybe? I kept getting given M6 (Level 1 goals) when I wanted something around the other side - our end

                          I got M6 as well at first and then got to the Ponsford End M34 which is where I am.

                            I'm still yet to even be offered tickets so all those complaining about refusing tickets because they didn't meet their needs can politely get bent.

                            Have had to re-join the queue so now in with 12000+ AFL members... FMD!

                            And boarding a flight in 10min so hopefully the queue moves quickly, or I'll have to try my luck with the public seats after 3pm

                              In my haste I accidentally purchased 1 ticket more than I needed. Thatll teach me for trying to do 2 things at once.

                              If anyone needs a ticket let me know. It is lvl 4.
