AFL Grand Final tickets on sale now

admin — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 02:53:17 +0000

Geelong and Collingwood are two of the AFL’s most heavily supported teams, but only 27,000 tickets to the decider are available.

Geelong scored an easy 48-point preliminary final victory over West Coast at the MCG yesterday.Fans lucky enough to get tickets to Saturday’s match will be treated to a contest between two teams on a mission.

But ordinary footy fans face heartache, with thousands of Cats and Pies supporters to miss out on tickets and be forced to pay huge prices for package deals, scalped tickets or watch the match on TV as masses of tickets go to corporate interests.

Members of both clubs entered a ballot for tickets to the premiership decider last week, but with only a limited amount available, many will miss out.

Grand Final tickets will go on sale to full AFL members with a competing club support package at 10am today.

MCC members who have not already received tickets in a ballot can walk up to the gate on match day in the hope of buying a limited amount of tickets.

Scalpers have demanded up to $2000 for Grand Final tickets in the past, but the State Government warned yesterday that anyone caught scalping tickets, either selling or buying, faced fines of between $7000 and $35,000.

Geelong fans in the crowd of 59,455 at the MCG yesterday roared with delight as their team earned its chance to etch their name in the history books as one of the game’s greatest teams.

Despite the easy win, early TAB betting markets last night had Collingwood the $1.80 favourite for the flag and Geelong paying $2.

2009 AFL Grand Final

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:24:15 +0000

The AFL Grand final in 2009 saw the Geelong Cats win their 2nd premiership in just three years.

St Kilda, having dominated for the entire AFL Football season, went into the game as favourites and with huge sentimental support. After a tough close match Geelong showed their true class by coming from behind in the third quarter to win the 2009 AFL premiership.

For the 2010 AFL Finals in September, refer to the AFL Finals System page to see how the top eight teams will match up.
