    Useless *****s. They never improve.
    Yep, the barcodes not working was universal but the app had a whole range of it's own issues like not even being able to enter the barcode.

      I forgot about the stress of buying finals tickets.

      A blessing and a curse.
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          I had a problem with that as well.

          I found there were two different links inside the email from the club - one took me to the right spot (the link at the TOP of the email which said second elimination final), the other to a more 'generic' spot which wasn't really designed for me to enter a code (this link to rub salt in the wound said 'get your tickets').

          I logged in early and played around a bit...was all good by the time the queue went live and no harm, no foul. I guess if we get past this I will know what I'm looking for and will be saved a bit of stress.
          What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

            I always have a notepad window open on PC with all the barcodes and just copy paste. I didn't use any link in the email but I think heaps of people had issues and maybe they used the links.

            But yeah, doing 8 at once was a nightmare, 1 needed to be guest pass, was taking me forever to select all the right options before even being able to look for tickets.

              My nightmare experience continues!

              By the time I got to the point of selecting seats my allocated time had expired. Flight is now about to take off so I?ll try again when I reach my destination.

              It shouldn?t be this hard.

                You'll probably end up with better seats that way anyway! Ticketek always gouges the early ticket buyers and gives them the shittiest seats possible because they know they'll just hoover them up regardless.

                  Correct - i got Level 1 but NN in the seat rows. Wasn't even going to attempt to reject and get back in the mix again.

                    It took our group 3 hours to get tickets! Good to hear it wasn’t just us.

                      I would love to know what split of tickets each team got. I am sure that the Carlton or Geelong fans don?t get 50% of the stadium in the first instance and I would argue as the ?Away? team the Hawks shouldn?t either.

                      Our members should be given 70-80% and then, in the event they are not snapped up, Hawks members should be given the chance to buy the leftover allocation before they go public.

                      This way there would be some kind of home team advantage there for us. It?s clear plenty of our members have missed out/ will be interesting to see what split of the Non-MCC/Afl members is dogs.

                        It's an awful process!

                        Trying again now and just over 13k in the queue. I might be sitting on the roof.

                        edit. finally made it to the front of the queue and I can't even buy 1 ticket... what a mess!

                            As per thread on the AFL page ( best seat in the house) I?ve purchased series tickets through North Melbourne FC.

                            So I?ll be there.

                                I have ended up with two tickets on level 4 through members tickets.

                                I tried to also get AFL members tickets and some how have bought two standing room tickets. I am not sure if they can be used by another person? Can I sell them
