raw10 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 how to get active area: 1. on the event page select the "reserved seating" option 2. it will tell you that demand is too high to pick individual seats 3. on the "find me tickets" page change the top left dropdown from "adult-etc" to "adult active away support area" 4. the corresponding concession/child categories will subsequently change to active 5. now when you click find tickets it will give you row 23/24/25 instead of 10/43/etc thank you so much! On step 3 it wouldn't let me scroll down but it finally worked! And make sure it is "Adult: Melbourne City Active Area - Melbourne City Members" !!

Red or Dead Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I found it really easy to get tickets in the away end. Probably one of the easier things I've done in life. I would have to agree with you. I can't see what all the fuss is about. 1. From the ticketmaster top menu hover over Sports and click on Soccer: 2. Reserved Seating (second option) 3. Enter your barcode as Code and click Submit 4. Select Quantity and in the Presale Ticket Options scroll down to Adult: Melbourne City Active Area - Melbourne City Members. 5. Keep Section as *Best Available and click Find Tickets. 6. Check seats. Doing that now just generated L1, Isle 26, Row E (so there's heaps still available) 7. Click Buy Easy as π.

soxrow Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Early question but what will happen with flags and such, I know in previous derbies at etihad they haven't been allowed.

rass Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Have 8 tickets in Category A (in 3 separate transactions, so not all together). Of course, they're in Section 45, Victory end. Not sure whether Ticketmaster will help me out to refund/reallocate them. So disappointed with the whole process. I was in there 9 flat and had 6 seats chosen via the map option and then as I went to pay for them, they disabled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony999 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Fuck me. Im sitting right next to the Victory active area. Ticketmaster you are useless! What's the point having "MCFC Reserved Seating" if the friggen tickets are in the Victory Area? Now l have to sneak in with my dad in the City area.

hyperfuzz Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) looks like you can now buy five adults per barcode. i had two barcodes and needed six tickets together (five adults and one concession), and managed to get them in the one transaction, thankfully, despite the fact that they now say it's four per transaction/barcode. ticketmaster T&Cs says they might cancel these tickets but i doubt it. ticketek's system is a mile better despite the fact that you can't select individual seats.

loriente Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 You blokes must be illiterate. Had my preferred seats booked by 9:05am, printed 2 minutes later, and received confirmation email at 9:15am.

RFC56 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Took me five minutes to buy City category C tickets. What's wrong with you people! Took me 10 minutes but that was due to their unfriendly system. Kept trying to find active area as was only when I scrolled down and found it that I bought it. Been buying AFL finals and concerts tix online for years, but never had as much trouble as this morning. Ticketmonster kept allocating tix where I didn't want to be, so I understand the frustration of others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
