The AFL has placed a freeze on all ticket prices for September’s 2014 finals series.
“We have listened to the concerns of football fans this year around affordability, scheduling and ticketing, and this is the first step in demonstrating the AFL’s resolve to address those concerns,” AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said on Monday in a statement.
Entry-level seating prices in the first two weeks of the final series at the MCG remain at $40, with a family ticket for two adults and two children priced at $80.
Tickets for the September 27 grand final start at $180.
“It is the first time in some two decades that prices have not increased for the AFL’s showpiece game of the season,” the AFL said.
Week one finals tickets go on sale on Monday September 1.

Pricing for the big one is not the issue.. accessibility is! Most fans would sell a kidney for the chance to watch their team bring home a flag. I would personally prefer the higher admission charge and a minimum of 80% seats going to members of competing teams not corporate knobs who have bugger all interest in the result but are only there to guzzle *free booze and look like a tool in their suits. *nothing is free.
