AFL reveals ticket price freeze for finals series
The AFL has announced that ticket prices for matches at all venues across the first three weeks of the upcoming Toyota AFL Finals Series have been frozen.
The League has also confirmed that entry level tickets for AFL Grand Final have been frozen at $185 for a fourth consecutive year, while there will be a 3% increase on all other categories compared to the 2019 AFL Grand Final.
Prices for weeks one and two of the series have already been frozen since 2019, while week three will now be frozen at 2021 prices. Entry level reserved seats for weeks one and two will remain at $35 and week three prices will remain at $65.
After a challenging season during which spectator numbers have fallen, AFL Executive General Manager Customer and Commercial, Kylie Rogers said the price freeze recognised the commitment members and fans had made to their clubs.
Rogers stated "footy's bounce back this season and has been nothing short of phenomenal, with over 1.2 million members and 5.48 million fans attending the matches around the country.
"With this in mind, our commitment remains to keep finals footy prices as an affordable option and thank the members and fans who have stuck by their clubs this season."
On-sale dates for Finals series tickets will be communicated shortly, with members getting first access.
The AFL has also confirmed its Grand Final ticketing structure, with competing club members receiving an allocation of 17,000 tickets each.
