    Well, I got my tickets!

    How bizarre. First I made the mistake of starting the process on my mobile phone, as that was the only thing I could access at 9AM. I'm still in the queue as I type this, about 30% in. I then started a new browser window on a computer which had me start at the beginning of the queue around 9:30AM.

    Then I read the post above by Pacolito about 10 minutes ago. What the heck, see what happens so I started a new window in Chrome, and it showed me a list of available times after clicking on the By $98 Ticket button. Fluffed around and eventually got to the screen that I could order! Well, kicked me out probably because I was fluffing around, then I tried again. This time it took me back to the queue but not before briefly flashing up the order screen, so I tried it again and this time the options were fewer, but I think I managed to get a booking.

    Received e-mail confirmation as well.

    If you're keen, give it a go!

    • kgan on 12/09/2019 - 10:51

      Can anyone book for me…. I have tried all the options still can not book, I am after 4 adult 1 kid, after 6 pm.

      • quarrymaster on 12/09/2019 - 11:01

        You'd need to give your credit card details, not sure that is a good idea…

    • TRAVELO on 12/09/2019 - 11:00

      Same but took screenshots on that page and then live chatted the operators on the page and they manually booked my two tickets..

    After giving up in the queue, I opened a new browser session & used the "Book Now" quick select drop down box on the home page to select 2 tickets on 1st Oct, and successfully booked & paid. So weird.

    • kgan on 12/09/2019 - 10:53

      which session you selected.

    • activ8newbs on 12/09/2019 - 11:19

      exact same scenario for me

  • cnrmlj on 12/09/2019 - 10:56

    14 ticket maximum is ridiculous. Should be 4 or maybe 8 at the absolute maximum.

    Been in the que since just before 9. Line currently paused and has been for about half an hour now.

    • quarrymaster on 12/09/2019 - 11:02

      I think the "queue" is a sort of gatekeeper. I used Chrome and you literally skip the queue.

      • cnrmlj on 12/09/2019 - 11:07

        I'm using chrome too on 2 different computers.

        • quarrymaster on 12/09/2019 - 11:47

          If it takes you to the queue, start again. Not sure if you might need to clear your cache.

  • crashtest on 12/09/2019 - 10:57

    Thanks! it took 12 tries, finally got tickets, my other Q window still says 'The Line is Paused'. Been on since 8:50am…

  • mellamollama on 12/09/2019 - 11:06

    I managed to book tickets but I haven't received an email confirmation yet…has anyone else got a confirmation email?

  • metalporn on 12/09/2019 - 11:11

    Ok so I have been able to get the tickets.

    The process I followed was this:

    Go to bridgeclimb.com page and click on "Buy Now" and then before it goes to https://bridgeclimb.queue-it.net in a new Tab stop it from your Browser as it first tries to go to the payment page on https://secure.bridgeclimb.com/bridgeclimb/book/climbs/ and that Redirects it to Queueit page. Here you can select date, time, and no of people climbing. If you don't see Time select other dates first and then select 1st of October and then it will load the time.

    Also, I first tried Paypal Option which gave me "Object error" issues. The third time I paid directly via Amex.

    Enjoy!

    • kgan on 12/09/2019 - 11:15

      which time slot you selected?

      • metalporn on 12/09/2019 - 11:17

        There were many time slots available. I selected 8PM

        • kgan on 12/09/2019 - 11:17

          would you be able to book for me pls

          • metalporn on 12/09/2019 - 11:23

            @kgan: Do you want to give this a try first. Just load it from a new browser.

    • PurpleClover on 12/09/2019 - 11:22

      I used the same method and successfully booked 3 tix. Thx.

      • unknownhitler on 12/09/2019 - 11:33

        I was able to do it thanks :D

  • whoopdeedoo on 12/09/2019 - 11:22

    finally got it…

    click BUY NOW, and then quickly press ESC as soon as you see the green [HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE CLIMBING] to stop it from proceeding to the queue it page.

    this only seems to work when the queueit page is NOT when the line is paused.

    what a stupid process…

  • JTL on 12/09/2019 - 11:27
    +1

    Use this link and press ESC before the page finishes loading -

    https://secure.bridgeclimb.com/bridgeclimb/book/climbs/?pres…

    You can select time/number of people climbing once on the page.

  • Scanorama on 12/09/2019 - 11:27

    Booked a ticket without queueing - you need to stop the page loading before it directs you to the queue. Then select October 1st. You may need to load the dates a few times by selecting a different date then go back to 1/10 to get the time you want.

    My other tab is still showing I’m in the queue for at least one hour. I booked my ticket on iPhone Safari.

