You were at Manly v Dogs and think the ticketing was a disaster? :/

Yeh I was trying to get 6 reserved tickets together for a mates birthday since Friday night but couldn't, when I rang up and spoke to a lady from Ticketek asking why the CAT 2 bays in the upper East Stand hadn't been open yet she was just as amused as me. After trying for nearly 24 hours we just gave up and ended up watching it at the Casino.

You don't think that's a disaster or are you just incapable of criticising the NRL?

Bay 109.

I reckon they've likely split the stadium down the middle depending on which club you are a member of, because you can still get tickets in bay 109 when using my members code right now.

Souths fans obviously snapping up tickets at a faster rate than roosters, as is to be expected.

Yeah even tho it's a Souths home game they've split it up the middle by the sounds of it. You guys are off to the left and we to the right. 109 is pretty good. Well done.

Holy craps...You can still get 109 using your code??? I'm taken straight up to level 4 East now on the side so not even in the middle.

I reckon because neither ticketek or the NRL have made the stadium split known, roosters fans are for the most part buying out the chookpen seats first to guarantee being around friendly support.

With that sold out I'd expect the other seats to go afterwards.

Having said that, we also have quite a bit less ticketed members than the you guys (I'd estimate half as many at best) so there is only so many tickets we'd even be capable of buying prior to tickets going on general sale tomorrow.

Yeah good point. Your ticket sales should pick up a bit more when they sell to non ticketed members and general public. At least you guys seem to be buying out a lot more then manly did last year. You could still get 109 last year when we played Manly when they went for sale to the general public.

Is anybody else trying to buy a family ticket and it's only coming up with 1 seat?


Happened to me.... I contacted Ticketek and they had to do a refund and re-purchase... I couldn't buy into chookpen so I had to settle for Cat 2 tickets. Not happy.

Pax was 10,000 at 11am.

I will be filthy if I don't get the bay I originally paid for.

Still haven't heard anything back from Ticketek.

I will be absolutely blowing up if that happens to me.

Just keep ringing them and don't hang up until they assure you they've fixed the problem

Apparently people who bought the 35 buck family tickets have also been dudded.

There is a massive back log of people their help desk need to ring back. He said a lot of the seats have been frozen now so they have seats to offer disgruntled customers.

What a balls up.

Same is happening for people who purchased tickets for the Bulldogs V Penrith game also. PAX number is around the 8000 mark as of 11.15am for that game!

I bought 3 family tickets to the Bulldogs game but as others have said, I only received 3 seats but got charged the full amount. Had to call them and they had to give a refund and I had to purchase new tickets.
