I just purchased my tickets for the Carlton game on [url=http://www.Ticketmaster7.com.au,]www.Ticketmaster7.com.au,[/url] I was just wondering everyones thoughts on the site? And if you have bought tickets there before.
First time I tried to order - came up with an error, so I tried again, same thing. Finally I realised that the section of tickets were gradually getting worse so I decided to get Premium tickets...they look a bit better and it actually worked this time. Anybody else ever had any probs?
Ticketmaster7.com.au - Your thoughts?

I actually wouldn't advise anyone to supply credit card info on the net.. at the moment, all that someone needs is your credit card no and expiry date to validate a transaction. so that means, when someone hacks into the company's site, they can get everyones credit card info, and wella! they can use it wherever they like!
but I still dont know why we do not have to use a pin number to pay for things online, whereas we need to do so at ATMs.. its just ludicrous! no validation = heaps of fraud
thats my two cents worth on security, although it didnt really have much do do with joel's question.. lol

Just thought I would let you know that there is not one case of fraud reported in Australia from Internet hacking and getting credit card numbers. We are one of, if not the, safest countries in the world for credit card transactions.
Just think, companies spend millions on net transaction security and encryption, as they need to protect there sales and investment - who wants to be known as an unsafe internet transaction company? would never sell another thing over the net. Dont be afraid of dealing with reputable Aussie companies on the net.
PS - Ticketmaster7 is slow and difficult to follow and very vague at times - would rather go in person to pick the tickets up as you can pretty much choose an exact spot. But always remember they put the crappy seats on sale first to get rid of them and then the better ones later on so dont get fooled - there are great cheap seats available at the G. You just have to wait a few extra days.
Cheers

Security on this sites are good, but not good enough... I mean, there's always someone that can hack into their systems, no matter how much preventitive measures you put in place. This is because if you have the technology to make it secure, there is another thing to get passed that.. im talking about this just to let you know, but if you don't believe me, ill send u the links to some pc magazine sites if u want to. however, maybe the chances are small, but the consequences are far greater!
P.S. How much are the tickets for concession members?

ytry4 - there is 128 bit encryption, a computer takes years and years to decode such encryption and the encryption method is different for every transaction. Meaning if they hacked into it then it would be impossible to decode. The only problems you will get is with companies who don't encrypt numbers.
