The AFL grand final is one of the hottest tickets on the Australian sporting calendar. Played on Saturday, September 29 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with the first bounce scheduled for 2:30pm, tickets are hard to come by.
If you aren’t either a club member or an AFL member, you have buckleys and none of getting tickets, unfortunately.
Due to the high demand, particularly with Melbourne-based clubs making the decider this year, the official AFL website states there is no planned on-sell of tickets to the general public.
Instead, if your club has made the final four, you should have already registered by now with Ticketek to be part of a ballot following the preliminary final.
Even then, it comes down to luck. With only a small amount of tickets available to each club compared to the amount of members, the ballot from Ticketek will decide whether you’ll be watching the game from the ground or from your couch at home.
Ticketek complete the ballot allocations between September 23-25, and if your club is through to the decider, you’ll be able to check from 9am on either Monday or Tuesday as to whether you were successful in getting tickets.
If you’re an AFL member, it’ll again come down to pot luck.
Tickets to full AFL members with a club of support in the decider will go on sale at 10am on Sunday, September 23, and without a club of support at 2pm on the same day with a three-hour window for each.
Any tickets not purchased by that point will go on sale the following day, Monday, September 24, from 11am to both full and silver members with a club of support.
Any AFL members who haven’t purchased a ticket by that point will then be able to purchase any remaining tickets from 2pm on the same day.
