Rd 5 Ticketing v Aints

[22nd Man]

Going with a clan of saints members ... Could be fun if in their members area but sounds like seat allocation is pretty random. By the way AFL needs to end this farce, crowds have not exactly been flocking back despite missing a whole season. I am the antithesis of reserved seat fan, I just want to turn up with who I want to go with on the day. Use whatever membership card I need at the gate.

Is your 3121 membership home and away? If it is away too then you can use it>> https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/richmond-tickets/artist/845830
If it's only for HOME then you cant and you need to simply buy a ticket on the above link (no barcode needed).

Yes it's home and away, costs me over $1200.

I had no problems getting tickets to the Hawthorn game, but still can't access tickets to this game.

I hear ya It's an absolute farce as well as Ticketmaster allowing the general public to choose whatever seats they want (like I just did below as a test) but we are just get given the best available which always isn't best available!

Yeah I definitely couldn't access that yesterday arvo.

Correct with your barcode you won't see maps of seats to pick but for GA you can, go figure!

On this link as soon as you open it you will see prices and seating areas on the right and map on the left, as soon as you click on any blue rectangle it opens up into choosing your own seat. https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/st-kilda-v-richmond-docklands-15-04-2021/event/25005A88A6BD3F8E

Not using my barcode though.

Still, Row B will be fun, that's where you really hear how hard the game is as the players bang into each other.

the ticket situation is a real turn off,despite the reasons it is implemented for.

As far as the ticketing companies are concerned, people applying for GA seats are not yet customers until they buy the ticket. The ticketing companies want to see these people have a pleasant experience in controlling their ticket allocation.

Reserved seat customers have already paid their money and they can just get the tickets that the ticketing companies see as giving the most benefit to the ticketing companies.

That's the benefit they have for being given a multi-year monopoly agreement by the stadiums.

I was listening to SEN last night. think its Sam Hargreaves that does the post 6pm show nowadays? There was a debate about ticketing and people calling in to complain. Yes, the ticketing isn't perfect… But gee whiz, you know you’ve got it good when our biggest issue is the ticketing system, when literally the whole planet wishes they were in our position.

Anyone else getting a "we can't load your tickets right now" message when trying to view their tickets?

Wouldn't want this message when trying to get in.

That can be a problem, even more so if you have trouble getting a signal when you go to enter the ground.

First thing to do is, once you can load the tickets (it should turn up, mine took a few minutes yesterday) take a screen shot and you can use the screen shot to enter the ground.

The second thing I do is to copy the screen shot off the phone and into a word file and I print it. A printed ticket just works better when entering the ground and it also means I can just give these out to the people I am going with when we meet at the ground. Print is compelling technology!
