I picked a spot as soon as it went live, but within seconds it automatically gave me a different one so I guessed they were selling fast so just grabbed what ever they were offering.
I feel for those wanting more than one spot |

Just like Trevor I was fighting the online system. 1 blue box available and its a small site. While trying to find what "small site" meant I was booted off ticketek twice for wasting their 3 minutes. At one point I was in a loop, being asked to log-in while my screen already showed me as being logged in. Then I got the Red box indicating I was out of luck, but had suspicion that the one site I had seen was actually still sitting in my basket but I couldn't get to the checkout page to finalise it. VERY frustrating. Was carrying on like a porkchop at the wife, trying to decide what to do - do we grab it not knowing the site dimensions? Speed reading pages of stuff and getting her up to speed with the predicament Should be a lot easier than that. I understand its popular and people want particular things but I didn't dare try a Saturday arvo phone call to ticketek for fear of missing out in that time. I'm impressed Trevor even managed to get hold of somebody by phone. Quote:
Good to hear you guys managed to get some adjacent sites at least. Every year I see on TV these huge impressive setups around the circuit. Never considered the stress the people went through to lock in their spots. |

Its not just accommodation at the track its also the surrounding suburbs. When I tried a number of years ago I got alot of knockbacks. Now I have a regular and they rebook me every time I leave, however this will be the last time for many years I think. Other motorsport events to attend and to travel too after 2018. Atleast I know where I can find a good place to stay when I next return.
Im pretty bl00dy excited I must say for 2018 |

I was swearing (like the truck driver I used to be) and carrying on at the system, I was bloody angry. We wanted 4 sites in a square but had to be satisfied with 4 in a row - was lucky to get the 4 I think |

Wonder why they cant just manage booking last year’s site again this year, like every hotel in the town?

who know's GTR, I am sure feedback will be given to Supercars about the very poor performance of Ticketek. Then again, knowing how Supercars works, Ticketek are probably giving Supercars a significant kick-back on each site sold
It really shouldn't be that hard |

Those ticketing sites are the worst on the best of days so no surprises there.
How do the regulars end up getting the same multiple sites year in year out though ? |

It was 'grandfathered' if you'd been there before, you got first dibs in the sites. We've been at the same sites since '93.

Now that I've actually seen the place, I'm getting seriously jealous of you all being able to go there!

I was very surprised how quickly my Grandstand tix were sent..... the obvious thought was the campsite tix would be sorted just as fast. Will ask again at some point I'm sure, (as the level of concern increases ) |
