Footy fans angry as bought Grand Final seats 'disappear' online

AFL fans are demanding answers after details of their purchased Grand Final tickets disappeared from their online accounts.

Richmond Tigers fans took to social media over the weekend, claiming their allocations are not showing up in their Ticketek order history.

As the payments have already been processed, many are wondering if they will still have seats at Saturday's clash between the Tigers and GWS Giants at the MCG.

The tickets are the member ballot tickets as some supporters are guaranteed a Grand Final ticket as part of their club membership deal if their team make it.

On Saturday, thousands of Richmond fans received confirmation of their seats from Ticketek, but a few hours later the transaction records disappeared from their accounts.

"Is it possible you have stuffed it up again? I had seats now I don’t. You’ve taken my money," one angry fan tweeted.

Another said: "I had tickets allocated yesterday and they are now not in my history anymore if I don’t have the original seats I was allocated I will be filthy angry!"

Ticketek have responded, saying the ballots are still being processed and fans can check if they were successful from 9am on Monday.

"Payment was processed over the weekend but allocation is being released tomorrow, please check back then," Ticketek tweeted in response to a concerned fan.

"The ballot information from your AFL club, credit card charges may appear on the 21st or 22nd of September.

"Members will be able to see if they were successful or unsuccessful on the Ticketek website from Monday 23 September."

No idea.

Just got another text saying the tickets are on sale now even though it's now 15 minutes past noon.

[pmac21]

Tickets are still available, just got 2 more tickets via ticketek for 7,8,9 year members which started at 2pm
Too easy.....

Kinda sucks that Platinum members who got allocated SR in the initial tiger ballot now get trumped by gold members who receive higher category in the resale.

Anyway.

What cat tickets?

Wondering if I should be disappointed my P2 and P3 memberships yielded a Cat 7 + standing room.

Could have put them back in today maybe for something better?

Cat 4's according to pmac.

My feelings exactly.

A lot of people probably would have done better today.

They should have had a larger tiger allocation in the ballot but I guess it would have been hard to predict how many GWS tickets would be snapped up.

[Diocletian]

Relax...my cousin in Mount Druitt and his de facto already snagged both GWS tickets ...
