They will have another sale of those as we get closer to the game. Plenty of unhappy customers who also had their tickets cancelled because they had them sent to a PO Box. Apparently it was in the fine print that this wasnt allowed. Poor form by the QLD [icon_thumbs_do
Livermore was saying this morning that the second release will be in a couple of weeks - it will be advertised on the QRL website, so keep your eyes out if you want some.
And on the PO Box thing - that has been the case for a number of years. You have to tick a box that you've read the terms and conditions and yes I know hardly anyone does, but if you don't and you tick the box you run the risk of not getting the tickets. Apparently scalpers are more likely to use PO Boxes instead of street addresses and this is why most major events these days won't let you have a PO Box for tickets. I say poor form from ticketek for the original emails it sent saying people had the tickets - they should have had a disclaimer "subject to QRL approval" or something. I understand there are genuine non-scalpers who have now missed out cause they used a PO BOx, but thems the rules - unfortunately idiot scalpers ruin things for decent people.

You have as much chance as everyone else who jumps on at exactly 9am - but a better chance than someone who jumps on at 9.01am. However don't think you can jump on much before 9am and get a better chance because Ticketek times you out exactly 8 minutes after you open their page (not after you log in, but from the moment you open the web page).
Personally I am always got tickets on the first release so not sure how likely you will be to get them on second release (when there are far less available). But best advice - know exactly what category and how many you want, log in, select what you want, accept their first offer of tickets and get your payment done. DO NOT THINK OR SECOND GUESS YOURSELF ONCE YOU ARE LOGGED IN.
Good luck

IMO the trick is to go for the lower category tickets. Everyone busts their balls going for category 1 which simply aren't available to the general public. They're raffled off too sponsors and corporates...
I always go for the ones on the second tier behind the posts and have been fortunate enough to get them every time I've tried.
The lady at ticketeck said it was a good strategy due to the reasons stated above...
