Ticketing Talk, Buy, Sell:

AFL Grand Final - Grand Final Tickets - Got yours? Want some?

Ticketing talk. TL;DR - We have this thread to help fans talk about their seats, the venue, and get to the game. Not to help scalpers rip people off. We don't take any responsibility for any trades of any sort. The rules: - Posters scalping GF tickets on BigFooty will have their accounts...

The AFL last week announced ticketing prices and on-sale information for the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
  • The $185 entry level price has been frozen for the third year in a row, after previous prices freezes in 2019 and 2020.
  • Consistent with previous years, competing club members receive the biggest allocation of tickets to the season’s biggest match.
  • 24,000 tickets will be available to the two clubs (12,000 each), with any of these tickets not taken up by members going towards the General Public on-sales.
  • Historically, general public tickets have never gone on sale for Grand Finals in Victoria, however footy fans in Western Australia will be rewarded with a minimum 10,000 tickets immediately allocated to the General Public, and then increased with the balance of the unused member allocation.
  • The competing club member on-sale begins Monday September 13 for Melbourne members, and then on Tuesday September 14 for Western Bulldogs members.
  • The entire General Public on-sale will then commence on Thursday, September 16 at 10:00am AWST.
On Sale Times (all times AWST) – tickets available exclusively through Ticketmaster.

The AFL congratulates Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs on their respective Preliminary Final wins and progressing through to the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final to be played at 5:15pm AWST / 7:15pm AEST on Saturday, September 25 at Optus Stadium.

The 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final is the first AFL premiership-decider to be held in Perth and the second held outside of Victoria as a result of the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in recent seasons.

AFL General Manager of Clubs and Broadcasting Travis Auld said he was looking forward to the biggest match of the season and reiterated the health and safety of everyone in the community remains the priority.

“I would like to congratulate Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs for progressing through to the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final, a great achievement and a testament to their persistence this season,” Mr Auld said.

Mr Auld said both teams will serve a pre-Grand Final bye with Melbourne to remain in Perth until the Grand Final and the Western Bulldogs to travel to Perth from Adelaide tomorrow. Melbourne has completed their quarantine period in Western Australia while the Western Bulldogs will complete their quarantine requirements at 12:30pm AWST on Sunday, September 19 as per their Western Australian directions.

“On behalf of the AFL, I would like to thank all 18 AFL Clubs, players, coaches, staff and their families, umpires, AFLPA, fans, broadcast and commercial partners, venues and all State Governments for their ongoing support.”

The 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final will be broadcast live nationally on the Seven Network.


Team Announcements timings for the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final will be as follows:

Saturday games – final teams (18 players, 4 interchange players, 4 emergencies)
Announced Thursday, 6.20pm AEST

I’m nearly 50 years old, this is only the second Grand Final in my lifetime. My 13 year old self (1985) wants this more than my 49 year old self, but it’s still good. Because of our recent draught breaking win, I totally get the Melbourne fans desire. So if Max
Gawn is lifting the cup up, it would be the easiest one to handle rather than any other club, except the Saints also. Saying that, this is still a great chance for our club and I will be barracking hard.
 
I have good friends that follow these clubs so sitting on the fence for this one.
I know it would be great if the Dees win for Neale Daniher and also the Doggies to win,my sis follows them.

Just hope us neutrals are treated to an epic in front of a loud WA crowd.


I went to the 88 granny and decked myself in a velour red and blue jumper in the Pies members allocated section as a Pie friend gave me the ticket,poured down rain as the magicians of Hawthorn tore the Dees a new one but I was invested in the Dees after their 87 season and the cruel blow of that final and Stynesy.

My heart slightly on the Dees side.

May the best team win.

Arguably the two best sides all year, certainly both performed well against top 8 sides.

Should be a good entertaining game. Good luck getting tickets to those who want them

Yup all the best to both teams , should be a ripper of a game, ,in the end Bontempelli & Liberator will be the difference they are both at the peak of their game and its so exciting to watch, they will separate the two teams, . Dogs by a sniff.
 
Got my tickets, flying in on the day from the NT. can’t wait and sorry to all those loyal supporters who can’t make it.
 
Really looking forward to this game, should be a beauty. At the start of the finals this was my most preferred result as I like both teams, they both play an exciting brand, their coaches are likeable, and their fans haven’t tasted much success(yes I know the dogs won a few years ago. They have also been arguably the 2 best teams for the year save for the dogs blip in the last 3 weeks.
I’m slightly favouring the dees to break their drought however wouldn’t at all be surprised if the dogs get up. I just think Melbourne’s defence is very strong and should be able to shut down the dogs forwards.
Perth will put on a great show however I do feel sorry for lifelong Melbourne fans who miss the chance to be there if they do salute.

Are any Demons and Bulldogs supporters who live in Melbourne making the trip or have already done so? Do you need an exemption to enter Western Australia from Melbourne or do you only need to quarantine?

there’s no way anyone is getting past Marks borders. If Eddie was told no, I can’t imagine anyone else being allowed, even if they were happy to do quarantine
