AFL Grand Final tickets range from about 195 AUD for the cheapest reserved seat up to around 500+ AUD for the most expensive standard category, with corporate hospitality packages running into the thousands per person.

Official ticket prices (recent seasons)

For standard AFL-issued Grand Final seats (not hospitality), recent pricing gives a good guide to what you can expect:

  • Cheapest reserved seat (entry-level): about 195 AUD in 2025 after a price rise from 2019 levels.
  • Most expensive standard reserved seat: about 515 AUD in 2025 after a small increase from 493 AUD.
  • In 2023, common price categories ranged roughly from about 185–448 AUD for adults across Categories 1–7, plus restricted view/standing room from around 155 AUD.

So if you just want “a seat in the ground” via an official allocation (club member, AFL member, MCC member, etc.), you’re usually looking at roughly 200–500 AUD depending on category and view.

Hospitality and package prices

If you’re looking at “package” tickets with food, functions, and premium seating, the prices jump dramatically:

  • Hospitality packages for the Grand Final routinely run at 2,000–3,500+ AUD per person for reserved seats combined with pre-game or post-game functions.
  • Some ultra-premium offerings (exclusive rooms, dining, Level 2 premium seats) can be 4,000–6,000+ AUD per person.

These are usually sold through authorised corporate/hospitality providers and often sell out well before the game.

How this usually plays out for fans

If you’re just trying to go as a regular fan and your club makes the Grand Final:

  • Club member allocations : You typically enter a ballot; if successful, you pay within the standard category range (roughly 200–500 AUD depending on the seat).
  • AFL/MCC members : Have their own allocation and pricing structures but are broadly in a similar ballpark per seat, again depending on category and membership type.
  • Weeks 1–3 of finals : Entry-level tickets for the earlier finals (not the Grand Final) have been frozen for years, with cheapest seats around 35 AUD for weeks 1–2 and 65 AUD for prelims, but that’s separate from Grand Final pricing.

On the secondary market , prices can go much higher depending on the teams and demand, but buying outside official or authorised channels carries obvious risks.

If you’re planning for the next Grand Final

  • Budget around 200–550 AUD for a standard officially-issued Grand Final seat, depending on category.
  • Budget 2,000–6,000+ AUD if you want a full hospitality package with functions and premium seats.
  • Keep an eye on AFL announcements mid-year for the exact year’s price list and club ballot details.
