Anyone here had issues with getting tickets?

Noticed a few people were ringing up the radio this morning complaining.

Shambles as always with ticketek  :banghead

as a Club XI member we had a priority hold (guaranteed tickets) in a 30 minute window from 9.00am to 9.30am. It got extended by 20 minutes to 9.50am as so many people couldn't get through

We got through but the whole fiasco took close to 25+ minutes.

Two weeks ago for the Gabba via ticketmaster it took the grand sum of 5 minutes. No waiting for a spot to become available, just straight through

In 2019 that is how should be. Every year Ticktek says it will be better than previous years, it never is.

I got on at 9:05 and got 5 category 1 tickets no issue. Preparation is the key with ticketek. 

Cannot agree, you can be as prepared as you like but if the website cannot handle the amount of traffic then it's going to be a farce

We were prepared

As always we had 2 of us ready, logged into our accounts with barcodes ready to go. For one of us it to 8 minutes to get a spot, for me it took over 10 minutes.

Then after 8 minutes it took another 10+ minutes for the transaction to go through - sorry that's not good enough in this day and age

I held my spot until I got a confirmation text at 9.26am from my mate to say they had a our tickets....

I’m in Most Na Soci, Slovenia with a pre paid sim and two bars of mobile reception.
I woke at 2.55am and had my tickets by 3.04am.
I 100% agree that preparation is the key :thumbsup

Agree with WP,

I was prepared as I always am.

Two different browsers open, barcodes ready to copy and paste and it took me until 9.20 to get in.

Tried on my phone and ipad while waiting with no luck also.

In saying that I did get good seats so am happy  :gotigers

It is frustrating though.
