2025 Grand Final Ballot | Member Information​

What a win against the Brisbane Lions on Friday night to secure our place in the Preliminary Final in two weeks time!

This is an exciting time for the Club, and we are pleased to provide important information to eligible members about how to access a ticket to the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final, should the Geelong Cats qualify.

As we have now progressed to the Preliminary Final, as an eligible member you will have the opportunity to register for a ticket to the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final via the member Grand Final ballot. Priority access for registrations will apply, based on your 2025 membership.

Registration for the ballot will be on Wednesday 10 September, 9am – 6pm AEST. This year, registrations can be made between 9am – 6pm. There are no individual priority group times.

On Tuesday 9 September, you will receive a further email confirming your priority group and your eligible barcode/s for registration.

Ahead of this information being shared, please see below other important details including important information regarding Accessible Registrations.


HANDY HINTS
- Member barcodes will only be able to access the same ticket type as the membership type. For example, an adult membership barcode will access an adult ticket. There are no junior tickets for the Grand Final, junior membership barcodes will access concession tickets.

- Each member barcode will be charged a $6.00 non-refundable fee at time of registration to cover administration costs.

- Members who wish to be allocated tickets together must register for the Ballot in the same transaction. (Maximum of eight (8) members together)

- Members in different priority groups who wish to attend together must register under the lower priority group. For example, a Priority 1 Member who wishes to attend with Priority 2 Members must register with them in Priority 2 and will be processed with them as part of Priority 2 (forgoing Priority 1 access). Please be aware that registering in a lower priority group may reduce your chance of securing a ticket.


YOUR REGISTRATION
- All members will be required to register through Ticketek should they wish to purchase a Grand Final ticket. We will email you the day prior to registration as a reminder with your barcodes and Ticketek link.

- We will also update the Registration Guide on the membership website with relevant links, information and barcodes.

- We want to emphasise that the only way to secure the opportunity to access a ticket for the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final is by registering for the ballot.


HOW DOES THE BALLOT WORK?
- Registration will be open for all priority groups between 9am-6pm. 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.

- It does not matter what time you register on the day, as all registrations within each priority group will be randomised to determine the order of ticket allocation.

- If we were to win a Preliminary Final, Ticketek would, using an automated system, randomly allocate tickets to Priority 1 members who registered and then, randomly allocate the remaining tickets among Priority 2 and then Priority 3 members (subject to availability).

- 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 as there will be no follow up if your credit card declines.

- Tickets will be allocated on a next best available basis and therefore members can receive either a reserved seat, restricted view seat or standing room ticket (subject to whether you nominated if you would accept standing room at the time of registration).
