Member Ticket Redemption  

• To purchase tickets to Gather Round matches, eligible AFL and club access members will be issued a single-use Gather Round barcode.   
• Only one ticket per barcode can be redeemed, no additional tickets.  
• Access members will be provided their Gather Round barcode directly by their club (or AFL membership)
• Your normal 2025 AFL or club membership barcode will not provide access to Gather Round tickets

Tickets for Gather Round will be available exclusively through the Ticketek App. You must use the Ticketek App to access your tickets. Ticket barcodes will become available to view and tickets will be available to share via the Ticketek App from 10am ACST, Tuesday, April 7, 2026. 

Clubs & AFL Membership will communicate directly with their access members to provide them with their Gather Round barcode.  This is different to members regular season barcode. Your normal 2026 AFL or club membership barcode will not provide access to Gather Round tickets.

Yes, the Gather Round barcode is valid both in the member priority windows and in the general public on-sale, with tickets subject to availability.  Please note, due to expected demand, we encourage members to purchase tickets as early as possible to avoid disappointment. 

No, access to Gather Round in Adelaide is an additional benefit outside of individual 2026 AFL and club membership packages. Redemption of a ticket for Gather Round does not impact existing membership inclusions for AFL and club access members.  

No, this won’t be possible. As Gather Round does not form part of club members’ standard home entitlements, they subsequently do not have access to their reserved seat. 

Adelaide Oval:

At the time tickets go on-sale, we are expecting tickets to be selling fast and therefore you won’t have the opportunity to select specific bays or seats. 

You will be able to select from ‘best available’ or your preferred price category. 

Norwood Oval:

Tickets are general admission, therefore you can just select ‘best available’ and find a viewing location when you arrive at the match. General admission tickets will give access to the unreserved Southern Grandstand, available on a first come, first served basis. 

Barossa Park:

You’ll be able to select either general admission or the unreserved grandstand.   

Accessible tickets will be available via Ticketek during the applicable on-sale period. 
Accessible tickets will be charged the applicable price of the bay it is positioned in. In some circumstances the AFL and the Venue may adjust some of these to ensure there are accessible tickets available in every price category.    

For accessible booking needs please check ticket availability on the match you wish to attend or visit the following Ticketek page for information here
