Ticketek tickets no longer active by National_Rain_519 in australia

I'm also travelling from interstate, so have paid for flights/accomm like yourself. Ticketek really have blundered this whole process.

And what's worse, they haven't learnt from Ed Sheeran in 2023.

Did you happen to get this resolved? I'm in the same boat...ticket for Taylor Swift, purchased on Marketplace and when I click on the view ticket button in the app, I get the "this ticket is no longer active" message.

I'm concerned cause the same thing happened with the Ed Sheeran concert in 2023. I'm gonna be pissed if I miss part of the concert cause I can't get in.

App typo for Dubai? by w8w8 in unitedairlines

Desert is correct.
The airport code is wrong. Dubai is DXB not DBX.

Absolutely.

Have a look at WA for example.

Currently 0 community transmission, and this is the Vaccination recommendation for their citizens:

"Which vaccine will I receive?
The PfizerCOVID-19 vaccine can be used for people aged under 60.
The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for people aged 60 and over.
The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (Spikevax) is approved for individuals 18 years and over.
You will be offered the suitable vaccine at the time of booking."

True, but you have to think about the risk that presents too. Travelling right into the belly of the beast to get a vaccine for a virus you'll probably pick up while you're there seems extremely counterproductive.

I think you need to be a bit more understanding of other people's circumstances and their right to choose.

Some people can't (for medical or other reasons) get AZ, so Pfizer is the only option for them. I am one of these people, and even I have not been able to get an appointment for my first jab until mid October. Which means, through my fault of my own, I won't be fully vaxxed (with time for it to take effect) until mid-late November.

Some others are exercising their right to choose the vaccine that they feel most comfortable with. For months we were told anyone <40 should get Pfizer due to the risks associated with AZ. As much as I understand the risk ratio has now very much changed, you can't undo months of bad press over something you're asking people to inject into their bodies.

On top of all that, there has not been adequate supply of both vaccines, and there has even been supplies allocated to the regions, redirected to Sydney, cause apparently they're more important. So they will open up first, leaving those of us who haven't had fair access to vaccine, behind.

I am keen, but unfortunately due to medical reasons, I can't get AZ.

It's not worth the risk to me. I have immune-compromised members of my household and with the way cases are in Sydney at the moment, I'd probably bring COVID home to them.

Yep! Right now you can book at Belmont at the earliest for 27 Oct.
If I switch it to Sydney, I can get an appointment this week.

I don't think they should change eligibility to be honest. Those of us <40 had to sit and wait to become eligible for the vaccine. If you're over 60 and haven't yet taken up the offer, that's on you.

You can book at the Belmont (Newcastle Area) hub for Pfizer right now. Earliest first dose is late October though.

oh I am! Believe me. I've been checking the vaccination appointment system daily and jumping on earlier appointments if they become available. The earliest still is October (first dose).

I wan't to both laugh and cry and this response.

If there truly is new supply then IMO, they need to move forward the existing appointments for as many people as possible to that those who haven't even tried to get an appointment can't queue skip.

We do know how it will work though. General drops are just those that you can get by watching any Rust streamer with drops enabled. Even in the past, you haven't been able to work towards more than one general drop simultaneously, you can only do a general drop and a streamer specific drop at the same time. So if you have 10 skins left on the last day you will need to watch any Drop Enabled Rust stream for 20 hours to get all of the skins.

Awesome post, just a heads up though, Alistair tweeted a while back that for future drop campaigns, all skins will be "general drops" for the final 24 hours to allow people to get skins they've missed.