  • cnrmlj on 12/09/2019 - 11:34

        Full climb.

    I booked 3 tickets. Paid and got the invoice. I was quite sure i picked the full climb but invoice say its Express. What to do now? I already sent a message to them about it. No reply yet.

  • alvian on 12/09/2019 - 12:07

    Are we sure tickets bought through the hack will be honoured? $98 is not a small sum to risk.

Knew tickets would be gone, just curious whether line would progress or remain paused for eternity. Stuff your birthday offer, marketing fail.

        I chat them online, they cannot help on this, whole day has been booked out, no room to move us, 100% sure I selected full climb. Let me know if they could resolve this for you, otherwise we have to enjoy city views on a lower arch and Bridge architecture around. My one is on 17:40, not sure what a night express walk will be like tho…

        • itonez on 12/09/2019 - 17:08
          +1

          I tried chatting with them online and there was a wait. Was at work so couldn't wait for them. Auto message advised me to leave a message which i did but doubt they would respond
          I was hoping for them to respond quicker to sort it out before end of the day. Like what you said once its booked its difficult to move people
          Mines at 10:40am.

          Express option is still decent. You would still reach the very top of the arch for a group photo. The only differences its quicker, less steps taken. But the ascend and descend is via the lower arch. We can't bring our phones anyway so doesn't really matter as long we reach to the very top!

          • ccxi7 on 12/09/2019 - 17:27

      • ccxi7 on 13/09/2019 - 11:43

        Not sure why this has happened to us all, if they could solve this for you, let me know :) Otherwise I think we have to stay positive, like @itonez said, $98 for express still decent, you still reach the top and enjoy a view with Bridge architecture all around you, full climb is good but it stop for way to long at different parts of the bridge and also a longer prep work. And this won't be my last climb anyway.

        • l bubby on 22/09/2019 - 15:57

          I called BridgeClimb and was offered to book any day or night session within the first week of October for the Full Bridge Climb. I decided to change it to 6th Oct. So glad I now have better tickets on a more convenient day and that it worked out in the end.

  • born2Bwild on 12/09/2019 - 15:32

    Back in the 80's and early 90's I use to ring the Sydney Harbour Bridge Authority to ask permission for access to the top of the Bridge to take photographs of Naval ships entering and leaving Sydney Harbour from Garden Island Naval Base. It was never a problem, no safety gear or guide ropes. Come and collect the gate key and away I would go unescorted. Did that at least five times during that period and many of my co-workers also had unlimited access. I would never pay the exorbitant fees they are charging now.

  • bargain-lover007 on 12/09/2019 - 16:12

    The website says the below: Will it be included in the birthday special ticket as well ? Any idea.

    "Your ticket inclusions: Both Climbs include a BridgeClimb cap, a Certificate of Achievement, Climb Group Photo, and a free pass to The Pylon Lookout."

  • vikvance on 12/09/2019 - 16:33

    Well, that was as s**t an experience as I was thinking it would be.

    I forgot to read this thread & only kept one window open on the queue. The queue time lengthened & lengnthened & then the queue paused & then it went to Bad Gateway.

    Hope the profiteering fatcats behind BridgeClimb Sydney have a real bad day, forever!!

Now have a weekend climb booked in for the family late October. I’m guessing anyone who left their details on the site will get a call. Fingers crossed.

    • mellamollama on 13/09/2019 - 11:41

I was hoping to get tickets for around 3.15–4.45pm, but in the mess, I was only able to nab these. If anyone has two Full Bridge climb tickets for 3.15–4.45pm, and would like to swap them for 5.25pm or 6.25pm, I'd be happy to do that.

    I got called too and offered to book any day or night period in October! I did try to check out twice when the sale started - selected the tickets I wanted but payment couldn't go through at the time. Stoked I got even better tickets than what I originally wanted!

    Props to this company - they dealt with this very well!

    • markl on 19/09/2019 - 12:58

    Quite enjoyed our experience today, our guide Hannah was terrific. Got a bit tiring as we made the final ascent to the flagpoles, but the stretched out pace was rather forgiving.

    It's hard to say if I would recommend it. at $100 or $200, it's a go. At $400 it's harder to justify. Having said that, it was quite an operation, with the staff, maintenance, cleaning, logistics etc, etc.

    Thanks O.P. for the deal. The hassle to order in the beginning is a distant memory, but if not for some tips by fellow OzBargainers, could've missed out altogether despite doing what was asked of us!

    • astroman on 02/10/2019 - 01:44

      Couldn’t agree more, was a great experience and the actual price is reasonable once you factor in all the logistics
