2026 AFL FINALS – TICKETING INFORMATION

Preliminary Final ticketing dates and times will be announced once those fixtures are confirmed.

HAWTHORN AND SYDNEY SWANS FANS:
GRAND FINAL BALLOT INFORMATION

Supporters of clubs still alive in the Finals should also start preparing for potential 2026 AFL Grand Final member ballots.

Grand Final tickets allocated to competing club members are generally distributed through a ballot rather than a normal first-in-best-dressed sale.
This means registering at 9:00am rather than later within your allocated registration window does not improve your position in the ballot.

Each club has its own registration windows and priority groups, so check your club's official Finals information carefully.

Sydney members: Grand Final ballot registration is scheduled for Wednesday 9 September, 9am–6pm AEST for all priority groups.

Members must select the correct priority group when registering. Selecting the wrong group can affect your priority.

Hawthorn members: Eligible members should also check their club's Grand Final registration instructions, including their allocated Priority Group and registration window. Members registering together generally need to register in the same transaction and should have all required membership barcodes ready beforehand.
Registration in a Grand Final ballot does not guarantee a ticket. If your club qualifies and your ballot application is successful, the nominated payment card will generally be charged automatically.

BE PREPARED

Before any member sale or ballot:
Have your membership barcode(s) ready.
Check that your membership is eligible and fully paid/up to date.

Know your correct priority group.
Make sure your Ticketmaster/Ticketek account details are current.

Check your nominated card has sufficient funds and won't expire.

If buying or registering as a group, have everyone's eligible barcodes ready before the sale or registration begins.

TIXMATES REMINDER

Never post your membership barcode publicly. Treat it like a password — someone with access to it may potentially use your ticketing entitlement.
Ticket availability for Finals is limited and demand will be extremely high. Always double-check information supplied directly by your club, the AFL and the relevant ticketing agency before purchasing.

Good luck to everyone chasing tickets this week. TixMates will keep the community updated as Preliminary Final and Grand Final ticketing information becomes available.

Should anybody require any assistance or have any questions, please send us a message regarding any information.

We will update everybody regarding tickets that become available through us in the coming days as members look to move their seats on with our assistance.

Message us!

We're due for a blockbuster tonight with over 95,000 predicted!

Hey everybody!

We thought we would drop one of these up given its a very busy time and everybody is trying to get to the footy over the Finals Series.

Below is a conversation with someone claiming to sell seats to the footy, and is quite clearly a fake account just making it up on the spot. We will dot point some of the red flags below, keep in mind while some of them may be considered easily triggered / sensitive flags to look for, it will go a long way to prevent you all getting scammed.

~Asking how much you're willing to pay and taking a best offer

~"Open to negotiating" after $150 had been agreed on (This isn't nomal)

~"I would love to help a fellow fan" is not how footy fans talk to each other 2 minutes into a conversation, especially saying "Fellow fan" this is borderline broken English given the context

~"I'll transferring via directly to your ticketet account" - Broken English

~"Do you have an email for receiving the both tickets" - Broken English

~Sob story about a sister fracturing a leg and being flown out for surgery? Ask yourself how likely it is that all that happened between Monday and now and consider how far fetched that sounds. Especially when again, a price had already been agreed upon and sorted, and this person is still trying to sob story their way into you saying yes, even though the buyer here already had

~Where the seller had put in the first / last name and email address. For anybody who has Ticketek, this isn't what it looks like on Ticketek, this should be an immediate red flag. If you arent sure what the page looks like on Ticketek, go to an existing ticket and press "Share ticket" to see the page it comes up with

~"We can actually make a deal for you" paragraph: This is desperation by a scammer, and nobody in their right mind should be dying to only want half of your money in a sh*tty attempt to gain your trust. Occasionally doing it ticket by ticket is one thing, but if you want to play it safe, this isn't it, plus the hands praying emoji, and the language used in this paragraph is again broken English.

~This one is a classic one, using the word "payment" and "making payment" these are over the top formal ways of organizing a bank transfer and again is broken English at worst, and over the top formal at best in a way that it doesn't sound right, and often enough you'll find it sound off because the seller is off.

~emails provided by the seller for PayID full of numbers where the email is clearly just a made up email for scamming purposes that would be taken down quickly after they scam you.

~To cap it all off, the final screenshot asking where M19 is and if its members or MCC etc, anyone who knows the MCG well, knows that M19 is AFL reserve, not club members, so this was just us catching them out red handed in a bu****it.

If anybody has any other questions about anyone they come across, you are all welcome to message us with screenshots of conversations and we can help look for red flags for you!
