I kept rejecting really good seating on level one in hope that I would get level 2 wing seating. I finally got offered P12 row B but the ticketek page had timed out. When I tried again the best I could get was Q2 row A.

Ahh well
Gee, wish you were getting my ticket , you did alright even at Q2 Row A ,,

wanna swap for Q35 Row R ???

Was there a benifit being SC 2nd time around ?? seemed way harder to get tickets this time


What will be next from this club ?

Q54-S


I thought they'd send me a printable ticket, though.

Is it different for Grand Finals? Do you have to pick them up?

Has anyone going for the 1pm allocation rejected their initial offer and gotten through for a better offer? We took the first ones we were offered, but wondered if we could have done better than level 4, for Prime.

Yep, otherwise you can print off as many as you want and launch some serious pass-out scams.

Pick-up took 30 seconds last week.

Had the same my wife and I both online, I got q36 ponsford cc she got q57 hh and unfortunately she not knowing the system accepted, it is a flawed system this ticketek online, would rather have lined up at an agency and been able to pick some tickets rather than be in the laps of the gods

Acquired M35 through social club earlier and just got Q33 for other saints members.

Loved it in the Olympic Stand last week but was too scared of missing out not to take the first tickets offered!!

Glad to see both are Saints bays at the moment! GO SAINTS!

Sounds like maybe business as usual, offering the worst seats first! Did it take long to get through for the next offer?

I waited till my first offer was timed out though.. wasn't sure if i could go for more tickets if there was still time left to claim my first offer.

If they allowed printable Tickets the Scalpers would be selling thousands of fake tickets. Would be a nightmare.

They have to be printed by Ticktek..so you have to pick up.

For those others that are wondering as well, you can. There's something you click on (forget what it says) on that page, and it takes you back to the previous page and you start again.

I don't think i'll be swapping cause the more I think about it row A is pretty damn good.

The only benefit about being SC 2nd time round is that you had a bit of choice in where your seat is. You could choose which stand to sit in and reject any offer you didn't like. Last time you had no say what ticket you got.
