    I don't quite understand the subterfuge HP. I know how to use a phone, just wondered if there was a booking fee involved.

    It looks like I will just go to Marconi ticketek tonight or in the morning and get them.

      I got mine by lining up at Theatre Royal then dialing - ending up getting through when I was still 20 odd people from the front of the queue. I didn't really pay attention to the fee.
      In Aisle 131 Row 6 so pretty happy with those.
      I prefer the eastern side but most of the premium in the lower section had gone and I didn't want to head up the back.

        I logged straight onto the website and completed my transaction in about 5 minutes (at around 12.20pm). Sure beats the hours of queuing I've done in previous years.

          same here. Did it at 12pm on the dot. Took me little to no time.

          Did you go the ezyticket option? I hope like hell the damn paper ticket scans through ok.

            You'll have no problem. I bought 8 tickets for the Geelong game and 6 for the West Coast game this year for friends. Printed them out and they scanned fine.

            Mind you, I used the works Laser printer so the barcodes were nice and crisp, but any reasonable printer should do the same job.

            I need 6 tickets so the internet is not an option unfortunately. I'll get mine in the morning before they go on sale to the plebs.

                It dawned on me today that we missed out on 4th place and the double chance by one point (behind). If we had kicked just one more point against when we played them earlier this year we'd have won that game, collected 4 points instead of 2 and finished the year in 4th place.

                I hate North Melbourne and I hope we humiliate them with a thrashing this weekend.

                    I tried the net. I wanted 8 tickets and it made me enter each membership once so wasn't going to allocate the seats together. In the end I walked down to Ticketek and ended up phoning from the queue.

                      With that sort of football analysis, you're not from Woy Woy are you?

                      Losing the last 5 or 6 games of the season might have had more to do with it.

                        The whole Ticketek system is BS.

                        Yesterday, premium elevated seats at opening it was Section 403 in a pocket, last night and this morning it is Section 412, down the other end in the other pocket.

                        Why do members not get the chance to get the good seats on the wing 405 thru 409 ????

                        I just got back from Marconi ticketek and they were completely unhelpful in getting 6 tickets together, even though I've got enough membership numbers to sink a battleship (family).

                        As it stands, I'm just going to wait until 12:30 and keep refreshing until some decent seats go online, completely going against what I said to the industrious one yesterday that it is better to get your tix early with members and avoid the drunk theatregoers.

                        It's not a huge stress as it will be far from a sellout, but I just think a members pre-sale should have access to premium tix.

                            It's because they don't differentiate within a category. They'll open up section by section until it gets sold out.

                            Or maybe those good seats have been allocated to sponsors etc.?

                              Hehehehe....in my defence, I didn't say you were necessarily wrong to wait, just pointing out you will be sitting with the plebs who if you're unlucky, may be more interested in pushing past you to get beer 3 times a quarter then watching the game.

                              I'm hoping I'm lucky.

                              PS, Sorry for calling you the uninformed one, I changed it now, got my uninformeds and industrials mixed up. Should have just called you MMG and be done with it.

                              Now that pre-sale has closed, don't even mention that possibility.

                                Like I said in the other thread, the state sports centre at Homebush Bay was empty yesterday.

                                The two girls at the counter helped with two bookings together and everything went easy peasy.

                                We got Aisle 129 (usual bank of seats), but we're 5 rows from the front (on our interchange bench). I don't need to strain my voice as much for Roosey to hear me!!
                                Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
