The Geelong Football Club celebrated their number one ticket holders last weekend at their annual dinner, where everyone reached in to their pockets and raised over $430,000 for the club.

Daryl Somers has spent many years as the number one male Ticket Holder, along with Geelong’s female Ticket Holder, Rebecca Maddern. Their contribution and generosity has been remarkable and very much appreciated by the club.

At the annual dinner, Somers took the opportunity to announce that he will pass over his number one position to Melbourne Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle, and Geelong Mayor, Keith Fagg, at the end of the year.  

The event was held in the Regent Theatre's ballroom and was hosted by Rebecca Maddern, who will remain as the number one female Ticket Holder for Geelong.
