How to get an AFL grand final ticket and how much club members pay to get one

How do club members buy tickets?

Geelong and Brisbane Lions will distribute 17,500 ticket allocation to members with a vote – Automatic Electronic lottery made by Ticket this weekend.

Geelong members were informed on Saturday that the ballot panel was about to run that day and that they should have enough money in the bank accounts to pay the tickets they requested.

It costs 6 dollars per membership to enter the ballot, so registering is like buying a little draw. The only difference is that instead of winning the meat tray in your local pub, the award is an opportunity to buy a large final ticket. However, the ballot is not as random as a lottery, and all memberships are not created evenly.

Who enters the ballot?

For the chance to buy a large final ticket, the days of the members who slept roughly except for their local bass outputs have already gone. For logistics reasons, Ticketk (formerly BASS) invited the appropriate members of the four clubs that enabled the front final to register on the ballot. However, only CATS and Lions members go to votes to buy tickets for the Grand Final – Hawthorn and Collingwood members, their teams lost their money as soon as they lost their own front finals.

All of the four pre -final clubs recorded the registration of all time in 2025. Among them, they have approximately 370,000 combined membership base suitable for entering a large number of ballots.

Collingwood and Geelong members reserved the preliminary finals of their team’s qualifying final wins, while Lions and Hawks were registered to the ballot after they took their chances of their fans on Wednesday last week.

Does everyone have an equal chance on the ballot?

No. Although most club members have access to the ballot, each club’s team makes the big finals of themselves, there are thousands of members who pay extra payment to guarantee the chance to buy a large final ticket.

Extra payment members had to pay to enter and do so, and their tickets will come from the 17,500 allocation of their clubs.

Most clubs call this guarantee as “priority” access to a large final ticket in membership propaganda. Each club has its own membership products package in various ways to access the big final tickets.

Priority access is often added to more expensive membership offers, such as social club memberships, but clubs make it possible for standard members to purchase an add -on throughout the season.

For example, Geelong members can spend $ 240 for the “Premiership Membership Plugin”. Collingwood had members who paid $ 150 for an “Social Club plug -in”, just like Adelaide’s $ 150 “Grand Final Guarantee”, which guaranteed a large final ticket. However, of course, when the clubs left the final race, these rights were lost.

So how many tickets are distributed randomly to the ballot?

We want to tell you. However, clubs and AFL numbers are kept as a secret secret. We also approached the four pre -final clubs, and the respondents said that they set a limit on a priority membership to this Masthead. However, none of them say what this cover is, and AFL has taken care not to release the past or current numbers on the ballot compasses.

Brisbane Lions said that some of the members who have a priority access cannot travel interchangeable for the Grand Finals and that their allocation is well below the capacity, so that the less accessible members will have the chance to buy tickets on the ballot.

How do the members find out if they are successful in the ballot?

The first thing they can notice is that Ticket with withdraws money from the nominated bank account. This weekend began to become. Geelong members were told that the ballot would be carried out on Saturday and if they were successful, they would withdraw money from the bank accounts nominated later on that day. Those who kidnap the ballot, undoubtedly check the entire weekend account balance for a heavy withdrawal symptom. The next best bet to watch the game, Free live site is being established in Geelong’s East Beach The coast on Saturday by the city of Great Geelong.

How much money for lucky members pay for tickets is largely out of their controls – this is determined by the determination of randomly allocated seats in the ballot.

The price of hope is the big business

As AFL said, on the Grand Final Day, “MCG can sell four times” and the weekend front -final crowds were evidence of Victoria’s appetite for football in September.

This great demand means that Diehard Footy fans create great amounts for the chance to be there when the teams play in the decision. And in most cases, they do it happily if they mean that their teams can see the Premiership Cup personally.

A seat at the entrance level can cost 195 dollars-it can be compared with a large concert ticket-the real cost of buying this ticket is worth at least twice for those who pay for the right to purchase. And those who do not pay money to buy tickets are against more members who pay the hope that the number will enter the ballot.

Even $ 6 executive fee paid by each member entering the game is added. Imagine: Only 45 percent of the members of Collingwood, Geelong, Brisbane Lions and Hawthorn will be registered for this year’s ballot, only $ 1 million will have paid management fees.
