Seat Return

Hawthorn’s seat return program allows reserved seat holders who are unable to attend home games to return their reserved seat for resale. If your seat is successfully resold to another fan, you will be awarded a credit towards your 2027 Membership.

1. To return your seat you must login online to your MyHawks account with your email and password. Members can also return their seat by calling (03) 9535 3045. Seat return instructions can be found here.
2. Members must return their seat before the nominated cut-off time listed below for each game
3. Once your seat has been returned, it cannot be retrieved to use for this match and your membership card will be deactivated for this game.
4. A credit towards your 2027 membership will only be awarded if your reserved seat is successfully resold through Ticketek. There is no guarantee that a seat returned for resale will be sold.
5. If a credit is awarded to you, it can only be used on the following season’s membership and it is non-transferable.
6. Return credits are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash.
7. You will be notified via email if your seat has successfully been resold.
8. If your 2026 membership is complimentary, discounted or non-compliant you are ineligible for a credit award.
