Gather Round tickets snapped up in record time


The AFL is pleased to announce that more than 195,000 Gather Round…Festival of Footy tickets have sold… with five of the nine games sold out, 20,000 more than this time last year.

Member on sale on Tuesday saw a significant uplift in demand for tickets this year, selling more than 100,000 tickets in the first four hours, in comparison to the same amount in 24 hours last year.

This year there are an extra 47,000 tickets on offer for fans with the two Saturday matches being ticketed separately.

Tickets still remain for Collingwood vs Sydney Swans on Friday night, Carlton vs West Coast on Saturday afternoon, Melbourne vs Essendon on Saturday night and a very limited number of restricted view tickets and tickets for the Pepsi Collective for Port Adelaide vs Hawthorn on Sunday evening.

AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said it was clear Gather Round momentum was not slowly down.

“The demand for tickets this year was significantly higher than the first two Gather Rounds, with more than 195,000 tickets being purchased in the first two days,” said Mr Dillon.

“A ticket to the matches at the Barossa Park was always going to be one of the hottest tickets in town and the fans have certainly illustrated that by selling out both matches so quickly.”

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas said: “Gather Round continues to exceed all expectations.

“We are honoured that so many footy fans from around the country are making the commitment to travel to our beautiful state to experience this event like no other.

“They’ll be truly welcome.

“If you haven’t got a ticket already – get in quick!”

Tickets for the remaining matches can be found here.

57,507 at Perth Stadium

 

[Sammoll]

Adelaide vs Hawthorn and Brisbane vs Gold Coast are both very easy instant sell outs for next week

 

[Rouel_14]

Pity Brisvegas didn’t have that 60,000 seat Olympic stadium ready to go.

Next week deserves a bigger stage than 35K.

Brisbane and Gold Coast members will be locked out and the casual observers not even a look in.

 

[Rouel_14]

Likewise WA.

The richest state in the country. Put those dam extra 10,000 seats in you built the stadium to accommodate.

Should have been built for 80,000 in the first place.

AFL in dreamland with a Q-Clash Semi Final.

The Western Derby, despite being the first non-vic derby to exist, is now the only one not to occur in a final.

Adelaide needs the same. They would get 60k/80k easily to finals and showdowns if anyone could go besides members and and walk ups included.

Last nights finals crowd of 57,507 was the smallest ever at Perth Stadium (excluding 2 games during covid years with no Perth teams).

It is even smaller than two home and away season games…

I thought the AFL posted it as a sellout.

And I remember posters also saying that Dillon said mid week that our game against Hawthorn was a sellout?

I watched that episode and from memory he said it was near. Not sure how posters ran with it being a sellout.

AFL has been fudging numbers all season, why would they stop now?

The numbers reported by the AFL have tallied up with the venue reported numbers.

It really isn't that much of a conspiracy.

With respect to this comment, even footy classified called out the AFL for fudging numbers this year. It's widely known that they have done it for a few games.

In their defence, it's amazing how shockingly little some AFL journos know.

It's in no ones interest to fudge numbers and would be a PR disaster if they did.

The league would immediately lose so much legitimacy and would be a sponsor and broadcaster nightmare.

There would be much more relevant oversight by the relevant stakeholders (sponsors and broadcasters) than ever discussed here but no one seems to mention that.

I have no doubt about that considering Sam McClure is probably the biggest idiot out there, but it doesn't mean that they still can't find the exact number

so show us ass clown

Mate your comments are embarrassing. How old are you? Anyway, footy classified august 4th 2025. Feel free to watch that episode where they called out the AFL for fudging the Melbourne vs West Coast attendance.

Going off feels isn't sufficient.

If they have data to show a discrepancy, then show it.

These conversations have been done to death and no one has shown data to support it. If anywhere would want to cause a raucous it would be someone in the northern markets wanting to leak data showing the league has been fudging numbers in the hostile northern markets.

It hasn't happened.

They also said Hird was coming back to coach Essendon, so you'll excuse me if I don't take everything they say at face value.

You're predictable trolling efforts are embarrassing.

Troll questioning someone else's age.

Why don't you **** off somewhere else with some other like minded AFL hating dickheads and spu your bullshit there.

Of course the numbers were fudged.
