Yep M15 as well. Had great Cat 1 in N8-1 but the *smile* timed out because I hadn't ticked the box for tix insurance.
Usual ticketing fiasco, daughter got on then just constantly refused an allocation of four tickets together category one, supposed to be able to get two tickets per membership, got four memberships but can't get one for each. Were hoping to get in the same area as our usual reserved seats. Fluffed around n tried category two southern stand n same crap can't get four together, then of course timed out n start again.
Finally managed after nearly half an hour to get four tickets in the Ponsford stand, looks like we're going to be somewhere alongside the Norf *smile* cheer squad, similar to what we got for the Port final last year.
At least we're in, if it was me trying to get tix I'd still be trying to find the site n log in ;D.
Bloody Tigers better not feed me a dose of last years finals again this time, old coot might get fairly agitated n grumpy.

Cat 7 pricing ... they had 1 bay (M3) on Lv1 in this price range for some reason and the rest of this price range was the VERY back rows of the top deck of the Southern.
I learnt from previous years you need to be logged in to your account around 8:45 before the rush (and to avoid being put in the queue) and then as soon as 9am ticks over click the search tickets. Also have your barcodes in a word document typed out so you can just cut and paste them in to speed up the process.

I got tix in level 4 from the guy on the phone who told me the 1 and 2 were gone. Got row A, so not tooo bad. Still, the walk up that ramp... I think I need some exercise anyway.
Geez what a huge difference for most Tiger supporters travelling to the G this season when compared to that Kokoda trail to Adelaide last season. ;D
Happy to get seats 3 rows back of our usual reserved seats however what I found dodgy was that I tried to buy a family pass and got a message saying that system was unable to allocate seats in a block for the category I wanted. So I went back and changed it to 2 adult tickets and 2 kid tickets (which is obviously more $$) and bingo bango it could now find tickets in the category I wanted. Oh well.
Agree, it should bring up a seating map and you choose which seats you want.mld said:
I think ticketmaster does that at Etihad
For future reference on getting your preferred tickets without exhausting the time limit:
- Sign in at 8.45am
- Copy and Paste all barcodes in advance to save time
- If you're not confident about the website layout, in the days before, pretend you're buying a ticket to another sporting event just so you're familiar with the process. Bail when you get to payment, or let the clock tick over. This way you can take your time and read everything.
For those who'd like a dummies guide to copy and pasting your barcodes:
Open word or notepad. Type in your barcode, press enter, type in the next barcode, press enter, etc.
Press Command + A (mac) or Control + A (windows) to highlight all the text.
Press Command + C (mac) or Control + C (windows) to "copy".
Now you just have to click on the space where you want to paste the barcodes and press Command + V or Control + V. It will appear all at once in a second, instead of taking a minute or two to type them out and get stressed about the ticking clock.
I know it can be stressful buying tickets and you'll probably experience this a LOT over the coming years ;D So it might be helpful to try these tips so you'll feel calmer knowing what to expect. As many have found out this morning, that ticking clock can be stressful.
