Remind me how many professional competitions "we" have won as a coach again?

Will call is the American term for venue pick up. But my confirmation emails says this anyway "Your full seating details will be appear on the ticket that will be emailed to you within the next 48 hours."

But the other option says "Venue Pick-up" which is charged at $3 more, meaning it makes no sense at all..

So it is Ticketek being Muppets...Will Call is supposed to be ezyticket

From the Age

"Victory, Sydney FC and Adelaide are the only teams with a genuine shot. Make that three-and-a-half if you think Wellington Phoenix are going to provide the mother-of-all form reversals. To be honest, that's hard to see given the displays they've been producing ever since they hit the top of the table over a month ago. Getting beaten at home by Sydney FC for the second time in five games shows there's a genuine gap between themselves and the competition's best."

Fair comment. Even this Sundays game, I think we will struggle to win

Stick this up in the changing room. If that doesn't fire them up, nothing will.

But what if Boyd doesn't take one and Krishna does? Surely we're doomed then.

Sorry to say it but Krishna has been our best player from the spot all season.

12 hours until tickets go on sale to members. I'm predicting an explosion of  Ticketek angst in 12 hours and 3 minutes time.

I'm already having a fit over them changing the system from using your membership number to order things...this password idea means I have to get another set of numbers off people I get tickets for :P

Having to input  16 x 4 sets of digits manually (looking at my phone email and typing into computer for ticketek.. a bit nervous but got it done OK.

Then had to log into ticketek account (not Nix membership account) caused a bit of angst.

Finally made it out to the other side, seeminlgy OK with a confirmation email as per 2B (email out and same seats although only GA is stated).

Needed an extra ticket in addition to season ticket entitlement.

Wanted all tickets seated together so rang Nix ticketing hotline.

As I've always experienced when calling the hotline - great service and all sorted.

Didn't he miss his pen and get the rebound?

Still, better than Roly and Burns I suppose.

Depressing to think we've missed 5 pens and had 2 go in off rebounds.

because of his vendetta against Krishna. He's also looked over the fact that Krishna missed a penalty too.

those 2 rebounds are part of the 5 missed penalties, not in addition to. Only 3 missed penalties actually cost us a goal, and only two of those affected the result.

It is confusing. I tried to log in into ticketek, but the it only worked when I clicked on the link in the "Important Final ..." email at the end saying CLICK HERE FOR FULL DETAIL, then you type or copy you really long number from your season pass, what they call password in you mail, into the box that opens and choose the ticket you want. that part is kind of straight forward.

I think the real ticket arrives per mail on thursday. I wonder who sets that stuff up, the wording is very strange, hope you understood me ;-)

Yes. Follow one if the links in the email depending if you want same seat. Enter password from that email and select your tickets. You will then be asked to log into your ticketek account to make payment.

You get an email back saying seat info will be correct on ticket when it is sent in 48hours

Burns stuck two in the top corner to get his hattrick. Best penalties we've seen all season.

I'm aware that he's missed one but at least he hit it hard and on target not down the middle.

Well you'd think the A League goalkeepers would know to dive to the side!

They all affected the result of the game,  do you think if we had scored from the spot last week that Sydney would have still scored 2 and we equalised.  I think the way the game was panning out, if we had scored then we would have gone on to win comfortably,  the same with the missed penalty against Melb City

Worried I'm jinxing us... mainly when I'm in the zone...

Since I moved north:

Hutt Rec vs City 0-0 - Zone

Hutt Rec vs Jets 2-2 (Zone first half before reluctantly changing ends because mate had no ticker - Two 2nd half goals)

Hutt Rec vs Adelaide 2-0 (Exact same as previous)

RoF vs Sydney 0-3 - Zone

RoF vs Sydney 1-2 - Zone (Finally I see a goal from the zone...)

The Zone v Win Ratio for me could do with improving...

I will persevere, as I would rather not sit at an empty end of the stadium... Although tbh this probably just says more about our second half dominance and the lack of feverness in my friend. As you were.

If Thunderstix or someone else from the club spots this, please pass thanks on to the "Phoenix Hotline" team.

Patiently worked through a slightly awkward/frustrating situation with added and unnecessary stoopid.

Keep up the great work, it's appreciated!

Note that I said that only two of them affected the result, and you've picked out those exact two penalties to "refute" my point. We won all the other games we missed a penalty in - so you can't tell me that the missed penalty cost us points.
