Hyundai A-League 2010 Finals questions

I went to buy my seats and found out they'd been upgraded to GOLD zone so would be $50 each. So bought tickets on the other side of the aisle for $35.

He probably used Joachim's number.

Foolishly looking ahead. If the phoneix win this week and GCU loose. Then the week after there will be nz vs Aussie 20 20 on Friday, hurricanes vs lions on Saturday, and thus th only day left phonix vs Newcastle on Sunday. just thought it was interesting

Hi, heading down from rotorua for the game, so amped!! Does anyone have a family pass that has ticket purchasing ability remaining? (I think they can buy 16 if i read correctly). Me and 8 or so mates are keen to get good seats, would be very much appreciated if someone could let us use thier membership number :D

Scoop - There are no fixtures on the weekend of 28 Feb. The Quarter Final (let's call it what it is) between the winners of 3/6 and 4/5 is taking place on Sunday 7 March.

Managed to get our normal seats in Aisle 25 by turning up at 9.05 at the Ticketek agency in Porirua this morning, along with 10 more next to us, for people who have seldom/ever been to a game before - this is a good sign of potential final numbers being well up there I hope!   Now just got to get them all to join in with making a noise!

It would appear that unlike the website, the ticketek system was not prompting for account numbers at ticketet outlets, the girl in the Phoenix shop was therefore, writing down the account number of everyone that was buying tickets.
My only ticketing angst was that she did not believe my account number, as it's only in the low 3 digits (from buying as season ticket in S1 the week they went on sale), said it should be 4 numbers. I didn't think I would actually need my physical season pass just to present a easily remembered 3 digit number - anyway, got my ticket in the end!
So I wouldn't be too surpised if there are people, up and down the country who are not season pass holders buying tickets, as the system is not prompting for them, and probably only the Phoenix shop has staff that know that todays sales are supposed to be for season ticket holders only.

Ah right my bad. Even better then. Let us hope it is another home final

Someone I know, who shall remain nameless, was sold six tickets (not four!) with a made up season ticket number at the WPX store at about 1pm today.  

Yeah there was pretty  much no verification process on the ticketek website either, I simply typed in my season Acc no. from the card. I was thinking, aren't they just to keep track how many have been sold, I could potentially have used any number from 1 through to mine (around 7000), and how would they have known?

Bit of a shambles, but at any rate 3100 tickets sold if you believe the PAXs so no worries?

Phoenix + ticketek = ticket problems and confusion? Who'd have thought it!

So it's a free for all?

Well, the website seems to be doing it's bit (apart from the fact there is no mention of the game even on the Sports page of Ticketek), I just tried a couple of random 4 digit numbers and it didn't let me through.

Keep trying numbers, I know others that have got through fine with made-up numbers.

I have a ticket already, so don't want to screw up someone else's number by getting it right!

Despite the fact the validation system is flawed, is it not a good sign that people are willing to use faux numbers to try and get early tickets? Certainly means there's a ton of interest.

I doubt their systems are that advanced!

I wish just for once someone was in control of Fever Zone tickets. I've had the same seat for 3 seasons, and luckily I got my same seat again today but only by ringing Ticketek. That's fine, at least I had to verify with my membership number.

Just rang up to book my ticket for the game and was a bit annoyed to find out that the FFA have decided that although my normal seat is a silver ticket for the finals it has been re assigned as a gold ticket hence a cost of $50, anyone else had this problem?

I've got my tickets.  PAX # 4993-4996!!!  

hmm. Spent $300 on flights already to get up to Welly and really don't want to miss out on zone tickets. As I live in chch this will only be my 3rd game of the season so don't have a season ticket. Was typing random membership codes into ticketek then got lucky. But now I don't want to screw up someone elses access to tickets. Really the ticketek system is in the wrong. Ticketek should force members to have passwords with there ID. As this system is easily broken............... Haven't used it yet but very tempted Drewy2010-02-15 15:25:44

yeah i thought of that flaw too. the membership number is way too short. good on you for not exploiting it :). 5k tickets already?! awesome!!Tegal2010-02-15 15:28:01

Brought at 9am got pax 275-277.so if that is how it works then 5thousand already would be choice

Went into Ticketek in Welly at lunch and got 12 tickets, with 2 mates who have season tickets. We are in the row behind our season tickets which is great, Aisle 21, however I am a bit worried that you'll have average punters sitting around us, there is no way that we will be sitting down or keeping quiet. How Ticketek manages to continue to make themselves look this bad is amazing

My new theory for this seat nonsense, is that everyone from the forums should all take over one area, thus making banter-central and giving us security in numbers if some random is like, hey thats my seat, i demand you move!

Got mine at lunch and they are around PAX 2738-48, this looks huge!

It's not really Ticketek at fault here.  It's the ridiculous way the FFA run the finals.

Other clubs have had the same angst in the last 4 years, just we're knew to it.

i booked a couple hours ago and got aisle 20...is that really the feverzone..? can see i may be standing amongst others who are sitting etc.

Possible that the PAX numbers are not linear across all branches.

20-R in the Feverzone edge.  20-L probably isn't.

I really feel for all you long-term supporters being treated so poorly ahead of the biggest game in the club's short history.  For the football family presale tomorrow we all got emailed a code, surely this could have happened with the member pre-sale. Hopefully it all works out on the day, and we get the win we all want.

yeah not happy. might snap up any spares people have in the feverzone (the actual one,not what ticketek considers) and flog off the ones i have onto mates

What exactly are Ticketek selling as the "Feverzone"?

Like I said with my earlier post, having non YF people in the Fever Zone really effs me off, so I empathise with regulars who cannot get into it......... and to anyone bucking the system and getting in to the zone............ you'd better behave !
