Has anyone actually got tickets yet?!?!

[Hoggy31]

Well...

 

[pasag]

Yep. For the whole Boxing Day test.

 

[archie mac]

A joke!

I gave up on the web site.

Two hours on the phone, by the time I spoke to someone they only had tickets for day four left (SCG) as they started to book me in I was cut off

So then I tried for the MCG two more hours on the phone.

Finally managed to purchase tickets for the 4 days of the Boxing day Test

They should have staggered the release of the tickets, so not every Test Match went on sale at once. That way, there would have been far fewer folks on the site each time.

That would make too much sense

 

[pasag]

The real thing that astounds me is the fact that they pretty much knew exactley how many people would log on and call, hell they were going on about it for weeks. Its one thing if there was an unexcpected surge, but they were aware of exactley how many people would log on and they still did nothing much about it.

 

[Hoggy31]

Murphy on the brink of insanity.

I was able to get a 5 day pass for the Gabba test. It took me 4 hours. The seats are not great but at least I'll be there.

 

[Cloete]

Yep

Day 2.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah well **** this. All four days are sold out for the SCG for those so called "family" seats

 

[Hoggy31]

Finally got tickets! The 5 day pass thing wouldn't work so I've ended just getting Day 2 and 3, still pretty happy with that.

 

[GotSpin]

lucky for you...Where @?

And that way some people would've got tickets for all games rather than be limited on their first call up...

So what exactly could they do then?

 

[GotSpin]

So what exactly could they do then?

Umm employ more telephone people/more lines

Let the web hosting company that owns the server know about it.

Still really really annoyed

 

[marc71178]

Is it really that viable or even sensible to switch servers for one event then switch back?

 

[GotSpin]

Didnt mean switch servers. But by contacting the company who owns the server they could have been more prepared, such as more techs on and stuff
