With the Cats securing a Preliminary Final berth, Geelong members will now have the chance to register for the Grand Final ballot. 

Priority access for registrations will apply, based on your 2024 membership.

Registration for the ballot will be on Wednesday 11 September at the following times:

Priority 1: 8am - 11am AEST 

Priority 2: 12pm - 3pm AEST 

Priority 3: 4pm - 6pm AEST

On Tuesday 10 September, you will receive a further email confirming your priority group, the registration timeframe, 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. 

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 2024 Toyota AFL Grand Final is by registering for the ballot at your designated time. 

HOW DOES THE BALLOT WORK?  

  • Registration times are separated according to membership priority group. To retain priority, members must register in the allocated timeframe. 

  • It does not matter what time you register within your allocated timeframe, 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).
