AFL announces price freeze on general admission tickets at MCG and Marvel Stadium
The AFL has announced the return of family tickets and the freezing of general admission ticket prices for all matches at the MCG and Marvel Stadium across its2023 Premiership Season.
After a previous price freeze across the last four seasons (2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022), the AFL continues its commitment to affordability by once again freezing general admission tickets at $27 for adults, $18 for concessions and $5 for children. Youngsters under four years old continue to be free.
Additionally, following a successful trial in 2022, the family ticket, consisting of two adults and two children for $54 will be available at all home and away season games at both the MCG and Marvel Stadium.
Commenting on the extended price freeze, AFL Executive General Manager Customer and Commercial, Kylie Rogers stated “more than 6.1 million fans attended a game last season, one of our best seasons on record both on and off the field, and with the 2023 season 30 days away, the momentum is very quickly building.
"The price freeze and family ticket are part of our commitment to fans in keeping footy prices as affordable and accessible as possible and thanking members and fans who continue to stick by their clubs, as cost-of-living pressures are very much front of mind for every household.
"We are really aware of the challenges everyone is facing; this is the fifth year in a row we have frozen GA prices - it is an important part of continuing to make the game as accessible as possible.
"In driving key commercial outcomes, it allows us to keep AFL matches affordable and accessible while also working with another of our key priorities to ensure our game is affordable and accessible at community level, where young boys and girls can play footy."
