Grand Final Registration

• Members will register for a Grand Final ticket online at ticketek.com.au

• Registrations for all priority groups will open at the same time, from 9am on the scheduled day. Select the correct Priority Group from the dropdown menu – it is your responsibility to ensure this is done correctly

• You will be prompted to provide your 12-digit membership barcode number(s) and credit card number. Each barcode entered will be charged a $5.00 non-refundable fee at time of registration to cover administration costs.

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

• Adult members may only purchase tickets at adult prices and concession and junior members may only purchase at the concession price. There is no junior price for the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final.

• Members wishing to attend together must register their group in one transaction using one credit card. There is a maximum of eight (8) tickets per transaction and members should be aware that registrations with more than one ticket are ‘one in all in’ or ‘one out all out’; group registrations will not be split.

• Ensure to have the barcodes for all members in your group on hand, before commencing your registration.

• 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.

REMINDER: All members requiring accessible tickets or wishing to register with another member that requires accessible tickets, please refer to the communication from the Club for alternate registration instructions

• Registration will be open for all priority groups between 9am-6pm (AEST). To retain priority, members must select the correct priority group from the dropdown options.
• It is the responsibility of the member to ensure the correct Priority Group is selected when completing registration.
• Registration time on the day does not affect your chances. Each priority group is randomised for ticket allocation.
• Should we win a Preliminary Final, Ticketek will:
  • Randomly allocate tickets to registered Priority 1 Plus Members first.
  • Randomly allocate remaining tickets to Priority 1 members, then (if available) Priority 2 members.
• At that time, members who are successful in obtaining a Grand Final ticket will automatically be charged for tickets via Ticketek without prior notification of the transaction. You must ensure you have enough funds on your nominated credit card to pay for all registered tickets. Any payment issues may result in the cancellation of your Grand Final ticket/s.
• Tickets will be allocated as next best available, which may include reserved seats, restricted view seats, or standing room (depending on your standing room preference selected at registration).

The following ticket options will be provided for members to select when registering:

1. I will accept the best available ticket – including Standing Room
   Members can receive reserved seating across any level at the MCG, Restricted View seat or Standing Room ticket. These will be allocated on the next best available basis.
2. I will accept the best available reserved seat – no Standing Room
   Members can receive reserved seating across any level at the MCG or a Restricted View seat only. Members will not be allocated a Standing Room ticket.'

Tickets will be allocated via ballot on a next best available basis, members can receive reserved seating across any level at the MCG, Restricted View seat or a Standing Room ticket. If you select option 2 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.

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.

Members who have a medical requirement for access to accessible tickets, hold a companion card or wish to book in a group with other members who have an accessible requirement, will need to be issued with a new Grand Final Accessible Registration barcode. If this applies to you please contact the Club via (03) 9535 3045 no later than 12pm Monday September 15 to obtain your code.

Please refer to the accessible tickets registration guide.

A random ballot of all registrations in each priority group will be carried out by Ticketek should Hawthorn qualify for the 2025Toyota AFL Grand Final to determine the order of allocating tickets. For Priority Group Two members, this will decide both the order in which tickets will be allocated and who is successful in obtaining tickets.

Members who are successful in obtaining a 2025Toyota AFL Grand Final ticket will automatically be charged for tickets once it has been confirmed that Hawthorn will participate in the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final. Members who were successful in the ballot will have their credit card charged on either September 20, 21or 22.

Please ensure that you have enough funds for all tickets on your nominated card. If your credit card fails to process, you will receive an SMS from Ticketek and email from the Club with strict payment instructions. Please ensure you follow these instructions as your ticket(s) will be automatically void should your payment fail to be taken.

If you need to change your credit card details prior to the ballot, you can do so up until 11am, Thursday September 18 by contacting the Hawthorn Membership Team on (03) 9535 3045. We will then arrange Ticketek to call you and collect the relevant information.

Once the ballot has been finalised, members can log onto the Ticketek website to check the outcome of their ticket registration by checking for their Ticketek Customer ID. Email notification will also be sent to successful and unsuccessful members by the Club once the ticket allocation process is complete. If you were successful in obtaining tickets, this communication will also detail how to access your mobile Grand Final ticket(s) via the Ticketek app.

Under the Major Events Act 2009 (VIC) it is illegal to on-sell or advertise for resale AFL Grand Final tickets at a premium or as part of a package, unless the seller is authorised in writing by the AFL.
