Has anyone had any luck getting through to Ticketmaster by either the phone or web?

Ticketmaster

Is a @@@@@ing joke. System is down, waited in line for 2 hours.

[Egan]

Across the whole country it is down...

No doubt ticketmaster is the worst ticketing agency in the country...

Only Crows and Dockers supporters have been able to buy tickets today...

I'm pretty sure you are not actually competing against weagles members at this time - a quantity of tickets will have been set aside for Swans members. The AFL controls the ticket distribution for finals.

Just before the system went down, the girl serving me said that no particular Swans area had been set aside for the $61.15 seats...and that all of the seats were available to both supporters.

I can't see this being the case - anyone any idea where we are likely to be in the ground?

The $61.15 seats are premium seats. The girl at one Ticketmaster place suggested the premiums might be I think from memory block 237 which is in the second tier city end roughly forward pocket. Standard seats are $53.00.

I am here right now in Sydney (came over for the Carlton game) trying to organise tickets. Apparently I need membership numbers (I have got two -one for me and one for my missus) but I want to get 8 tickets. Anyone willing to let me use their numbers please send a private post.

Correct. It looks to me that Saints and Magpies supporters have generated so much traffic on the web site that it couldn't cope any longer hence the delay. This must have pissed off Weagles fans.

Your not wrong...its like the world has ended because they couldn't get tickets immediately... I am a non passionate Eagles/Dockers supporter...

8 mins to they go on sale...

I wonder how the ticket sales went for the other game.

[punter257]

my money is on the system crashing again in 10 minutes - there will be so many people trying to get on

[punter257]

surprise surprise

2:20 WST now

[Egan]

I never trust the internet ticketmaster...after the Ashes debacle.

Always 100% line up at ticket outlets...although its wierd for it to crash...

I wonder if the GP will still be able to get tickets on the Wednesday?

[Captain]

Still no luck.

Anyone else get through??

[punter257]

nope not yet

phone and net

i'm getting RSI from the redial process and i'm scared that if i finally get through i'll hang up

[boroboy]

On the phone as I type - a nightmare - they have no idea where anyone is supposed to be sitting - and when they do find somewhere they then can't book it.

No system for knowing where the Swans supporters are going....
