LA Galaxy Ticket Update

Sounds like Tony P needs to give Ticketeks butt another good kicking.Might also be time to buy next years season pass as given their record its not going to get any easier.

when i bought my season ticket i got told it was HALF WAY up and sheltered for row E but i was mis-informed, wat can i do?

im just outlining wat ticketek are like!

Row E IS covered, but they forget to mention that it rains sideways in wellington ;)

lol. very good!!

I got rained on in row Q! But for the Phoenix, I could get saturated and I wouldn't leave. 

yes mate, i agree, no what it is, i didnt go yesterday coz im up in auckland and moving down this week to wellington but i gave my season ticket to my dad and he said he got drowned in row E. But in all fairness last season i was a season ticket holder at ibrox and i sat and got soaked many games but was worth it to see glasgow rangers!! and i suppose the weather is getting better, in terms of its nearly summer, so its not that bad. i just moved over here in June this year so as soon as i heard about the phoenix i was right into them, watched all the games so far on TV etc but I get job relocated down there so looking forward to the next home game, I will be there, come rain or shine!!!

Maybe a little bit lower than halfway, but right in the middle of the FZ.

The uncovered rows are labeled with double letters - AA, AB, AC etc and then the covered start at A, B, C etc.

thanks for that info peter, im glad to here its right in the middle of the FZ, really looking forward to that!!! im in aisle 22, row E. weather doesnt bother me mate, i just wanted to know if it was a covered section or not and im glad that its covered.

thanks vickmeist, I am really looking forward to watching the remainder of the season at westpac!!

Very annoyed at Ticketek, they seemed to have already sold our season tickets! Odd that, BUT we have got other tickets and we are closer to the Fever, looking forward to that.

kaori what do you mean mate?>

We rang expecting to get our normal (season ticket) seats for the Beckham show - Only to be advised they had already been sold - so we ended up getting other seats - same row, but closer to the Fever zone

thats mental mate!! not fair at all!!

Tony made it clear that would happen and that Season ticket seats were not locked in.  Your season pass guarantees you a seat and first refusal on up to eight tickets, but it was first in first serve as to what seat.

If it turns out ticketek have sold our seats for Friday night, then there will be ructions.

yea hard news, i was lucky to get my seat this morning for the beckham game but if they sell our seats for the Friday game then you are correct there will be ructions.

i think its strange how everyone is getting different info from ticketek, its as if nobody has briefed them before the tix go on sale as to prices etc.

We all knew our season ticket seats were not necessarily the same seats we'd get for the Galaxy match. If season ticket holders are allowed to buy 8 tickets each, it's obvious it's going to be the case - especially in the Fever Zone.

Got my 8 tickets today, aisle 24! CTang2007-10-01 20:59:54

I got my 8 tickets - same row in aisle 21 as my season ticket but about 10 seats along.......woop woop!!

Got my tickets, up in row G or Aisle 21

Apparently the only tickets they can allocate for the Adelaide game are round in aisle 30!! Bit of a pain for the extras that I picked up but we'll just have to see how that pans out on the Friday night.

i saw that over 2000 tickets were snapped up by season ticket holders alone in 1 day!!

Why I hate Ticketek today:

4.30pm: Rang Ticketek on 384 3840.  On hold for 10 minutes.

4:40pm: Spoke to operator, who asked for my Phoenix membership number, which I don't have, because I have yet to receive my season ticket.  She struggled to grasp this.

4:45pm: Understanding dawns and operator says: "sorry, without that number you can't make a booking, but you can ring the Phoenix and get it from them, their number is 384 2457, and they will be able to sell you the tickets."

4:50pm: Rang Phoenix.  They said: "Sure, we can look up your number, but we can't sell you tickets."

4:51pm: "But Ticketek were certain that you could?"

4:51pm: "Well, we can't, you'll have to ring them back" she said in a very 'this is the three hundredth time today I've had to say this' tone of voice.  Let's be fair love, it's not my fault they're useless, so don't give me sh*t!

4.52pm: Ring Ticketek back.  On hold.

4.57pm: Call dropped.

4.59pm: Ring back again.  On hold.

5:04pm: Still on hold.

FFS is it THAT hard!!!!!!

hang in there smithy lol great commentary

5.15pm: Tix booked.

Can you imagine the type of sh*t we are going to have to put up with next season when we try and get the same seats as we have this year.Sure hope Tony P has kicked their butts and hammered into their collective thick skulls to get what is basically a simple job done properly.Yet another example of a company with a captive market treating their customers like sh*t.

Surely Tony P will drop them like a hot potato?

Or are they locked in because it's the Ring of Fire?

Can we find a Mayoral candidate prepared to build a proper-shaped football ground in the Capital?

Whats this Caketin you mention.
Its the Ring Of Fire isnt it,and yes i think they may be locked in because of that.

Quite right.  Corrected! 

Wellington rugby both use Ticketmaster. Ticketek might handle the Hurricanes as well, but both sites link to Ticketmaster. Hopefully next year they can add the Phoenix to that list.

as season ticket holders are we going to get first refusal to renew our seats before they go on public sale for next season and beyond?

I would imagine so. I want to change my season ticket seats next season and get a different row. I bought on the first day they were available and had no idea what rows were what.

With regard to Galaxy tickets, Ticketek can't be blamed if anyone's normal seat is already sold. With members allowed to buy 8 seats each, that was always going to happen. If that is what is upsetting some people, they need to blame the Nix for giving us the benefit of buying extra tickets. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal.

Can anyone tell me what the ticketek number would be if I was calling from Australia??Don't think I can use the 0800 number while I am over there??

The St James Theatre Ticketek office is (04) 384 3840, you could call them internationally if Ticketek Australia can't help you. As for their number, it'll probably be listed.

Ticketek can be reached on the following numbers:

• Whangarei Tel: +64 9 430 4244
• Auckland Tel: +64 9 307 5000
• Tauranga Tel: +64 7 577 0049
• Rotorua Tel: +64 7 350 2244
• Taupo Tel: +64 7 3771207
• New Plymouth Tel: +64 6 759 0021
• Hawkes Bay Tel: +64 6 876 3173
• Napier Tel: +64 6 835 1059
• Palmerston North Te: +64 6 358 1189
• Wellington Tel: +64 4 384 3840
• Nelson Tel: +64 3 548 7333
• Christchurch Tel: +64 3 377 8899
• Dunedin Tel: +64 3 477 8597

So that makes the St James number that Rob posted the one to go with.
