Grand Final Ballot Registration Guide

HOW TO REGISTER FOR THE 2026 TOYOTA AFL GRAND FINAL

To register for a Grand Final ticket you will need your membership barcode number and any barcode number of member(s) you wish to attend with.

Members who wish to attend together must register in a group providing all membership barcode numbers in one transaction, using one credit card.

A limit of eight (8) barcodes per transaction applies. Each member barcode will be charged a $6.00 non-refundable fee at time of registration to cover administration costs.

• Members will be required to register for Grand Final tickets via the Ticketek website (by logging onto ticketek.com.au).
• Please ensure you have a My Ticketek Account before registering. If you don’t already have an account, we recommend logging onto ticketek.com.au and selecting ‘My Ticketek’ to create an account at least 24 hours prior to registration.
• To retain priority, members must select the correct priority group, relevant to the priority that their membership entitles them to register for. It is the responsibility of the member to ensure the correct Priority Group is selected when completing registration.
• Members in different priority groups who wish to attend together must register under the lower priority group. For example, a Priority 1 Member who wishes to attend with Priority 2 Members must register with them in Priority 2 and will be processed with them as part of Priority 2 (forgoing Priority 1 access). Please be aware that registering in a lower priority group may reduce your chance of securing a ticket.

REMINDER: All members requiring accessible tickets or wishing to register with another member that requires accessible tickets, please enter details here prior to Monday 14 September, 11:59am.

--------------------------------------

PRIORITY ONE – GUARANTEED (AFTER BALLOT ENTRY*)

Membership Types - Gold, Legends, PP&O and Life Members
Registration Time – 8:30am – 5:30pm ACST on Wednesday 16 September.
*Any Priority One member who does not register within the registration timeframe or under the correct priority group will have waived their right to a guaranteed ticket. It does not matter what time you register during the designated timeframe, as all registrations will be randomised to determine the order in which tickets will be allocated. If you select the 'no standing room' option when entering the ballot and all reserved seat tickets have been allocated when your registration is next to be processed, you will not be issued a Grand Final Ticket and therefore waive the right to your guaranteed ticket.

At the time of registration, members can elect not to receive Standing Room ticket(s), however if all members in your group are able to stand for the duration of the day, we strongly recommend all members select Option 1 – ‘I will accept the best available ticket – including Standing Room’ at the time of registering to retain guaranteed (Priority 1) access to a Grand Final ticket.

--------------------------------------

PRIORITY TWO – BALLOT

Membership Types - Silver Reserved Seat, Western Stand Reserved Seat, Season General Admission, Season Western Stand Unreserved, Victorian Ultimate, Victorian PAYG and Interstate.
Registration Time – 8:30am – 5:30pm ACST on Wednesday 16 September.
Any Priority Two member who does not register under the correct priority group or instead elect to register with Priority Three members will have waived their right to the Priority Two ballot.

At the time of registration, members can elect not to receive Standing Room ticket(s), however if all members in your group are able to stand for the duration of the day, we strongly recommend all members select Option 1 – ‘I will accept the best available ticket – including Standing Room’ at the time of registering. You will reduce your chance of being successful in obtaining a Grand Final ticket if you elect not to receive a Standing Room ticket at time of registration.

--------------------------------------

PRIORITY THREE – BALLOT

Membership Types - 5 Game Western Stand, 3 Game Western Stand, Showdown Premium, Showdown Access, 3 Game General Admission, 2 Game Reserved Seat, 2 Game General Admission, Victorian General Admission, Country Crow and 4-Game Family Pass.

Priority Three members will be allocated Grand Final tickets after the registrations of Priority Group One and Priority Group Two have been fulfilled.

At the time of registration, members can choose whether or not to accept a Standing Room ticket. If all members in your group are able to stand for the duration of the day, we strongly recommend selecting ‘I will accept the best available ticket – including Standing Room’. Choosing not to accept Standing Room will significantly reduce your chances of securing a Grand Final ticket if all reserved seats have already been allocated when your registration is processed.
